Wow, providing you don’t want any encryption, it does work out of the box. plugged the audio out into my speakers, i-tunes picked up the AP and I can stream music to wherever the speakers are..
Apple for once, this is not an overpriced all show product this is useful and works with Windows, MAC – well done.
What am I doing with mine? Well it’s extending the coverage of my existing wireless network (based on a Linksys AP), and streaming music.
It’s got multiple profiles within the unit, so you can take it on the road – plug it into a switch/hub at a friends or a hotel and go wireless almost instantly (you have to select the profile from an installed app of your Windows/Mac).
Cost? £80… good value, and an excellent way to extend your network or create a new one easily.

I bought an Apple Airport Express a couple years ago when they came out.. I use mine everyday and it formed part of my bag of trick for work. On the rare times it is used at home, it lives under my hifi and is also used to extend the wireless range (via WPA and my full size Airport) and as a print server and wireless bridge for my 360. The only thing is it doesn’t support uPnP
