if you have the express, what else do you need to stream audio? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Howell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2008 6:30 AM Subject: Re: express and extreme
The Extreme has additional lan ports, as well as some additional features. It's um more a professional type router, but the Express is no slowtch. The Express is very small, compact, about the size of the power supply shipped with Apple notebooks. It has the ability to play streaming audio via the 1/8 inch jack, it has a usb printer port as does the Extreme, and the wan port of course like the Extreme. What it comes down to is what features your looking for. If you have a few machines, you want to stream audio, and your looking for something start a wireless network, the Express will do just fine. If your looking for additional ports, a wireless/wired backup solution, additional features for serving a larger network, the Extreme or Time Capsule will be your best bet. I use an Time Capsule and an Express and an older Extreme as extenders for my network.
