I have the Airport express and love it for my home networking needs.
As I understand it, the express is a home router which can support up
to 10 computers, whereas, the extreme is a professional type router
which has more lan ports and can support up to 50 computers.
The express is fast and extremely reliable, and I would highly
recommend it for a home network.

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.

What are the differences between the airport expreme and the
airport express. Am I right in thinking that the extreme is a
router and the express is a wireless music system for itunes
mainly? Or is the express some kind of router, and if so, why is
it cheaper than the extreme?
