oddly though, the extream does nt seem to support audio streaming the way the express does. My question is how do you stream audio. it has this audio output jack, what do you do with it? do you have to put it near the source to which you wish to stream and run a cable or is there something else you get?

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.
