You will use AirPort Utility to accomplish these things. It takes
maybe all of ten or so seconds to boot, but of course your going to
have to open the utility and see if it appears in the table of
routers. It'll have a name like Apple some number. Not sure how the
new ones show up. It'll then allow you to configure it and set it up
not only to stream music, but to act as an extender as well.

Hi all mac listers.
can anyone please advise i've just purchased an airport express and
i'm wondering i've connected power to the unit and am wondering is
the first thing I should do is open airport utility and upgrade the
firmware and then how do I just tell airport express I want to
stream music wirelessly using iTunes?
I thought I remember Esther or someone saying I can tell airport
express to then connect to my wireless router using 80211n and then
once configured take it in to the next room and connect it to my
stereo aux in.
Is this correct so far or have I missed anything important?
how long does an airport express take to boot up when power is
applied?
Does the firmware for airport express get upgraded only via the
airport utility and not via software update like other mac firmware?
Sorry for the questions am new to airport express and setting up an
airport device on a mac for the first time.
Thanks all for your assistance.
