Anyway, I am now in the market for an
airport or airport express. I have a small apartment and use a cable
modem.
I am wondering if there is any reason to get an Airport Extreme, which
is $79 plus tax more than the Express? The Express does have a
firewall and other security features, but
For a single or small-family user such as yourself, there is little
difference between the Express (cheap) and the Extreme (less cheap).
The major differences are few:
Extreme: supports up to 50 users, features an extra Ethernet port for
wired computers (say a guest comes over who doesn't have an 802.xx
card), contains dial-up modem in case cable goes out or you don't
require high-speed connection.
Express: Supports up to 10 users, no extra Ethernet port, no dialing
modem.
That's basically it.
