Hi Stephen I'd probably add in the Airport Express, as like you mention, you don't have to reconfigure everything. And also, as mention previous times before the Airport Express is Dual Band wireless, and given the devices you mention, this would be an advantage. (A quick look at the DLink specs doesn't list it as Dual Band, and I'd assume at that price it wouldn't be). Slightly more for the new Airport Express ($119), but worth it. <http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/> Dual band info - <http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/#dual-band>
