[QUOTE="mac57, post: 671640, member: 17052"] I have a wireless router as well, but still use an Airport Express. I bought it for two reasons. First, the Airport Express is WiFi "n", which is about 3 times faster than the WiFi "g" my wireless router supplies. I plugged my Airport Express into my wireless DSL modem/router, and once I had the Airport Express all set up, I turned off the wireless part of the DSL modem/router. Now my home WiFi comes strictly from the Airport Express. This response is being posted over it! Secondly, I have a MacBook Pro. I take the Airport Express along with me when I am traveling to places that have wired internet but no wireless internet. I can plug the Airport Express into the wired DSL plug at such places and Voila! instant WiFi. I am then free to move around with the MacBook Pro without having to be connected to an internet cable. So, there are two possible other things you might consider doing with that Airport Express. [/QUOTE]
