[QUOTE="ElegantEsthetic, post: 1098958, member: 169137"] If I had to guess... 50 feet? But it's a cheap router working through 2 large rooms, a flight of stairs, another 'room', and its way into our rooms. Sometimes we'll get some kind of reception, other times there's absolutely nothing. It seems to change with the wind, as it can be sitting perfectly still and then signal will disappear and come back five minutes later. Infuriating, to say the least; and not something we want to happen while we're doing software updates. While we could technically run cable and use a network connection, that kind of defeats the purpose of having a [I]portable[/I] computer anmd would be unsightly. I'll look around online for some more (I believe Macs are compatible with most routers, right?) and try to check compatibility; my main question was about the Airport Express, so maybe I'll just ask Apple directly.
