[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 925232, member: 24098"] AirPort is Apple's brand name for "WiFi". The Airport card in your Mac is akin to a WiFi adapter. Although WiFi adapters can be setup to work in ad hoc mode and emulate a router in a sense, their functionality is extremely limited. The AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme products are more or less akin to a standard WiFi router. The Express has some specialized functionality that allows you to easily stream music using WiFi and can approximate a router, although it's pretty limited. The Extreme is more in line with a traditional router, although it has some NAS and printer sharing functionality. I know that doesn't answer your question, but I hope it sheds a little light on the product line-up. [/QUOTE]
