 (Almost) perfect home appliance., May 16, 2023
It doesn't get any simpler than that. Plug to the stereo, plug your printer. It works (at least in a Mac environment).
The defects:
1- The USB connector is way too close to the audio connector. If you use a monster cable with an L-shaped plug, or presumably any other cable with a big plug, you'll end up with the USB connector and the audio plug competing for space and creating pressure.
2- Plugging to the wall? I've not been too happy with plugging the device to a wall socket (okay, so my wall sockets are poor).
The wish:
I wish I could also connect hard drives on this device.

 A little help for those who don't speak Apple, May 2, 2023
I love my AirPort Express, now that it works... I had problems from the beginning of setup with the Apple Software. I followed the excellent advice from the first spotlight reviewer, and my AirPort was now a part of my wireless network. I had a little more trouble with my printer. I have an HP Photosmart 7760 (great printer, by the way) and it is "not supported" for use with an AirPort Express per HP. But not being easily deterred, I searched the net for a solution. I found these two sites which greatly help those whose printer is "not supported" or easily installed for whatever reason.
To print from a Windows XP computer to a printer on an AirPort base station, go to http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html and follow the directions. It's a great site with pictures and step-by-step instructions.
If your printer driver is not found or supported, go to http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1012.html and follow the directions. This site also has pictures and step-by-step instructions.
I hope this is helpful and removes a little of the stress of setting up your AirPort on a Windows XP computer.

Another 5 Stars for Apple, May 1, 2023
Within 5 minutes from out of the box, I had this out and working. Range is great, and it was very easy to set up the security. Couldn't be a better product, does exactly what it is advertised for, and the 5 different sets of settings make it a truely mobile wireless base station, haven't seen a better one yet. I have used both Lynksys and D-Link and they do not come close to ease of use and quality.

Easy, if you follow Scott P. Jones' steps....., Apr 27, 2023
Do yourself a favor and follow the steps written by Scott P. Jones :
"More Clear Windows Help, March 30, 2023
Reviewer: Scott P. Jones (Seattle, WA)"
I got set this way in 10 minutes!!!!
Now, setting up PRINTER was more of a challenge for me. I followed AirPort's Setup Guide on p.21. Point (6) tells you to fill in the port name, etc. Pay attention to "NOTE" and instead of 10.0.1.1 put in your Base Station's IP address (You can find that by going to: AirPort Admin Utility -->Base Station (highlighted)--> IP address (3rd line).
Then follow all the rest of the steps and you are all set!

Once it was set up, the sound quality is amazing., Apr 25, 2023
I also had issues in setting up the Apple AirPort Express with Air Tunes, but actually benefited from the instructions posted here for Windows. Follow the instructions posted on October 8, 2023 by Mark R. Conway and you'll be fine. The only thing he doesn't mention is you have to know your wireless network name. Once I figured out how to get this, it was a snap.
