Music where you want it

Advantages: Moved music from your PC to you living room
Disadvantages: None

The Apple AirPort Express is an interesting bit of kit. It's a wireless device that you can use in one of three ways [or, in fact, in all three ways]. It can create a wireless network to allow your desktop, laptop, wii, PSP etc to talk to each other. It doesn't have a built in modem, so won't connect directly to the internet, but it does have an ethernet port and so could be used with a modem to connect the network to the internet. However, I think ...
...receiver. It has a USB port, into which you could plug a USB printer. This then makes you printer usable from any machine in the house, without having to have a dedicated network printer. The reason I got one, though, is because it comes with a piece of software called AirTunes. This allows it to receive music streamed from any desktop or laptop [Windows or Mac] which has iTunes on it. The Express has a music output port: this allows you to use ...

Review of Apple AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes

Wi-Fi At It's Best

Advantages: Extremely quick internet access, stylish, great for iPhones
Disadvantages: Expensive

**What Is It?** The Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n) is one of the newest wireless internet devices by Apple. This is the upgrade of the original Apple Airport, and is much more powerful. **Why Buy It?** I bought it mainly for the computer, I had never used a wireless router before but had heard they were very good and efficient. But another big reason we bought it was because we have an iPhone, so it would allow us access to the internet ...
...Airport Extreme from the actual Apple shop in Glasgow. There are Apple shops scattered around the UK but they are very limited and only in the biggest cities like London, Birmingham and Glasgow. If you are seriously thinking of purchasing the Airport Extreme then the best way in my opinion is online at www.apple.com/uk/thestore There you can find more of the technical information and find out if it is really for you or not. Other sites also offer ...

Review of Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station

Airport Express-Unplug Your Apple

Advantages: Makes your computer wireless.
Disadvantages: A bit fidly to install

...bought the card from the Apple Store and this was as usual as painless as ever until it was handed to the carriers. UPS subcontracted the delivery to Coopers carriers who lost it and sent it back to their depot .when they did eventually find it they attempted to return it to Apple even though their operative advised that he had forwarded it to me. It finally arrived three days late. This was the carriers fault not Apple. On speaking to Apple they ...
...Quality As with all Apple hardware the quality is excellent (possibly ipod excepted) I am hoping that the reliability will be as good as the i book it is installed in (now three years old without a hitch) Conclusion If you are thinking about getting one but are worried about compatability without the Apple base station there really is no need it works with the BT hub fantastically and has excellent coverage all over the house. It does everything ...

Review of Apple Airport Extreme Card

XBOX 360 Wireless Adaptor - a must for serious gamers!

Advantages: Online gaming anywhere in the house
Disadvantages: Can lose connectivity without warning and expensive

If, like me, you have an Xbox 360, you will no doubt be aware of the dynamic and enjoyable facility available to you online, namely Xbox live. Xbox live is a place where you can download demos and game add-ons, chat to your friends, and stream movies and videos direct to your Xbox 360 in glorious high definition. But while the Nintendo Wii and the Sony Playstation 3 can go online straight from the box without any additional hardware, Microsoft, in ...
...standard in the Xbox 360. This product is great if you don't want to have cables trailing over the house to play XBOX Live, although the consistency of the connection can be a little patchy at times. The Live kit is simple to install, even for a novice like me, and the instructions are clear and concise. For serious gamers I recommend that you wire the XBOX up to the net the old fashioned way, as it is very frustrating whilst playing Call of Duty ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

An essential part of Xbox 360 online gaming!

Advantages: User friendly
Disadvantages: Plastic casing

At first I felt put off by the price, but if you have your wireless router and Xbox at opposite ends of the house, you could have an ethernet cable (a wonderful trip hazard and possible damage to the router/Xbox if someone were to trip). The only pain (physical) is trying to get it out of the package without being scrached by the plastic casing. Once pluged into the back, very little had to be done except for setting up the password for the secure ...
