Overview

Apple AirPort Express Base Station (802.11n)

Editors rating
Rating: 7.3
Verdict

Don't pick up a new, 802.11n-enabled AirPort Express if you're looking for superfast wireless networking performance. You should consider it, however, if you're in the market for a new Wi-Fi router that offers portability, ease of use and the unique ability to stream iTunes over your network.

Typical price

£ 65
