Even if the hotel has "free wifi" , it's a major upgrade to plug this into ethernet in the room and make your own wireless network. Much much faster and more secure/stable. Big winner.

(see this same question in wired to wireless) Has anyone had success with AE boosting a wimpy wireless hotel signal to a stronger one to use wirelessly within the hotel room?

Took my express on the road for the first time and though it worked at home ... It was green on the road in the hotel but my Internet would not connect. Not on my ipad2 or another computer. Wondering if I screwed up the setup...any tricks during setu?

I have used it to set up wifi in hotels that only had an ethernet connection in rooms. That's one of the reasons I got it in the first place, so I could use my laptop in places other than the desk. I've also used it in offices that only have an ethernet connection. You do have to set it up FIRST on your system to create the SSID and password. If you're going to use it in hotels or on the road, definitely set up the password.

If you mean whether or not you can connect to a hot spot (any hot spot) then the answer is yes. It just needs to be open or you need to have the password for it. Make sure airline mode is not on or anything that would prevent WIFI from working.

The ONLY router I use is the Airport Express and I use it with my iMac and my wife's Acer laptop. On my iMac, plugged and play. On my wife's laptop I did use the built-in WIFI setup in Windows Vista and connected right away. I've been using this configuration for the past 4 years with no problem. The range on my setup is about 50-70 feet, with the Airport in my living room. It covers all rooms in my home (1200 sq ft) and extends outside.

You can use it strictly as an access point. I travel a lot and use it at hotels that require a sign in page. That way I can still connect my xbox.

I do not know about improvements over the model I have - BUT - I find this useless for travel, since there is no way to connect to most hotel's wireless Internet - no password, "I accept", etc. Calling the IT guys is nuts, because every time the hotel WiFi shudders - you are booted off, and no way to get back on. I use this at HOME all the time - but my iPhone, or am mp3 player loaded with my podcasts - when I travel. The LIGHT is also very bright - I have the WHOLE FRONT of mine covered with duct tape, because I sleep with Net Radio on - and the light is blinding. Godd for what it is - but could use some serious tweaks. And all stations MUST be set from your computer, too.

This device will pickup any wifi signal (hotel,airport, home wifi). You don't need to plug in your router in this device because this device itself can act as a router/repeater. Please download the product brochure to see various ways this device can be used.Also you will need to plug it in power outlet to use it and also need some laptop/tablet to set it up. Hope that helps.

It is my understanding that all the iPod touch have wifi. My son has an older model and the wifi feature has come in handy for him, even overseas.

Yes, this device has multiple modes and can be connected to hotel room network jack and will create a WiFi signal to have your own personal wireless hotspot so you can connect your laptop, cell phone, iPad, etc. wirelessly to this TP-LINK.

Hi Ricardo , is just by ethernet cable , no wifi , but It has AirPlay once its conected you can send music from iPod iPad or your laptop. You can send video though , even when its suppose to do it. You can add an Apple TV and you will have it complete. Since the Apple TV it's a Wifi you can have like a media center with the device, also have an iPad and iPhone app so you can control it from it which make it better, the apps works fine. You might have some issues the first time but once the reciever is connected you have to update software and will be ok .I really happy with it , also have a speaker Bose , great.

You are correct. The Airport Express will attach itself to your wireless network as a "client." It may be easier to think of it as having another computer plugged in to your home entertainment system (and connected to your wireless network) that only streams music. On your desktop or laptop, you would open up iTunes and choose the play the music "through" the Airport Express, which would be connected to your entertainment system with an audio cable. Your laptop would wirelessly stream the music thru your wireless router and to the Airport Express, which then decodes it and sends it thru the audio cable to your entertainment center.

There probably is no Airport Card. If you have one, (Check by lifting off the Keyboard.), then it's because your network does not support older WiFi Cards.

The Range Extender uses your electrical outlets as its transmission line. Wherever the Apple Airport is plugged in becomes a transmitter to the extender which is connected to the PC or other device by an Ethernet cable. When I plugged this unit into the outlet and connected to the PC I had a good signal and the PC works great. Set up was a little tricky. I downloaded the manual online and that made the set-up quite simple. The extender that I purchased was a refurbished model but has worked flawlessly. I love this product.

Well, I don't know if I fully understand your question. The Airport is not a printer. If you want to plug in a USB printer and let the Airport bridge that onto the network, you certainly can. Or you can hook up an Ethernet or wireless printer. But whether or not any of those print from an iPad is more a driver issue than anything. Some printers are AirPrint compatible, and some need something else running on a computer to make them visible to the iPad. Sorry, but there is no simple answer here.

There is a P2 connector (cable not included), so you can connect the speaker on the Airport Express, but there is no need for it, since you can connect it directly to the device (iPhone, for example) via Bluetooth, without going through AE.

From the iPod, just click the "settings" app, then click the "wi-fi" setting. Use the first item in the list to turn wi-fi on (if it isn't already), then just below that will be "choose a network..." Any available wireless access points / routers it sees will show up. Just click on the one you want to connect to. If it requires a password, it will prompt you. Pretty much the same as on Android.

Yes I bought an Apple Airport Express and I set it up as a bridge. It works great!

I can confirm that Graham's "Airport Extreme base station -- Airport Express hooked up to the KDL52XBR9" solution does indeed work. It took about 15 total minutes and all was working great. I tried the recommended Linksys, but I couldn't get the Airport Extreme to wirelessly "find" the Linksys WET610N at all. (Reset the network, double-checked passwords, reset the network, cursed liberally. No luck.) FWIW, my Airport Express is on the 1st floor with the Airport Extreme on the 2nd floor, separated by a total of maybe 35' straight-line between the two. With this arrangement, I seem to be able to easily and readily stream HD content.
