¹The AirPort Express Base Station is based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification and is compatible with IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and IEEE 802.11g. Music streaming with AirTunes requires iTunes 4.6 or later and a compatible stereo system or powered speakers. Wireless Internet access requires a Wi-Fi–enabled computer, base station or other wireless access point, and Internet access; fees may apply. Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort. Wireless printing over USB requires Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later and a compatible printer. ²Based on a comparison with Apple’s 802.11g products. Comparison assumes AirPort Express network with 802.11n-enabled computer. Speed and range will be less if an 802.11a/b/g product joins the network. Accessing the wireless network requires an AirPort- or AirPort Extreme–enabled computer or other Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a/b/g-enabled computer. Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions.
