“I have a stream”. Or was that dream? Either way

Media streamer. See

Time Capsule is expensive for just an additional hard drive
AirPort Express lacks 802.11ac and Gigabit Ethernet
Only one USB port on AirPort Extreme
You HAVE to use Apple's iTunes software to stream music. Also
Don't expect a remote – you control it through your computer. We also used it to extend our existing wireless network's range
Which is a good point. So why's it here? We...
Slightly pricey. Works best with cable modems. Needs app to set up
All three are great WiFi routers, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule feature 802.11AC wireless, AirPort Express is a good way to extend a network, AirPort Express has AirPlay audio
Time Capsule is expensive for just an additional hard drive, AirPort Express lacks 802.11ac and Gigabit Ethernet, only one USB port on AirPort Extreme
If you haven't got an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, and are looking to improve your Wi-Fi network, we recommend you get one of Apple's base stations. Both are superb devices that offer a range of features and better performance than most routers ...

Small and neat; AirPlay functionality; dual antenna; good software interface that can be used from Mac or iOS device
No longer plugs directly into a wall; only has 100base-T Ethernet sockets
Owning an Apple router is a great option for those of us with multiple Apple devices (MacBooks, iPhones, and so on) and it's an easier and smarter way to set-up and manage a network in the home or small office. There's not much between an AirPort Express...
As access point the Apple AirPort Express is a very good product. The device is easy to configure and has excellent wireless performance. We would not recommend using it as a router, because the hardware is a bit too limited for that with the small numb...
Stylish, minimalist design, Class leading AirPlay Performance, Integrated AirPrint functionality, Intuitive setup
Mediocre wireless performance & range, No Gigabit Ethernet, No support for USB storage
The 2012 AirPort Express is a hard device to score. On the surface it is an incremental upgrade to a four year old product which doesn't include support for either 802.11ac or Gigabit Ethernet and both wireless performance and range are average at best. O...
For the money, the Express makes an effective base station for modestly sized apartments or homes, or where access is only needed in a few adjacent rooms in an office. This sleek model is the right choice for many, and at £60 less than the AirPort Extr...
As a wireless adaptor, Draft-N or not, AirPort Express has a compact, well thought out design, but that's not really enough to sell it. Luckily, the addition of a USB port and an audio output make this more than a one trick pony. You only have to start st...
Abstract: Verdict: Apples new AirPort Express is a neatly designed portable router, but theres little here to tempt owners of the original version. Apples AirPort Express is a portable wireless router, which is handy if you want wireless internet access in...
