i kinda fail to see what it is.

so do you hook up your router to the airport express base station and it creates a wireless network for you? is that what the ethernet port on the base station is for?

i understand the usb is to get a wireless printer and the audio jack is for streaming your sound.

can you only hook up an airport extreme to the airport express?

The easy-to-use AirPort Utility — available for both Mac OS X and Windows — guides you through the setup process step by step. Use AirPort Express to create a new wireless network3 or to extend the range of your existing AirPort-based network.

thats what the apple site says. but the base station is not a router is it? it just creates a wireless network from a cable coming from your current router.

is there anything else i can use to stream audio from my laptop to my router to my stereo?
