It’s not quite as powerful as the Time Capsule ($299 and $499, www.apple.com) or AirPort Extreme ($179), which can pump out three data streams to the Express’s two, and those two base stations also let you connect a USB hard drive, while the Express’...

The AirPort Express Base Station doesn't support 450Mbps Wireless-N standard, 802.11ac, or even Gigabit Ethernet, and its USB port lacks support for external storage devices
The new Apple AirPort Express Base Station is a decent upgrade to the previous generation, but it doesn't have much beyond its supersleek looks to impress us when compared with its peers.
Using your own speakers can make this a cost-effective solution, although it's best to use matching speakers in adjacent rooms so there's a smooth sound transition as you move between rooms. If you're looking to spend several hundred dollars per room on s...
Excellent value; compact for travel; AirTunes audio streaming
Lower throughput than Extreme and Time Capsule; no gigabit ethernet ports, $119
The quibbles about USB and ethernet are relatively minor compared to the features available in this mighty mite. 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 a...

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...
