Apple AirPort Express Base Station (802.11n)

Pros

New, faster 802.11n wireless standard 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz frequency bands supported Same price as the original model Audio streaming capability remains unique Imminently portable because of its small size Easy setup

Cons

Not as fast as other 802.11n routers Can't connect an external hard drive to the USB port No Ethernet ports for wired clients

Verdict

Don't pick up a new, 802.11n-enabled AirPort Express if you're looking for superfast wireless networking performance. You should consider it, however, if you're in the market for a new Wi-Fi router that offers portability, ease of use and the unique ability to stream iTunes over your network.
