AirPort Express 802.11n

The Apple AirPort Express 802.11n (1st Generation) is an audio receiver that was designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple from 2008 to 2012 as part of the AirPort Express series. The base station has been introduced on March 17, 2008, and its price started at $99.

AirPort Express is a slimmed-down version of the AirPort Extreme base station with AirTunes support. AirTunes allowed iTunes music to be streamed wirelessly to a HiFi.

This version features the faster 802.11n draft specification and operation in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The AirPort Express station shipped in a very small form factor, allowed up to 10 connections, lacked a modem and second RJ-45 ethernet port, but featured an analog/optical digital audio post instead.

This AirPort Express has been discontinued on June 11, 2012.

Today AirPort Express 802.11n is 16 years old!
