Difference between extreme and express...

I am trying to create a WI-FI network at my home. I was told I needed the Airport Extreme. I also see there is an Airport Express, what is the difference and can I create the network with the express or do I have to have the extreme…
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the discussion area!
If you are planning to connect using wireless only, the AirPort Express will handle up to 10 clients. You will be able to create one wireless network with the AirPort Express, so older "slower" devices and newer "faster" devices will all share the same network. The older devices tend to slow down the faster devices in this type of setup.
If you are planning to also connect some of your devices using ethernet, the AirPort Extreme has 3 ethernet ports for devices. In addition, the AirPort Extreme creates a "dual-band" wireless network. You'll have one "fast" network for newer devices and a "slow" network for older devices. Both bands will have the same wireless network name so this will all happen seamlessly as computers and devices will automatically connect to the "best" band. Slower devices will not slow down the faster devices in this type of setup.
The AirPort Extreme also has a Guest Network feature, which allows you to setup a separate network for "guests". They will be able to connect to the internet, but they will not be able to "see" any of the computers or devices on your private network.
The AirPort Extreme will allow you to connect a hard drive for file storage, which all computers on the network can "share". The AirPort Express cannot accommodate a hard drive.

  • Difference between Pro and Express

    What are some of the big differences between the Pro and Express versions of the Logic programs? I'm trying to decide what I might be missing out on if I go with the Express.

  • Difference Between Pro and Express 8

    So I've been using my brother's Logic Pro but he's decided to start recording again so it's a hassle as when he wants to record I can't, so obviously I will have to buy some software ASAP.
    But I've been using Pro and it costs £280 or so for the studio package. Is express the same without the jam packs and such? Basically I use the drums/percussion and bass guitars (until I can buy one) but no other instruments; I also use the plug in effects. Does it have all of this in express 8 as it would save me a shed load of money if I bought that.

    You can find your answer in the old dirty way: comparing tech specs......

    and don't forget that Logic Pro is part of Logic Studio.......

  • Exact differences between Studio and Express, thinking of downgrading.

    Hi - I have a brand new copy of Logic Studio 9. I think Logic itself is wonderful, and I'm interested in some of the other tools such as the Apple loop Utility and the contents of the Jam Packs etc. What I found thought is that maybe I should have bought the Express edition instead since the likes of SoundTrack Pro, WaveBurner, Compressor and all the distributed cluster management software is way over powered for what I want to do, and I'll probably rarely use them. Mainstage I'm divided on - it might be useful but I could equally do without it.
    So what I'd like to know is, is the Logic in the Express edition exactly the same as in Studio, and does Express include the Loop Utility and the Jam Packs? If I sell my copy of Studio and downgrade to Express then will I lose any of these things?

    You ask about the loops utility - you don't get that. You do get 1000 or so loops (as opposed to 20K with Studio), no 40gigs of Jampacks. Full install of Express is 8gigs.
    Editing and whatnot is the same, flex, varispeed, etc. Amp designer stuff is the same.
    Can't say all the diffs, but you don't get Sculpture, Space Designer, or Delay designer.
    Not sure about ES2, the Clavinet, maybe things like Match EQ, AdLimit, LinPhase EQ, vocoder. I think at least a couple of those are not in Express.

  • Any software differences between new airport express and extreme?

    I was wondering if there are any features or configuration differences between the two, such as configuring VPN passthrough.
    The only difference I can see is using the USB for hard drive use.
    Also, do you think the performance will be similar.  I know the time capsule actually rated slower than the extreme even though they use similar hardware.

  • Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an airport extreme?

    My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme. I have a HP officejet 5610 All-in-One. I want to be able to print wirelessly using my Airport Extreme.  Thank you

    Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an AirPort Exreme?
    Big difference. 
    AirPrint for one will not work via USB, so you will not be able to print from an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad using this type of connection unless you look at additional software....that may or may not allow this option.
    Assuming that you get the All-in-One setup using the USB port on the AirPort.......only printing is supported.
    You will not be able to use any other advanced features like maintenance, scan, copy, fax, etc when the device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort.
    If you plan to use the HP for other things, I would strongly recommend that you connect it to your computer.
    My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme.
    This usually indicates that your printer model is not supported. Check with HP Support to see if they have any updated Macintosh drivers for the 5610 that you could download and install that might allow this.

  • Why would i connect a external hardrive to the airport extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN gigabit ethernet?

    Hey just wanted to know what is the reason i would connect my external hardrive to the extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN ehternet. I know one is local and other is wide but can someone explain in simpler terms.

    Connecting a hard drive to the Airport Extreme makes it available to be shared across all the computers on your network.
    WAN (Wide Area Network) is your connection to the internet
    LAN (Local Area Network) is your internal (or local) ethernet connections (computers, printers, etc...)

  • Just purchased an Airport Extreme , what´s the difference between LAN and WAN

    just purchased an Airport Extreme , what´s the difference between LAN and WAN

    Check the Setup Guide for the AirPort Extreme to confirm that the WAN port accepts the signal from your modem or from another router on your network.
    Other Ethernet devices on your network connect to the LAN <-> ports.

  • Whats the difference between list and lov ?

    Whats the difference between list and lov ?
    i can do the same things with a list what an lov can do .
    infact a list is more better. cause the list doesnt hold/show a range of values, and only has the items value iteself.
    while the lov can get all the values of items depending on the query.
    like
    select ename, job, sal from emp
    will show all the three items values in lov?

    Also, if you're looking in the US store, the prices are:
    - Airport Express (small, no ac) $99 - Has audio out for speaker connection using Airplay. Can share a USB printer only.
    - Airport Extreme (larger, ac) $199 - No audio out, can share a USB printer or hard drive.
    - Time Capsules (2TB, 3TB at $299, $399) - have ac wireless and a backup hard drive for Time Machine which the other Airports do not have.

    Ravikumar:
    You have already posted something quite similar to this posting here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=735377
    While I cannot speak for everyone else here, I personally find your approach rather rude and inconsiderate. The manner in which you are posting these questions implies that you not only do not recognize that there is work involved in answering them but that you do not sufficiently understand them in such a manner as to be able to phrase them coherently.
    I expect that you are attempting to do your homework by exploiting the helpful people on this forum rather than by learning the material in question. If I am mistaken as to your intentions, please inform me and I will apologize to you. However, I find it difficult to believe that anyone would have such poor forum etiquette as not to realize that posting a "question" in the form of a topic statement is impolite.
    There are many fine people here who will assist you in learning and applying Java; I have relied upon their assistance on multiple occasions and found it indispensible. But you are far more likely to receive a helpful response (at least from me) if you take the time to express your questions more fully and (especially) to learn the material.
    Cheers and happy learning.

  • Difference between void and null?

    wht is da difference between void and null w.r.t java?

    Why do you care, unless you're implementing a java compiler or JVM?Wow, you sure do suck at helping out in a forum. Why even make this post? You're not helping the OP any, and you made yourself look like a tool.
    To the op:
    Null is java's version of a null value. Java's version is more strict then many other languages, and will not work in a boolean expression or anywhere code expects a real and not null value. It's simply null.
    Void is java's way of declaring no return type on a method. Methods that are void take no 'return' statement and if one is provided will cause a fatal error. The exception to this is using 'return' without a value, which returns control to the caller of the method.
    Observe:
    //this method returns an int
    public int return_int(){
        int value = 5;
        return value;
    //this method does not return an int
    public void return_nothing(){
        int another_value = 123;
        System.out.println("Here's the value: " + return_int());
    //this method does not return anything
    public void nothing_returned(){
        return_nothing();
        return;
        System.out.println("This line never gets printed; the method returned control already!");
    }

  • I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

    I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

    Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
    If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
    Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
    If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
    Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

  • Pls tell me difference between case and decode

    Hi all
    pls tell me difference between case and decode
    regards

    Well not entirely true when you consider working with
    sign and decode together. Your example could be
    written with decode and sign like this:
    decode(sign(sal-1000),1,sal+comm,-1,sal,0)But the case expression reads more easily, I admit.Rob it was just example you considered it special case ,BTW can you do it for me by DECODE function.

  • What is the difference between ALE and EDI

    Hi,
    Can any one please explain what is the difference between ALE and EDI ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ramana

    Hi Ramana
    ALE: used to trnasfer IDOC with in the R3distributed system.
    EDI: used to transfer IDOC from R3system to nonsap system
    IDOCS:
    IDOCS are intermediary documents which are like CARRIERS of the data
    IDOCs are safe to transfer data, but less volume of data. User is not allowed to access (modify) the data like PSA. IDOCs have 3 parts.
    1. Control Record - SOURCE & TARGET details,
    EDI
    EDI concept in SD: the EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronical documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE
    are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to
    deliver data to the receiving system.
