Continue reading →: Comparing Apple AirPort Express and Apple Time Capsule
“CNet”:http://reviews.cnet.com/wireless-access-points/apple-airport-express-base/4505-3265_7-32902549.html did a good comparison of the AirPort Express and the Apple Time Capsule. Net, net, the AirPort Express is a good travel router and is lower capacity than the Time Capsule. It is really for smaller networks (10 clients maximum), slower (no gigabit ethernet and no wide channel 802.11n)…

Continue reading →: Airport and Time Capsule remote logging
I don’t completely understand how logging works, but it is very Unix-like, every application can create its own text-based .log file.

Hey, I never thought of that. I’ve used a travel version of the Linksys, but “PC World”:http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,143515/article.html points out the AirPort Express makes a nice travel router since it is just essentially a wall wart. Also you can use it as a cheap way to get a 2.4GHz 802.11b/g network…
