Hi Dane, I don't remember whether you can use the physical Apple Remote control unit with the Airport Express, but can I ask why you would want to use this instead of using the Apple Remote app (on an iOS device), which can do so much more? With the Remote control unit you are restrict

Hi Dane, Yes, if you add these remote locations for your other speakers with the Airport Express, you can use the Apple Remote app on your iOS device to control the location where the sound gets directed to, and to play/pause, change tracks, etc. Cheers, Esther On 22 Jul 2013, at 11:54

Thanks for that, 1 other thing and correct me if I'm wrong, I think the Airport Express can be used with an Apple Remote control? For example, suppose you're streaming iTunes to your Airport Express and its connected to a speaker system, you can use the remote control with your Airpor

That's pretty much what they are yes, normally you'd plug 1 into a Modem or Router and the Airport Express would control the wireless distribution of your network. Each Airport Express has 2 Ethernet ports, a USB port for Printers and a 3.5MM Optical digital/analogue audio output

Hi Matthew, You're correct that the Airport Express will let you stream music content across your network, but the actual device is about the size and shape of a Mac power brick, and it only has a LAN port, a WAN port, and a USB port. The recent models are dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz).

Internet, you are only on your local network. Usually the address to a router is: 192.168.0.1 Or the last two numbers may be 1.1 2.1 1.2 There you can log in and make the changes to the old router, and maybe the airport express too, but you will need to plug into each one separately. HTH. Glenn
