Re: Airport Express

Hi I have now had an Airport Express for 13 months and it is still going strong. One thing I have noticed though, is that if there has been any "disturbance" in the power supply I have to reset the unit before it will start broadcasting again. Otherwise I am happy with it, and would recomm
