Hi Don, the Airport Express has a headphone/speaker jack, much as you'd find on the iPhone or many similar devices, on the back of it. Airport Extreme does not. That's one immediate and easily identifiable physical difference that comes to mind. I am fairly sure the Extreme has more Ethernet ports on it too. One technical difference that will be important if you have newer equipment is that the Express has not been updated to support 802.11AC Wi-Fi, where as the latest version of the Extreme supports it. Google will turn up even more info I'm sure. They are both nice products to maintain and configure thanks to the accessible Airport Utility.
