セットアップは超簡単です。電源ポートに差し込みLANケーブルを接続。付属のユーティリティーソフトをインストールして立上げ、あとは画面の指示に従うだけ。あんまり簡単なんで拍子抜けです。
やっぱり、無線LANは良いです。電波が届く限りどこでもインターネットができます。E61も快調。改めてE61の使い勝手の良さに気付きました。また、JBLのDuetをAirMac Expressに接続しています。iTunes経由で音楽を聴いていますが音質も問題なし。PowerBookの置き場所に関わらず、スピーカーを置けるのは便利ですね。デジタルケーブルで繋いで、AIFFで読み込むと更に音が良くなりそうです。
This is Airport Express, Apple made small network base station. Airport express is called “AirMac Express” in Japan by the way. Anyway I bought it in Jakarta, Indo to make a home wireless network in a hostel room in Indonesia because I’m using my PowerBook G4 at both a living room and bed room, I don’t want to fix a location of the PowerBook G4, more I like to use Nokia E61 Wi-Fi function under wireless network environment.
Set-up for Airport Express is unbelievably easy, just plug Airport Express into a socket, and connect a LAN cable, then install utility software to a computer and boot the program. I spent about 10 minutes for the installation.
I won’t be back to a wire connection environment. I can use the Internet at anywhere in my hostel room as far as the wave is reachable. I’m using speakers “JBL Duet” with Airport Express by iTunes. Good sound quality and no need to think about a location of PowerBook. I suppose it can be better sounds if using a digital cable with AIFF music files.
