AirPort Express with AirTunes... coooooool...

Yeah, Mac fan in the body of a .NET developer, sure, but Apple keeps making some really cool stuff.

AirPort Express with AirTunes

This solves two problems for me in the same place. First, it extends my network to the Xbox, so I can finally DDR on Xbox live. Second, it pipes audio from my PC up in the office down to the same rack that contains the Xbox.

Very cool!

  • How does it extend the network to the Xbox? The only ethernet jack is for input from your cable modem/DSL router.

  • Or any router... it doesn't care.

  • i just want to connect my xbox live with my airport network with my sbc dsl connection. any router recommendations?

  • OK, you are top on the google search for "airport express xbox"

    does the xbox manage to network using the airport express ethernet connection?

    I cant find anyone saying this does actually work (though a few think it may)

    does it work??

  • looking on the web, i have found a macworld editorial that discusses the capabilites of the airport express. It can act as an ethernet bridge, but only when connecting to an airport extreme or express based network.

    The bridging functions are not part of the IEEE standards, and are therefore different for each manufacturer.
