Airport Express part numbers

How can I find out specs by Apple model number / part number for AirPort Express, especially 802.11N versus older 802.11 B/G?

Where do I look for Apple's model # and Part numbers?

I just bought an AExp touted as 802.11 N but I think it's the B/G standard. Product info sez A1084 with s/n HS433KJQQV0. What is it?

Thanks for any help.

Check out Apple Support Technical Specifications.

Pretty sure it is a 802.11g. But more importantly, you might want to take a look at the link below. From your model and serial number, yours might be one of the ones they are talking about.

More specifically from my last post, within the Apple Support Technical Specifications you can enter the serial number of the AirPort and it will pull up the appropriate information about the device. Here's the link for the AirPorts: http://support.apple.com/specs/#peripherals

Hi:

When I enter the serial number (s/n) for my AirPort Express 802.11n
into Apple's Tech Suport web page Sarech box, it does not return
anything relate to an AE... Any idea why not ?

I have tried enetering the s/n with and without the s/n qualifier.

Thanx

Hi DaleB,

Hmm, I just gave it a go with a couple of my AirPorts and ended up with the same results that you did. However, entering serial numbers for my Macs -- worked. It's possible that the "recently" changed Specifications area does not include the AirPorts in their serial number searches.
