Hi everyone,
I know that I'm not at the best place to ask this question but I didn't found AirPort Extreme and express ... So I would like to know what is the range in meter of the AirPort Extreme and the express ! Thank you ;)
A precise answer is impossible, since a number of variables affect wireless installations. At one time long ago, Apple used to publish range specifications. They no longer do, for this very reason.
Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions.
... this itself is odd, since it implies that they at least provide an estimate of range, which they do not.
In ideal conditions with no interference, intervening objects, or competing wireless networks, you can expect a maximum range of about 100m. The presence of any of these sources of interference will reduce this range. If you live in an area with many other wireless networks, or your AirPort is behind several brick or stone walls, you may only get 15 - 20 m, perhaps even less.
The only way to determine its actual range is to use one.

Thank you... I have another question for you , I would use it to expend my Internet connexion . So if I plug it in my bed room( where the Internet connexion is relay bad about one bar and sometimes 2 ) will it make the signal more stronger ? And another question ... My stop bus is about 50-60 m of my house and if I plug it in my bedroom it will only have one windows to cross so will it works ! Thank you ;)
There are two ways to "extend" the range of your AirPort network - a "wirelessly extended" network, and a "roaming" network.
Roaming is better.
Read about each of them here:
Wi-Fi base stations: Setting up and configuring an extended wireless network (802.11n)
Wi-Fi base stations: Setting up and configuring a roaming network (802.11 a/b/g/n)
You might get a usable signal from your bedroom window. Place the Extreme or Express right on the window sill, within sight of your bus stop.
So I can only buy an express and I will Reveive a signal at my bus top ???? Or I should buy an extreme ...
Buy the Express.
Do not buy an Extreme thinking it will give you more range than an Express. The transmitter power is identical for both.
Ok at the beginning I wanted to buy the express but when I had the idea of have a connexion at my bus stop I thought that it will give me more stronger signal ! But if you tell me that its about the same I will go for the express ... Thank you ! ( I'm gonna buy it as soon as possible ;) ) thanks
Do I need to have a time capsule or a regular wi-fi (non-apple) works .. For connecting airport express
If you want to create an extended network then you must use only Apple AirPort base stations.
So I can't expend my non-apple wi-fi??
Whit an Apple AirPort express ...

No! Only Apple AirPort base stations can take advantage of Apple's "extend" feature.

Wi–Fi base station - Any variety of AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Express, or Time Capsule.
The only way to "extend the range" of a non-Apple base station by using an Apple base station is to create a "roaming network".
Chit sorry ! ;)
What is the range in meter of the airport êxtreme and express
