Airport Express (2012) or Extreme (2011)?
I bought the Airport Express today to use in a two floor house where everything's made of wood and most family members stay on the first floor.
During the summer we go in the backyard and play music while barbequing or swimming, but these are the settings where we'll most be using our internet connection.
I see that the Express (2012) has identical features to the Extreme (2011) in terms of network type, but how strong is one over the other in applications like I described? Will I be at an advantage using the internet in the living room or in my room (next to the computer room) if I have the Extreme?
What is the 'gigabit' port on the Extreme and why is that better than the Base1000 port on the Express?
And how fast is the hard drive connection on the Extreme? Is it enough to stream files?
Is it better to have the Airport Extreme for my purposes or will the Express do the job?
