    Greeting all from Illinois USA,

    I just discovered what a wonderful device the Airport Express is. Not only does it have a “wired” connection for the uRad, it also has a USB which seems to provide enough power for the unit also.

    I’m currently running on a window sill, but given the fact the the Airport Express communicates wirelessly to its base, I will soon be able to relocate it. I think this is a great all-in-one solution.

    Pardon the Ficus leaves on the floor — too lazy to vacuum 🙂

    Where did you get the Airport Express from? How much does it cost?

    Looks like the perfect add-on for WLAN connectivity!

    The Apple Airport Express is available from Apple for about $99. I also have the Apple Airport Extreme as the base wi-fi station, so this little unit has no problem extending the wireless network. I have never attempted to connect the Airport Express to a wi-fi router other than Apple, so others may know if it works or not.

    I originally had these small devices to use a feature called AirPlay. They have an audio jack on them as well where you can hookup your stereo to them and stream music to various rooms of your house. This was the original purpose for the Airport Express.

    It looks like they work very well with the uRad so far (exploiting the Ethernet jack and the USB for power).
