Macbook and Airport Express
I have just bought the New Macbook 2.0ghz and have a question about wireless networking.
I have an NTL Cable Modem currently but want to go wireless.
Am i right in thinking all i need is An airport express device to plug the modem into and stream all over the house?
Sorry if the question seems abit stupid, its just that there are two types of Airport station (Express and Extreme)
And i want to make sure i get the correct one (although i don't think it matters)
Thanks in advance

Express may well do it for you, as you could plug the ethernet cable from the modem into the express. This would mean that you can't have any other wired connections, unless you plug the express into a hub.
I have an extreme and in my previous setup my cable modem fed into the extreme, and then out into a 4-port hub, from where I had my xbox connected. This allowed me to have the extreme setup as a DHCP server so I could have however many wired or wireless clients I wanted.

the only real difference between the two is the price!
Yea the extreme does have a bigger range and can connect more devices to it but unless you have a massive house then the express is fine
