A minimal configuration for the Apple Airport Express
The Airport Express has proven to be of use in hotels around the world where Internet access is provided to rooms and WiFi service is restrictive (multiple accounts needed for notebook, iPad and Touch)
In addition A/P.E. has been found useful at client sites where wired access to LAN is provided - allowing the use of wireless devices on a non-wireless infrastructure.
The aim here is to configure the AirPort so that it was a close to "out of the box" as possible.
Wireless security was not necessary (but possible) for this instance. The AirPort (basestation) name was (had to be) changed to "New Airport" and was given the Capital Radio password.
Attempts were made to configure the device wirelessly but I had to resort to connecting the AP to my notebook via the Ethernet cable.
Firmware was updated to version 7.5.2......
