Im thinking about buying an AirPort Express from Apple as I want to set up a home wireless. I have some questions and help regarding whether I should buy it or not.
1. What's the range? Like how many feet?
2. If I have USB(Sprint... >.<) internet would I still be able to create a wireless network?
3. Would it work with my Hac? I know it says Mac or PC but Im just making sure before I blow away $100 lol.

Cisco makes way better routers than Apple.
I don't know the price, but I would assume it would be in the range of an Airport Express if not cheaper. I'm honestly not sure if there are routers that use USB internet. If you use a driver from Sprint on your Mac, then no, it wouldn't work. Your best bet is to call them and ask if they have anything that they can give you with an ethernet cable.
