Abstract: We never understood why Apple, a computer manufacturer, wanted to get into the Wi-Fi business in the first place. Unless it was because the Mac needed special treatment in a wireless network environment. After all, HP, Lenovo et al are content to leave...
Abstract: It offers the option of setting access times if you don want your kids to use the Internet while they should be doing homework, and even lets you pick which band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) to use. When using the 2.4GHz band, any B- or G-equipped device can connect...
Abstract: Moving to California has caused me some interesting issues when setting up my wireless network. Previously, in Portland, we had no issues with our router and wireless network. However, in our new home, we are competing with at least a dozen wireles...

Abstract: Apples revised AirPort Extreme, introduced at Macworld Expo in January, offers several new features and significant improvements in wireless networking speed and reliability. Whether it is worth the upgrade price to move on up to the new 802.11n wire...
Abstract: Apple AirPort Extreme Base StationCompany: AppleQuietly introduced at Macworld Expo in January, Apples new AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n is a big leap forward but leaves a couple things behind. I was able to borrow one for review courtesy...
Most elegant router ever; nice feature improvements over previous model; fast, easy setup; software for both Macs and Windows PCs
Comparatively expensive; like all current 802.11n equipment, mixed mode doesnt deliver top performance; must reboot for changed settings to take effect

Dual-band support; IPv6 support; USB port allows easy networking of a USB printer or hard drive; supports WDS; WPA2 security; slick design.
No Gigabit Ethernet; Mac users on operating systems older than Mac OS X v.10.4.x are out of luck; offers only three LAN ports (most routers offer four); phone support is limited to 90 days; slower throughput than promised by 802.11n spec.
The Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station is a solid router that keeps up with the Draft N competition. Unfortunately, weve yet to test a Draft N router that lives up to the promise of 802.11n. As with the rest of the .11n routers weve tested, we advise...
Very fast dual-band throughput, USB port for disk sharing, Very easy to configure
No Gigabit Ethernet, Some Mac-only features
