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...
Apple has taken a seemingly minor upgrade of the AirPort Extreme Base Station and made it into a major improvement. Owners of the first model of the 802.11n Base Station who need speed may be slightly chagrined at how far Apple has boosted performance...

Significantly faster for file transfers, 5GHz frequency reduces interference, simple to set up, easy to share a printer, use as a network drive
Lack of dual-channel support on 5GHz frequency in UK, still in draft status, no real competitor yet to compare it with Min specs: Mac OS X 10.4.8, Ethernet and AirPort connection, Core 2 Duo-based Mac for 802.11 n functionality (excluding 1.83GHz iMac)

Abstract: a predictably unusual wireless router: The Apple AirPort Extreme is just about as different from your typical wireless router as it is possible to imagine. On the visual side of things there arent any external aerials to sully the clean lines ...

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
We dont recommend it for those with lots of older wireless equipment, but if youre exclusively Mac or have newer Mac and Windows computers and devices sharing a network, consider the AirPort Extreme. ...
