Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (M8799LL/A) 802.11b/g Wireless A...

AirPort Extreme consists of two components: the AirPort Extreme Card and the AirPort Extreme Base Station. Together, they represent the future of wireless networking. You'll see how fast this technology really is when you use AirPort Extreme to network AirPort Extreme-enabled computers in your home or office. AirPort Extreme Base Station features a compatibility mode that automatically supports not just the AirPort Extreme Card (at data rates up to 54Mbps), but all 802.11b-compliant products (at data rates up to 11Mbps) - Mac or Windows - as its default setting. Previously, all AirPort Base Stations required a physical connection to the Internet. With wireless bridging, two or more AirPort Extreme Base Stations can be connected wirelessly, effectively increasing the range of your network. The AirPort Extreme Base Station also features an external antenna connector for extending your wireless connectivity beyond the 150-foot range of your built-in internal antennas

Ever since I first saw the "Watch The Skies" ad that Apple produced I have wanted to buy a Airport base station, but until recently I haven't had any need for one.
