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 Less

Easy to use and works well within range. Better than the original AirPort!

Pros Potential speed and ease of use. AppleTalk compatible (important for Apples).
Cons Limited range compared to others, lack of ethernet ports.
Recommended it? Yes

The moment I found out that Apple had come out with an 802.11g capable AirPort Extreme, I knew I had to get it right away. I am a high school teacher who uses PowerPoint and the internet for many of my lessons but I teach in different classrooms, so portability is important for me. I've been... Read full review »

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. Recently I moved off to college and got high-speed internet to share with my roommates. I myself have two Macs, and my roommates each... Read full review »

Pros Great range, reliability, and speed.
Cons May lack some advanced features uber-geeks want.
Recommended it? Yes

Thus far, after about two weeks of use, this is the best wireless access point I've ever owned (I've tried 3 others over the years).

Wireless "N" is the newest generation of latest-and-greatest wifi, offering greater speeds and twice the range of the previous generation, wireless "G." I... Read full review »

Pros Compact, rational shape, nice footprint, supports printers, supports shared hard disks,...
Cons Software can be complicated to untangle if you have previous airport networks running.
Recommended it? Yes

Yes, the big news the day this product came out was the iPhone. iPhone, which is yet to be seen, and is not what these people have done for a living for the past 30 years. And yet, a bread and butter device- the lowly WiFi hub, was truly and remarkably transformed that day, and unless you were... Read full review »
