Extremely Awesome

byAndyman Aug 3, 2007
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

The Home Server Breakthrough Hidden Behind iPhone

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.

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast. Easy set up. Silmultanious dual broadcast frequencies.
Cons Cost but compared to the competitor's constant issues, well worth the extra.
Recommended it? Yes

After using several Linksys wireless routers (WRT310N, WRT320N, etc.) for two PDAs, three PC laptops, a MAC laptop and iMac with our home network, we became so frustrated with entering codes, dropped connections, rebooting the entire system that we decided to spring for the extra dollars...

Pros Looks great.
Cons Not user friendly.Awful reception.Very short signal.
Recommended it? No

I love Apple and all their products. That's why I was so heart broken when I replaced this device several times at Best Buy and none of the Apple airport extreme routers I bought seemed to work properly.
