Product DescriptionAirPort 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 (you can choose to connect either a directional or an omnidirectional antenna).

Apple makes cool stuff, no doubt about it. But one of their coolest products is the Airport Extreme system of wireless internet.
Using the Airport Extreme Base Station, in addition to an Airport Extreme reception card in your computer, you can move all around your home or office without the messy clutter of ethernet cables or connection equipment.
Setup is a snap using the included instructions. Within minutes you'll be surfing the web and accessing data wirelessly.

Apple Airport Base Stations are often than twice the price of equivalent devices from other manufacturers. The features of the Apple product do not justify such a huge disparity in price. You're just paying for the brand ... Read More

The wireless revolution has seriously altered the way I work. It didn't seem like it was that big of a deal, to be able to work anywhere in the house on a laptop. And then I was home over Thanksgiving and tried my father's - it was incredible. So, soon after I had my own and I love it - I even ended up getting another one for my wife's laptop.

Rating: - Easy Set Up; Looks Good; Needs to be Reset From Time to Time
The airport base station looks cool and was very easy to set up. It sends out a strong signal. The only downside is that from time to time it stops working and I need to unplug it and plug it back in again and then all is well. I have to do this once a week or once every two weeks. This is a weakness but I am still glad I have it.
