Reviews of the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (Winter 2009)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast throughput; easy to use; true dual-band; guest networking; printer and network storage support; aesthetically pleasing design.
The Bad: Limited networking features; picky support for USB external hard drive; only three Ethernet ports; no Web interface; no remote access for Windows users; supports only 50 clients; only OS X 10.4 or later can access storage feature.
The Bottom Line: The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking, and works well for their homes. Savvy Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their bucks.
