Reviews of the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (draft 802.11n)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Dual-band support; IPv6 support; USB port allows easy networking of a USB printer or hard drive; supports WDS; WPA2 security; slick design.
The Bad: No Gigabit Ethernet; Mac users on operating systems older than Mac OS X v.10.4.x are out of luck; offers only three LAN ports (most routers offer four); phone support is limited to 90 days; slower throughput than promised by 802.11n spec.
The Bottom Line: The Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station is a solid router that keeps up with the Draft N competition. Unfortunately, we've yet to test a Draft N router that lives up to the promise of 802.11n. As with the rest of the .11n routers we've tested, we advise you postpone your purchase until the spec is finalized.
