Pros: easy of setup/speed Cons: a little more than others
Reviews & Ratings for AirPort Extreme Base Station, Gigabit Ethernet The setup of the airport is one of the easiest I have managed. After running routers from other mfg's I can clearly say the apple airport lives up to it's name. The performance gain on my wireless speed was tremendous. on a good day before I ran 36mb, now I typically exceed 100mb, plus the ease of setup for WPA encryption is amazing as that is the most secure out there currently. I highly recommed using this in Apple/windows environments.

Pros: wonderful tech support if needed and easy to set u, great range Cons: a bit pricier than the others but worth it
Reviews & Ratings for AirPort Extreme Base Station, Gigabit Ethernet I recently purchased this Extreme Base Station to replace an 5 yr old Lynks that would not let more that 1-2 people surf at the same time. This base was not too difficult to set up and works wonderful. We are running one Mac and 5 PCs on this base and no one has been ditched off. Highly recommend over the other brands no matter the make of your computer. Tried and returned to another store one of the other brands. Apple has wonderful tech support to back the product and at convenient times.

Reviews & Ratings for AirPort Extreme Base Station, Gigabit Ethernet Set-up was so easy that the Airport practically did it all by itself. All I did was connect the cords.

Reviews & Ratings for AirPort Extreme Base Station, Gigabit Ethernet I think this is the best you can do unless you want to spend megabucks for Cisco. This works well for a small business with plenty of antenna power and speed. plugged in a not a single problem since.

Pros: signal strngth, easy set up Cons: price
Reviews & Ratings for AirPort Extreme Base Station, Gigabit Ethernet The Mac Airport Extreme was higher priced than some comparable models but performs as advertised and exceeds my expectations. The set up was easy for both a mac and a pc onthe same network. The signal strength and connections speeds are both greater than the Belkin network this replaces. The colored flashing lights do not match up with the directions, but does not seem to be a problem. Excellent product.
