Great Router

Great product, USB printers and external hard drives work well across my entire network.

For all windows users... format your exteral USB drive to a mac file system (HFS+) using Transmac program. The Airport extreme does not allow transfer of files larger than 450MB under fat32 in a vista/xp enviroment. Under HFS+ filesystem the external drive will transfer data at 12MB/s, under FAT32 Windows users will see only 4-5 MB/s

Another fine Apple product

Nothing surprising here - the AirPort Extreme was easy to set up, sends a strong signal throughout my apartment, and works great on both my MacBook Pro and my girlfriend's Acer laptop PC.

Great Update from Older Airports, Speed and Signal Boost

I love the speed and range of this unit and it seems to work flawlessly. I also appreciate the fact that it has three ethernet ports (compared to one in the older airports) in case I want to wire the router directly to other computers.

The unit works flawlessly and is easy to set up with the included software except for one caveat: the wireless signal wasn't very strong at first until I switched the airport over as a bridge unit (serving my dsl router) during setup as opposed to being a freestanding router. That way it's working in synch with your dsl/cable router as opposed to projecting a competing signal. Now I get full bars in the airport indicator on my mac on the other side of the house.

I hooked up a usb hub (with a printer connected to it) and can send jobs to the printer from any computer in the house. If you connect a hard drive to the hub you can supposedly use it as a network server, but I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet.

AWESOME... MAC ROCKS!

I'm a MAC user for years now, and this one surprised me. Don't ask me why - I should expect this from MAC products, I know...

I setup a wireless network with my Intel iMac, wireless enabled pc laptop, and Nintendo Wii. The entire system worked flawlessly, and is lightning quick. In not even 30 minutes, the network was up and functional.

I did have to use WEP security, but that is only because the pc's wireless card is old. But the iMac and Wii hooked right up, with no problems.

The only beef I have is the price tag ... a bit steep. However, I had a Linksys wireless router before, and was such a pain in the neck to get just the Mac and pc on the same network. For all the countless hours I spent on their useless tech support, I am happy to pay extra for a product that works.

**BONUS** This device will be covered under your AppleCare extended warranty for no additional charge. Now THAT rocks!
