Digital camera reviews of Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station MB053LL/A [OLD VERSION]

Digital camera Review: 100% Flawless
Summary: 5 Stars

I owned a trouble-free D-Link wireless router for years but was ready for faster 802.11n speeds. I connected the Airport, inserted the DVD, ran through the setup on a Windows XP notebook, and presto - everything worked. I was EXTREMELY impressed to find that I could even connect my Brother multifunction to the USB port on the back of the Airport and print wirelessly. I still can't figure out how Apple pulled that off considering I never downloaded any drivers - it just seemed to happen magically.

For fastest speeds, use Airport Utility software to switch the radio mode to the 802.11n 5 Ghz frequency. You will lose backwards compatibility with 802.11g devices but for me that didn't matter (and I'm happpy to keep my connection invisible to neighbors!)

I am using the Airport with a ThinkPad T60 and a MacBook Pro, both of which connect flawlessly at speeds at least 4x faster than my previous 802.11g router allowed.

Overall, this is a 5-star product in a sleek and sim design. Highly recommended.
