Digital camera reviews of Apple M8799LL/A AirPort Extreme Base Station with Modem and Antenna Port [OLD VERSION]Digital camera Review: 2.5 years of experience and a lower price unless you need 'n' this is it. Summary: 5 Stars
I've had one of these units for 2.5 years. It connects a G5 imac, a Windows 98SE and a Sony PlayStaion 2 to the internet. All at the same time, keeping all the balls in the air. The user interface is classic Apple, it just works. The airport has a built in firewall. I have not had a single attack on the unprotected Windows machine. Maybe luck, maybe a good firewall. This is the only device I know of that will allow you to set up a wireless network with dial-up, as it has a built in modem. I used that for a few months and it works very well. Now that the new airport is out, the price has come down on this unit. Unless you need the new 'n' type this is a good choice. The only down side is that I am forced to use WEP 128 bit security on the mac because the windows machine does not support anything more advanced. Another big plus is that the airport is not an eyesore. Neither does it look like it is trying to get on a starwars set. I've had no problems with range. The Windows machine is 50 feet from the airport with several walls and obsructions. Maintains 100% link quality most of the time.
