Apple AirPort Extreme base station wireless access point
Excellent performance in an 802.11g-only network at close range ; attractive design ; solid security ; allows network bridging
Performance drops in mixed-mode (802.11b and 802.11g) environment ; has a short range ; weak tech support ; only two Ethernet ports ; doesn't include an Ethernet cable
The AirPort Extreme performs well in a close-knit 802.11g network, but it's not fast enough in mixed mode to warrant upgrading.

Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n

Simultaneous dual-band operation. Guest-network capability. Can extend wireless range. Performs well at long distances. Printer, hard-drive sharing
Inadequate firewall. Only three LAN ports. Inconvenient LAN link-status lights
This is a solid wireless router for all-Mac and mixed Windows/Mac networks. But if you run all Windows (or any flavor of Linux), you can get better features for less money.

Review: AirPort Extreme Base Station
The 2009 version of the AirPort Extreme Base Station packs in a ton of features, as well as speed, into a small, reasonably priced package. If you’re looking to replace your current Wi-Fi router, you can’t go wrong with the AirPort Extreme. If you ...
Setup is dead simple ; good range and coverage ; simultaneous dual-band ensures all devices get the fastest connection possible ; works with latest versions of Windows ; backward compatible with any Wi-Fi device
Only three switched Ethernet ports ; external power adaptor adds bulk
There are two different kinds of newness in the Airport Extreme: firmware (software) and hardware. On the firmware front, Apple has added the ability to connect over the Internet to any drive plugged into the USB port on the back of the AirPort ...
We discovered one disappointment that’s indirectly related to the new router...
