Review: Replaced a BT Voyager with the Airport Extreme on a mixed home network of work PCs and home Apples. Set up took about 5 minutes and was completely painless. Its faster but best of all the range is much much better. The PCs on the home network use to drop in and out of range but now show full signal strength all the time. Connected a large USB drive to it for backups which is very useful. Brilliant product and proof that geeky gear can perform well AND look great.
Pros: Fast, easy to set up and looks great. What's not to like !
Cons: Errrmmm,,,,,,, can't think of anything. Oh, a built in modem would make it perfect.
