Apple's revised AirPort Extreme, introduced at Macworld Expo in
January, offers several new features and significant improvements in
wireless networking speed and reliability. Whether it is worth the
upgrade price to move on up to the new 802.11n wireless technology
depends upon the specific needs of potential buyers. Read all about it
in our 4-page in-depth review.
The most obvious advantage of the new AirPort Extreme over Apple's
previous models is support for the new 802.11n wireless networking
standard. Apple says the new standard offers five times the data
transfer speed and more than twice the range of devices using the
former standard.
The last time a new AirPort wireless standard appeared was 802.11g,
back in 2003. Apple assigned it the marketing name "AirPort Extreme"
to distinguish the faster new second generation wireless networking
standard from the earlier 802.11b technology that the company had been
simply calling "AirPort" since its introduction in 1999.
