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.

The Apple AirPort Extreme is meant to be a close cousin to the Apple TV, but it's an excellent router for Mac users who own an 802.11-enabled notebook. It's a smart, fast, and user-friendly wireless wonder.

The biggest advance with this latest Airport Extreme is the dual-band support. It's not a must-have for most users -- unless you have a mixed wireless environment and want the fastest Wi-Fi transfer speeds possible.

The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking, and works well for their homes. Savvy Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their bucks.

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.

As one would expect from an Apple product, this router is easy to configure and has a sleek, minimalistic, attractive design. This is a fitting router choice for those who need to provide connectivity to PCs and Apple devices.

If you want a router with 802.11n protocol that’s friendly to both Mac and PCs, is easy to set up and maintain, and operates at near-wired speeds, the AirPort Extreme is a great choice.

The AirPort Extreme is a cost-effective high-performance dual band draft 11n router that will work well in both a Mac and a PC environment. Despite its lack of simultaneous dual band operation and browser-based administration, it's definitely the way to go if you need dual-band draft 11n today.
