With Bradley best of the best I have an iMac G5, a Nintendo Wii, an AirPort Express, a Nintendo DS, a HP printer and an Xbox 360 and this thing works perfectly with them all. I can not speak for the Windows-based PCs, AirPort Extreme is a breeze to install on a Mac, the new airport layout makes the most of the work for you and everything you need to do is click when you say about . So simple a caveman could ... Well, you know. * A note: if you install, says it works, but not yet on the Internet, and then reboot the box the cable company and when you are back on and running. That has not happened to me, but it happened to my friend. I thought I would pass the word. 61 out of 64 people found this review helpful. Excellent wireless router .. Big Bear First, I comment on another statement auditors that the airport does not work with XP SP2. I set it up wirelessly to my wife that Dell has XP SP2 on it and have no problems, setup was easy, and as with most Apple products, it guides you through the process and I had their computers and running within 10 minutes. If you have a (PC) printer must use the airport, it includes the Bonjour software, you will go through the set up process for a PC and a further 10 minutes, it was pressure from the airport as well. If you have a Mac, it's even easier. The data throughput is unusual and I've never had a problem with a weak link. The area is also quite impressive, as my wife sometimes would go on deck (located on the second floor on the opposite side of the house) and have never had a problem. I recently switched to this router after applying a second "n" router, and had a few problems with it. The airport is the type of device that Microsoft has never mastered ... a true plug and play unit. 44 of 45 people found this review helpful One of the best, if not the best pre-N router available today e-Health I have used many wireless routers (Linksys, D-Link, SMC, Netgear, Siemens .. .) over the years, since the early days of 802.11b, but this is my first experience with an Apple router (second, really: I just replaced my first generation Airport Extreme router with a Gigabit switch that has a place 100BT the original, if not an update of the review I posted for the original model) is not necessary to comment on the quality of manufacturing, design and packaging: in typical Apple style, they are miles ahead of the competition. For example, unlike all the other routers I've ever used comes with one 110V power supply, the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS for short) has a universal power over the world with a standard power cord. Performancewise, is exceptional. I've been trying in recent days and hardly breaking a sweat in situations where my previous router (Linksys WRT54G and Netgear WGN824) progressively slower, or just normal shock and require a restart coverage is excellent, better than my WGN824 since is quite impressive. Apple has traditionally done things differently, and shows once again: unlike most routers, which are managed by access to a built-in web server, this router can be configured only through the "Airport Utility" program configuration. The CD contains a Mac OS X and Windows version of the utility (I can already hear the groans of the Linux geeks). The utility is very simple to use, although I have not tried to use more advanced features like creating another router like the Airport Express as a range extender. One problem you may encounter is the lack of support for "old" devices, despite the AEBS offers a compatibility mode with WEP devices called "WEP (Transitional)" that allows both WEP and WPA coexist, this imposes restrictions on how
