About 802.11n
Blazing performance - Based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification, AirPort
Extreme features three antennas and uses a technology called multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) to transmit multiple data streams simultaneously. The
result? AirPort Extreme delivers data transfer speeds up to five times those of
previous-generation 802.11g wireless networks - while achieving up to twice
the range.1 And with its support for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
wireless frequencies, AirPort Extreme reduces the possibility of interference
from appliances and cordless phones that use the 2.4GHz frequency.
The Airport Extreme Base Station also works with 802.11a/b/g. Most currently shipping Mac systems support the next-generation 802.11n technology in the new AirPort Extreme Base Station.2 And AirPort Extreme is compatible with Macs and PCs using previous-generation 802.11a/b/g wireless technologies.
Product Highlights
Sharing Features
Networking is all about sharing, and AirPort Extreme lets as many as 50 users in your home, school, or office join the fun. They can all share the same Internet connection, exchange files with the file-sharing capability built into Mac OS X or Windows, access local and remote file servers, annihilate the competition in multiplayer games — anything a typical network user can do, plus a number of things that are decidedly not typical, such as wireless storage and printing.
Instant drive sharing. New to AirPort Extreme, AirPort Disk turns almost any external USB hard drive into a shared drive. Simply connect the drive to the USB port on the back of your AirPort Extreme and - voila - all the documents, videos, photos, and other files on the drive instantly become available to anyone on the secure network, Mac and PC alike. It’s perfect for backups, collaborative projects, and more. A simple-to-use AirPort Disk Utility gives you more setup options. You could set the disk to become available whenever you connect to the network. You could set up password-protected accounts for everybody on the network, or allow read-only access to certain files and folders. The choice is yours.
Print without wires. The same USB port does double duty by letting you share a printer throughout the network. When it’s time to print those photos, proposals, or homework assignments, AirPort Extreme and the Mac- and PC-compatible Bonjour networking technology let everyone in the house, office, or classroom take advantage of one centrally available printer. Wirelessly, of course. And here’s how simple it is to set up: Just plug the printer into the USB port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station, add it to the printer list on your Mac or PC, and you’re good to print.
Do everything. What if you’d like to exchange files over your wireless network and still have access to a network printer? Easy. Just connect a USB hub to AirPort Extreme and attach your devices to the hub. Share both a printer and a hard drive, multiple printers, or multiple hard drives.
Effortless wireless
Whether you use a Mac or PC, the whole network can be ready to go in about five minutes. And if you want to do more such as add a shared USB printer or external hard drive or set up access control - it’s just as easy.
Home Security System
The AirPort Extreme Base Station takes strong measures to keep your online
world as safe as possible - from securing your base station to preventing
outside intruders to controlling when your kids surf the Web.
Worry-free networking.
It starts with the industry-standard
encryption technologies built into AirPort Extreme, including WPA/WPA2 and
128-bit WEP. When you turn on encryption - easy to do using AirPort Utility -
you’ll ensure that only people with the correct password can join your
wireless network.
Parent easy, kid safe. A useful new access control feature lets you decide not only who accesses your network but also when they can access it. If you’ve got kids with their own computers, for example, you can control the times they’re allowed to access the network. They can have accounts that are available only at certain hours of the day - for example, when you can be home to keep an eye on them.
Barring the network door. AirPort Extreme includes a built-in firewall that creates a barrier between your network and the Internet, protecting your data from malicious Internet attacks. When you set up the base station, the firewall is automatically turned on to keep the bad guys out. For computers with a cable or DSL modem, using AirPort is actually safer than being directly connected to the modem.

1 Based on a comparison with Apple's 802.11g products. Comparison assumes AirPort Extreme network with 802.11n-enabled computer. Speed and range will be less if an 802.11a/b/g product joins the network. Accessing the wireless network requires an AirPort- or AirPort Extreme-enabled computer or other Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a/b/g-enabled computer. Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions.
2 All Mac computers with Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Xeon processors except the 17-inch iMac with 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor support the 802.11n technology in AirPort Extreme. These 802.11n-compatible Mac systems require enabler software that is included on the AirPort Extreme CD. - Apple - -Apple - Buy Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station (Gigabit) MB053LL/A - Cheapsoftwareprice.com.
