Last question on this thread from me. I'm also thinking about getting the new Apple AirPort Extreme wireless router. The list price is $179.00, which is about $100 more than some higher end 802.11g standard routers. If it's 5X faster, and has 2X the distance capability of a 802.11g router, it seems like a wise investment to me. What do you experts think?



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.LINK
