Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple AirPort Extreme Dual-band Base Station MB763LL/A [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Simply Flawless! Read Why Here ...
Summary: 5 Stars
* I purchased this New Apple SIM Router in late August 09. This particular Apple Router, the latest generation, has been quite an Improvement over their older generation router's. This was also a long-awaited Upgrade from our previous Linksys-G routers, which were quite reliable, but didn't have the latest features that we were looking for to match-up with our New Mac's. I also have an Airport Express that I use as my Travel Router.
* There was at least 3 very Important Features that we were looking for in the latest Generation of Routers, which were: (1) Uses the latest 802.11(n) wireless technology, (2) Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, and (3) had an Extended Wi-Fi coverage, for our business & large property footprint.
So we took our time to Research & look-up Consumer & Technical `Reviews", among various web sites, magazines and forums, including CNET, Amazon, CES and others.
* Compatible with the PS3, the Nintendo Wii, and all of our new Intel Mac's, with the latest 802.11(n) wireless technology , as well as a couple of Windoze Boxes. All `Firmware' Updates for our PS3 & Wii have been very fast and reliable.
* I have given this New SIM AEBS, a 5-Star rating based on our User experience so far, and because it has Performed Perfectly!
Pro's -
* Simultaneous dual-band (2.4GHz + 5.0GHz) support is the perfect Wireless Access Point (WAP) for home, or business. It offers fast, 802.11(n) Wi-Fi access for Mac computers, PCs, and Wi-Fi `devices' such my Nokia, an iPhone, two iPod touch's, and an Apple TV. It Just Simply Works Fantastically!
Solid - No ReBoots, 5x Reception, it's Transparent and produces Faster Speeds as verified by SpeedTest dot net.
* Easy wireless networking Set-Up - How?
Just connect your DSL or cable modem Ethernet cable to the "designated" Ethernet AEBS port. The easy-to-use CD with AirPort Utility (Mac and Windows) simply takes out the `set-up' hassle. It took me less than 8 minutes.
It took me longer to Mount & Attach the Airport `vertically', high up on the wall by using the clear cast Acrylic H-Squared Air Mount, which fits & works perfectly, btw.
By placing your AirPort Extreme up on a wall, you will both save desktop space and ensure Maximum Wireless Signal & Range.
* Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi - What this means is:
For maximum Range & Compatibility, AirPort Extreme works simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing all the devices on the network to use the most efficient band automatically. It uses the latest 802.11n wireless technology, so you can enjoy up to five times the Wi-Fi performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.
* Guest networking - How It works:
Since we operate several Vacation Rental properties in Hawaii, we set up a "Guest Only" Wi-Fi network with a separate password for our guests so this means that our guests can use our Wi-Fi Internet but can't access other parts of our private network, such as our computers, printers, and/or any attached hard drives.
* Wi-Fi - Wireless client access: Maximum Performance & capability with 802.11 a/b/g/n, also known as `Quad-Mode' now, working simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz & 5GHz bands, allowing all the devices on the network to use the most efficient band automatically.
- Our Router experiences + comparison's has been against a very reliable 6-year old Linksys WRT54G
Wireless-G Router, where the Wireless antenna went out one day. It had provided great Wi-Fi coverage Range up to about 75 ft radius, where we could get 2 to 3 signal bars. It was immediately replaced with a New Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router. The WRT310N model did not impress us at all, as it did not even perform nor did it out-perform our old WRT54G model.
RANGE - Before, about 75 feet Maximum; Now I'm picking up Signal's at 300 ft away!
That's CRAZY! I used iStumbler to compare our Neighborhood Networks, before I could only pick up 2 at the most, now I'm showing a Cool Baker's Dozen!
* Print without wires - Have not used the USB port for our Canon MX-860, because we are all using BlueTooth. We simply love BT ... it Rocks!
* Share your hard drive - We are planning to share an external USB hard drive over our wireless and wired networks, later this month. I will Update this part of the Review later.
Strong security and access controls - It offers a built-in firewall and supports industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP, to prevent unauthorized intrusion into your wireless network.
- The AirPort Utility (Mac & Windows) makes it dead simple to make any changes or tweaks to your Security or Performance Controls.
Con's -
* Does Not use `a Web-based Access Control', as most other Router Manufacturer's. Our Old Linksys Router was completely accessible from any PC AND use a third-party firmware, such as DD-WRT or Tomato, which worked well for creating `router setting tweaks', but only if your Router Model offered enough RAM and flash memory.
Point: Lacking this feature might be a deal-breaker for some people, but it hasn't been for us.
* I will Update this Review in 6 months, but so far it has performed flawlessly and it's the end of October 09. Stay Tuned.
