AirPort Extreme – Speed Demon?

Recently upgraded (?) to an Apple Airport ExUpdatetreme wireless router. I was noticing some performance problems with my last router. So I thought we would give this a try.

Setup was super-easy using the AirPort Utility on my MacBook. Even got the port forwarding working with little fuss so I can access things from outside and still have my web cams and other goodies.

UPDATE: 2/14/2010 –

Just added a disk drive to the AirPort Extreme.  Got a good buy on a 500Gb USB Drive (Western Digital) and hooked it into the USB port on the AirPort.  Voila!! The disk drive appeared on my MacBook Pro.  I formatted two partitions each of 250Gb.  Set one up for my TimeMachine backup on the MacBook Pro.  The other partition is a shared file store on my home network. Piece of cake.  And now I can stream movies and music directly fom my Apple AirPort network to my PlayStation 3 hooked up to the home entertainment center in my media room.  Sweet!! 

I highly recommend this setup.  Easy to configure, works great.

Have Fun!
