Product Description
With the new AirPort Extreme Base Station, you and up to 50 of your friends, colleagues or family members can enjoy a robust wireless network offering up to five times the performance and up to twice the range of networks created with the earlier 802.11g standard.1
Easy as a Mac.
Setting up a network should be as easy as setting up a Mac. And it is — if you’re using a new AirPort Extreme, which features a completely redesigned setup utility. Just take the AirPort Extreme out of the box. Plug it in. Install the software, and in five minutes or less, you’re good to go.
Now surf the web, chat, send email, or exchange photos. Print or access a shared hard drive — wirelessly. Set limits for when your kids can access the Internet. Secure your network with a firewall and strong encryption. Even use AirPort Extreme as the perfect companion to the new Apple TV.
Elegantly simple.
Just 165 mm square and 34 mm tall, the new AirPort Extreme features a simple, elegant design that will fit almost anywhere — your desk, a table, a bookshelf or any flat surface.
Superfast, super-compatible.
Featuring 802.11n next-generation wireless technology,2 the AirPort Extreme Base Station is supported at its highest performance levels by most shipping Mac computers and newer PCs with compatible wireless cards. And the AirPort Extreme is also compatible with previous Wi-Fi standards — which means the Wi-Fi–enabled systems you’re already using work seamlessly with the new base station.
