Easy wireless networking
Connect your DSL or cable modem to the
AirPort Extreme Base Station, then quickly set it up with the
easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is available for both Mac OS X and
Windows. Within minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Macs or
PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos, and more — without
wires.
Up to 5x the performance, 2x the range
AirPort
Extreme uses next-generation 802.11n wireless technology3 and features
multiple antennas to deliver maximum speed and range throughout your
home, classroom, or small office. You can enjoy up to five times the
performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.
Print without wires
Have
several computers in your home or office but only one printer? No
problem. Just connect a printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
Base Station and the printer instantly becomes available to all
computers (Mac and Windows) on your wireless or wired network. (See
system requirements.)
Share your hard drive
Now you can
share an external USB hard drive over your wireless and wired network
by simply connecting it to the USB port on your AirPort Extreme Base
Station. Called AirPort Disk, it's perfect for sharing files, making
backups, and more. You can even connect multiple drives and printers
using a USB hub (sold separately). And it works with both Mac and
Windows. (See system requirements.)
Strong security and access control
Rest
easy — AirPort Extreme takes strong measures to prevent unauthorized
intrusion into your wireless network. It offers a built-in firewall and
supports industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2
and 128-bit WEP. Yet it's still easy for authorized users to connect to
it, thanks to its simple setup utility and powerful access controls.
Works with iPhone, Apple TV and more
AirPort
Extreme works flawlessly with iPhone and Apple TV. It's compatible with
802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless clients. And because it's dual-band, you can
set it up to work on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band, reducing the
chance of radio interference. The AirPort Extreme Base Station is Wi-Fi
Certified for 802.11n draft 2.0.
