AirPort Extreme
AirPort Extreme is the new turbocharged version of the cuttingedge technology that lets you connect to the Internet without wires, additional phone lines, or complicated networking hardware—from just about anywhere in your home, school,
or office.1 AirPort Extreme uses the next generation of wireless technology, 802.11g, to deliver nearly five times more bandwidth.2
Key Features
Work and play at phenomenal speeds. Share large image files and enjoy multiplayer games at up to 54 Mbps—almost five times faster than the current standard—wirelessly.2
All together now. Share a single Internet connection simultaneously with up to 50 Mac and PC users.1 AirPort Extreme has ample bandwidth to go around.
Wireless printing. With the power of Mac OS X, all the users on your AirPort Extreme
network can print to a USB or Ethernet printer connected to the base station—and they can all do it wirelessly.3
Extremely compatible. Add Windows PC users to your AirPort Extreme network. The AirPort Extreme Base Station works with earlier AirPort Cards as well as other Wi-Fi certified 802.11b products—and so does the AirPort Extreme Card.4
AirPort security. Harness the strength of 128-bit encryption and firewall protection so reliable, you can even use it to safeguard the wired computers on your LAN.
Flexible wireless networking. Manage your wireless coverage area: Add external antennas to extend your range,5 use wireless bridging for base station to base station connections, or use the software Transmission Power Control to reduce the range of your network to a single room for added security.
