JiWire's Quick Take
Likes
Has several unique features especially valuable to Mac users, including USB printer sharing, a built-in 56K modem that lets you phone home, an external antenna port, and AppleTalk support.
Dislikes
Extremely expensive, short on performance and firewall features, and lacks the usual 4-port Ethernet switch.
Good for
Mac users who need the secure dial-up modem support or other unique features.
Bad for
PC-only users and those who need top performance and range.

CNET "This router is capable and easy to use, but Dell's TM2300 offers more-advanced features and faster throughput."
MacAddict "We dig Extreme because it's cheaper and theoretically almost five times faster than regular AirPort. Even if 54 Mbps is still a pipe dream, brainless setup and 802.11b-compatibility spares AirPort Extreme our wrath."
