Apple's airport base station that supports the new faster 802.11n standard is similar to other things apple. Cool but not very useful and quite expensive. I bought it a few months ago mostly to be able to take backups on the usb hard-disk that it can supposedly share with other computers on the network and can be used for backups. I've tried to take backups several times and it has never finished. It dies after a few hours due to broken network connection. The disk works fine when connected directly to the mac. The performance is decent. The wep protocol for security is poorly implemented and confuses the hell out of my old tivo that thinks it is wpa. So, in order to connect my tivo -- I need to remove all security from my wireless connection -- which is of course a bummer.



I haven't tried sharing a printer yet but I don't have high hopes.



Another product that basically just disappoints.
