Airport Extreme Wireless Upgrade Kit
If there are two things wireless network users demand, it’s faster speeds and greater range. The new AirPort Extreme Base Station delivers on both fronts and offers superfast wireless network access throughout just about any home, office, or classroom.
Blazing performance.
Based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification, AirPort Extreme features three antennas and uses a technology called multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to transmit multiple data streams simultaneously. The result? AirPort Extreme delivers data transfer speeds up to five times those of previous-generation 802.11g wireless networks — while achieving up to twice the range.1 And with its support for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless frequencies, AirPort Extreme reduces the possibility of interference from appliances and cordless phones that use the 2.4GHz frequency.
Imagine the possibilities.
Access the web and email from just about anywhere in your office or house — even out in the backyard. Send large files to colleagues without being tied to a desk or worrying about slow connection speeds. Wirelessly share a printer with everyone in your family or on your office floor. Back up or store files to a hard drive wirelessly.
Also works with 802.11a/b/g.
Most currently shipping Mac systems support the next-generation 802.11n technology in the new AirPort Extreme Base Station.2 And AirPort Extreme is compatible with Macs and PCs using previous-generation 802.11a/b/g wireless technologies.
Compatibility:
-Interoperable with Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g Mac computers and Windows-based PCs
-NAT, DHCP, PPPoE, VPN Passthrough (IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP), DNS Proxy, SNMP.
