5.0 out of five stars High performance WiFi (yes), my own cloud (cool), and easy setup (nice), July 26, 2011
By Cary Champlin (Seattle) See all my reviews () This review is from: Airport Extreme 802.11N (5TH GEN) (Personal Computers) though setup is fast, it’s the high performance 802.11n dual RF bands and the creation of my own cloud storage (HD on USB port) that makes the AirPort Extreme a best in class choice!

Setup:
After reading the other reviews, I knew this goed to be fast and easy. I started a pot of coffee thinking I could enjoy a cup while plugging in the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and configuring it. Here are the steps:

1. Attached an ethernet cable from the AEBS to my ISP connection. Plugged in the AC adapter and power cord. AEBS powered up. Position light flashed green for a second, glowed amber for some number of seconds, then flashed amber till the AEBS has been configured from a computer.

2. From my MacBook Pro (wireless access works good for this step), the airport utility app had launched and waited for me (otherwise, go to Applications\Utilities\AirPort Utility.App). Followed information that included typing in a router name and two passwords. The default AEBS configuration selects channels and RF bands automatically to optimize speed.

3. Plugged a spare hard drive (in my case: Mac OS expanded (Journaled) formatted one TB HD) into AC outlet and the USB port. Once the HD had started, it showed up as a MBP network drive device on ‘Finder’. I then produced a folder, moved a file, and read it back.

At this point, the coffee machine beeped to let me know my coffee was prepared. I was done before the coffee was prepared about three minutes from opening the box to being operational! Gotta luv it.

Basic Performance Testing:
Not about to let the coffee go to waste, I proceeded with many performance testing. I conducted many basic data throughput tests by transferring files from the MBP through the AEBS to the HD. This test arrangement kept my ISP download and upload data rates out of the equation. For the wired tests, the MBP has been connected to one of the three AEBS Gigabit ports.

Test one (a control test configuration between MBP and HD via USB on MBP):
Write to HD: 33.8 MBytes/sec
Read from HD: 34.3 MBytes/sec

Test two (wired data transfer)
From MBP to AEBS via Gigabit port, then from AEBS to HD via USB): 13.6 MBytes/sec
From HD to AEBS via USB, then from AEBS to MBP via Gigabit port): 18.3 MBytes/sec

Test three (wireless data move five GHz RF band)
From MBP to AEBS, then from AEBS to HD via USB): 7.8 MBytes/sec
From HD to AEBS via USB, then from AEBS to MBP): 12.6 MBytes/sec

Test four (range test, five GHz RF band between MBP and AEBS with a max capacity of 300 Mbits/sec):
three ft, devices in close proximity: 300 Mbits/sec
50 ft, indoors, no ext walls in path: 243 Mbits/sec
70 ft, outdoors, one ext wall in path: 144 Mbits/sec
80 ft, outdoors, one ext wall in path: 104 Mbits/sec

Default settings seem to offer high bit rate connections. Using ‘manual setup’ in Airport Utility.App, I tested some number of variations on the configuration without improving the rate/range for the 802.11n wireless offered by the default setting of the APBS. Reading data from the HD back through the AEBS to the MBP was generally faster than writing data to the HD. As well as ethernet into the data move path (Test two in comparison to Test 1) reduced data rates in half. As well as WiFi into the data move path (Test three in comparison to Test 2) reduced data rates to 2/3. Range test performance was good for distances inside 50 feet.

My own storage cloud:
Originally, I envisioned just using the HD (USB port on AEBS) as a network drive for a SVN (i.E., software variant control) repository in support of software development on my MBP. But, I realized that this drive is a common storage place for all my devices (MBP, iPad, iPhone, iTouch) that’s available wirelessly on my local WiFi. And with a VPN connection, from anywhere with WiFi access to the internet. Simply stated, I have my own cloud! We are not talking about a skimpy not many GB either, but a full TB of dedicated exclusive mine only cloud. Now, that is cool.

Why purchase the fifth generation AEBS:
High performance 802.11n wireless performance
Easy and fast setup
USB port for attaching a hard drive or printer
Capability to create my own AEBS WiFi storage cloud for all my devices
Guest access to ISP without access to other devices or attached USB device
Sleek clean stylish look

I am so totally happy with this buy.

5.0 out of five stars Best Router I used, July 6, 2011
By J. A. Reyes “JaRa76″ (NY, NY) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Airport Extreme 802.11N (5TH GEN) (Personal Computers) Just to be clear on this, I did attempt the Cisco E4200, which, according with people who knows about wireless networking, is the best wireless router out there but the range wasn’t as good as the Airport Extreme. I have a town house and the router needs to be in the basement, the E4200 signal did reach the second floor, but with more than two devices connected to the router, the signal dropped so much that was unusable. With the Airport Extreme, no problems at all, the signal is fast enough with two or more devices connected. An extra perk is that with the E4200 you may be able to use the USB port just for storage but not for a printer, but with the Airport Extreme, you may be able to connect an USB Hub and have a printer an a external Hard Drive connected simultaneously. This router is a keeper.

My setup: two iPads, two iPhones, one PC, three Macs.

5.0 out of five stars Simple & Painless, July 2, 2011
By Mister Murse See all my reviews () This review is from: Airport Extreme 802.11N (5TH GEN) (Personal Computers) I switched to this router from my old modem/wireless router in one and am happy. Installation of this router was simple and painless, with the Mac doing all the work, literally. Plugged it in and OS X recognized it and setup went without a hitch. I have also paired this with an external hard drive, and now I can use Time Machine to wirelessly create backups, which is perfect for any MacBook/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air holders who do not want to continuously plug in a hard drive to let backups; just set it up and Time Machine takes care of the rest! happy buyer.
