[I feel a bit like Richard Dreyfus in "Close Encounters." I had just reviewed "The Maharishi Effect" and consequently had the domes of Vedic City, Iowa in mind, which in turn led me to the now unfashionable dome of the "old" Airport Extreme. Less preposterous, in any case, than playing with my mashed potatoes.]
Amazon is still listing this as a new and current product. Moreover, it's 50 bucks cheaper than the other Airport Extreme base station and has more as well as higher consumer ... Read More

Like all things Apple, this unit wis very well thought out and complete. A must for a Dial-up user.

For starters, you shouldn't even be looking at this old B/G WiFi. It was a decent choice a few years ago, but there are better options now. Maybe if you find a really cheap refurb unit.
WiFi N mode (and also A mode if possible) is the future. I love my Macs and my iPod, but AirPort is not cost-competitive. Apple's N router is $179, whereas Belkin F5D8233-4 N Wireless Router is half that price with nearly the same features (slightly slower wired ports).

Two months ago I purchased the new Airport Extreme Base Station which came out in early 2007. ..... IT IS GOING BACK IN THE BOX AND I AM GOING BACK TO THIS MODEL. ..... The new model constantly drops my Internet connection, whereas this model consistently works. ..... TRULY, A REAL KEEPER!

I struggled with a Linksys router which never worked, then a D-Link router that I had to reboot several times a day. Then I bought the Airport extreme. It took me longer to read the couple of paragraphs in the instruction manual than it did to set it up! I was up and running in ~10 minutes, it connects flawlessly, and pages load way quicker than the Duh-Link router.
Avoid a headache and buy this router first. Apple products rock.
