Re: 802.11n Airport Extreme! - macphanatic - 01-09-2007 I can understand the WAN port being 10/100, but why wouldn't you make the LAN ports 10/100/1000? Re: 802.11n Airport Extreme! - Racer X - 01-09-2007 maybe the chipsets were 20 cents more per unit? Sometimes that is all it boils down to. Re: 802.11n Airport Extreme! - Zoidberg - 01-09-2007 Wow, how is it that this got zero announcement? Re: 802.11n Airport Extreme! - Racer X - 01-09-2007 It has USB hard drive sharing. It basically works as NAS I guess. And it will work with a hub, so what is the limit on # of attached drives? Re: 802.11n Airport Extreme! - mikebw - 01-10-2007 Yeah, the NAS thing is quite the feature actually. I don't really care too much about the 'n' speeds, I mean that's great and all, but this makes backing up anything on your network that much easier. You don't even have to have a computer to mount a drive. Now, any computer on the network can backup, even if it doesn't have USB or Firewire, or even ethernet. Of course you need at least 1 network connection, wireless or wired, but this is great.
