Apple Airport Extreme Router —

I've used wireless routers from Cisco (Aironet), Linksys, and D-Link over the years, and the Apple Airport Extreme is the best by far. I have the early version without gigabit ports, but it still works great on my home network.

The router was very easy to install and I was up and running very quickly. I bought this router while on an extended business trip and originally had it configured as the only router on the network. I now have it integrated with my home network with a LInksys wireless router and a mix of Mac and PC computers, with no problems.

The only problem I've ever had was after upgrading to Leopard. But a quick trip to the Apple Support forum and a reset of the Airport Extreme soon fixed that problem.
