Apple Airport Extreme Router Review

Airport Extreme router was easy to set up on my macBook Pro using the airport utility already on my laptop with OS 10.5.4 2.5 ghZ intel core 2 due, 2GB 667Mhz DDR2 sdram.

My only problem with the product is the weak signal. I cannot get a signal in the room directly under the unit (wood floors) and I cannot get a signal on the front porch - a distance of about 25 ft away. I get a strong signal at the door but once I go outside - nothing, even with the door wide open.

I am currently looking for some way to extend the range as my desk in in that room under the router and it is not a good thing to be without a connection.

On the plus side, the printing via HP deskjet 5500 was perfect and fast. set up was extra simple, same for my remote hard drive a 320GB USB drive.

When I can find a way to extend the signal it will be "extreme" at last.
