Hello, all! I have what is probably a very stupid question, but my understanding of these things is extremely limited. I've tried reading product reviews, but none of them answer my question. So, here it goes. Can this airport extreme thingy be used as a modem as well, or is it just a router? It sounds nice, but I'm over all satisfied with the dsl modem/router combo I have. I'm just interested in finding out more about this airport extreme because it sounds so reliable, and even better than that, accessible. If it can't be used as a modem, though, I'll probably just stick with what I have; you know what they say: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. LOL! Anyway, any information you guys could provide would be extremely appreciated. Missy

I've had ours for 6 weeks or so, and I love it as well. Set up was easy. I wasn't sure about the connections on the rear of the unit, so I called an Apple store and asked if they'd look at one and tell me which was the ethernet port. We have a printer connected wirelessly. My plan is to connect an external hard drive to that USB port. I also like the airport utility. It is nice to be able to read the status of the unit.

It was $180. Setup was mostly easy, it was fully accessible, and I think our network is running faster than it did with the DLink, even when the DLink worked. It also has a USB port, so you can connect a printer to it and then access it on the network. I haven't set that up yet, so can't say much about how well that works.

I had a couple of glitches getting the Extreme up and running, but got it resolved with a call to tech support. And our network is not only stable once again, but seems noticeably faster. If anyone's contemplating an airport extreme, I give it a resounding thumbs up. Cheers, Donna -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
