Interesting news but at least for Concorde's sake it's not a MBP upgrade. I would not be a happy bunny!

Not tried TBH.

I bought it for the Gigabit networking and the N 5GHz range.

The airport is amazing tho tbh. Setup SO easily. The BT Hub thing was a sodding nightmare.

Im got 8mb constant transfer so far using N... dunno if thats good or not? :confused:

Using the Gigabit connection it got about 30-40Mb/sec.

Deffo worth it.

Bloody pleased with it all

Is the airport just an Apple branded router? Any Mac-specific goodies?

Megabits or Megabytes? I hope you don't mean Mb.

Not really, it's just easy to set up and shares printers and USB mass storage devices, pretty expensive for what it is in my opinion. I use a WG102 which lets me setup several SSIDs with different security levels, so I can have a WEP-level wireless network which only gives devices on it access to a specific port on the WAN - no LAN access, so I can be relatively secure when using WEP only devices (as opposed to running the whole network as WEP).

Obviously that's aimed at a different crowd to the AirPort though.

FreeStream · 30 Oct 2007 at 09:54

Megabytes, always get confused over that

What is the best encryption to use? I want to turn it off and just let my MBP access it on the N 5 GHz band.

Any ideas?

Captain-Fungi · 30 Oct 2007 at 12:00

WPA2 is best to use and if you dont have that use WPA.

My Apiotek eSATA 300 card just arrived from HK.

And, I've managed to get 50mb SUSTAINED transfers from my MBP HD to both my 200GB 7K200 and 500Gb MyBook ES.

All for £25.

Love it.
