Technology is changing everyday....In this world of competition it is really hard to find a product that really fits your needs because every gadget seems to have everything in it but missing something. For example Linksys WRT610N is one of the top rated by CNET, but it doesn't have support for mac (Rumors are that it is going to release a mac support installation CD soon). Also, I see in some of the reviews that it has some problems associating with PS3. Is this true?.
Apple's new Airport Extreme seems to be packaed with great features....but is $179 worth to have a home wifi router (of course am not talking here about 5 Bedroom three storeyed houses...lets talk about the majority ..i.e approx 900 sqft homes or apartments). Airport extreme comes with N draft support, dual band support (2.4 G Hz and 5 G Hz), Guest access, and wifi sharing of usb printer or HDD. That's too much to ask for.....?
There are competitors like D-link Xtreme Dual N band Gigabit router and others which has almost similar features and good reviews and much lesser price ..approx $129. But I did not come across whether they support PS3 and XBOX seamlessly.
There seems to be always a minor risk associated with purchase of any product and it comes with a price....... :)
Here is the update. I have been using Airport Extreme for couple of months now and it is great. The only think I don't like about it is that I need to restart even if I make a small change..... but how often do we make change.... :)
