Airport Extreme Base Station now with Gigabit Ethernet

And so for the avg everyday user, the difference between the 10/100 and gigabit is...

Note: I use my airport exclusively wirelessly, and I'd be surprised if I ever even hit the .11n speeds

Hey, all you people who aren't actually doing intranet transfers, there's no need to upgrade to the latest one, because your DSL or FIOS or cable won't get any faster.

And for the rest of you owners, have they worked out the remote disk bugs?

This makes me angry... I remember them saying "Gigabit isnt needed" blah blah blah bullshit.

"That's all good but how about adding a 2nd USB port for those of us who have BOTH a hard drive and a printer..."

Actually, just add a USB hub to the router - I have three hard drives and a printer working perfectly off a single USB hob on the airport extreme. . .

i just purchased a refurb that has not arrived yet....not sure what options are avail to me

I did not wait per se...802.11n was just not a compelling reason to replace my current 802.11g device. When I want to move large chunks of data I use a FireWire drive.

When my current 802.11g device dies I will take another look at the AirPort Extreme.

That's all good but how about adding a 2nd USB port for those of us who have BOTH a hard drive and a printer...

Are they accepting trade-ins from us "early adopters"?

Damit! I knew I should have waited.

@Sweetblue

New hardware, the gigabit switch is hardware based.

You know, this is the first time that Apple has updated stuff EXACTLY as i was about to purchase, it's a wonderful feeling.

Does anyone know if this is via a firmware update, or is it new hardware??
