Summary: Pricey but a good deal anyway.
Comment: This is definitely a high-end router... but it is worth every cent. Setup is ridiculously easy under both OSX and WinXP, signal strength is excellent and reaches quite far, and is very reliable. The unit's design is exactly what one should expect from Apple- simple, durable, and dependable. There aren't any antennae to be whacked and broken by somebody's elbow, and the one-piece rubber base keeps it from slipping off the table when somebody's foot catches the cord.
Routers are one of those things that just become invisible when they work properly; this one does exactly that.

Comment: I spent a highly unrewarding hour of my life trying to get the thing to work with my garden variety MacBook. I think I ran the utility set up program five times. Each time the computer and the AirPort recognized each other and each time I was unable to connect to my DSL. No amount of changing of settings helped. It would not even pass the DSL by ethernet to my desk top. So I went back to my $49.95 Linksys router which worked as well as it ever did. Apple used to have the reputation of being "Plug and Play". I suspect that they have forgotten that in their quest to have every feature and the fastest performance. I took it back today. The reviews I have read online seem to be either fabulous or terrible and I unfortunately am in the latter group. If I could give no stars, I would.

Summary: Great product
Comment: I'm technologically challenged, but set up was easy and more or less intuitive. The router works perfectly.

Summary: Excellent wireless router
Comment: It took me 2 minutes to set it up at home. I put the ISP IP addresses, named my network, set up WEP security and it was working. The range covers my house 600 m2 terrain. Speed is excellent, and wired 1Gbps Ethenet speeds up copying my Aperture Library (50GB) from my MacBook Pro to my iMac. Autovolt power supply is usefull allows it to be used in any country.

Comment: Great Router. I have a PC with gigabit ethernet. A MacBook Pro with wireless n. A FreeNAS server with gigabit. An 100mb switch, and behind it i have an xbox 360 wired (with open nat), and a windows xp pro laptop.
Connection is great. I get about 400mbps on gigabit over smb. I get anywhere from 128-216 mbps on wireless. That was measured with iStat Pro, and a 1GB .mp4 file over afp.
Setup is easy as pie. Took about 10 mins to setup. The installer (Airport Utility) walks you through it step by step.
Definitely better than my old linksys 802.11b router. Also well worth $179
