I just received Apple’s new Airport Extreme Base Station today. I wanted to get one to replace my Linksys router for two reasons:

1. the Linksys has a habit of flaking out on occasion…usually while I’m playing an online game and it just disconnects me
2. and the new base station has a USB port to enable you to plug an external drive into it and all the network users can then access the drive without having to have a computer on

The setup so far was pretty easy. I’ll have a more indepth review this weekend once I’ve had a chance to put it through it’s paces.
