By Rich Brown on 16 January 2008

Apple's hybrid 802.11n wireless router/networked hard drive offers some powerful data backup features for Mac owners, as well as Apple's typical pleasing design. Windows users and anyone who demands speed from their 802.11n network will be disappointed.

    I use this to backup 3 Mac systems, and I love the Time Machine application, as it automatically and wirelessly backups all systems every hour. I share files between all systems over wireless N, along with the internet and my MFC (Samsung SCX-4216F) which works perfectly (apparently not all printers work, but mine does!)

    I'm very happy with this unit, as it is easy to setup, use and just works! Combined with Time Machine, I get automated backup, a print server and full networking without having to perform any administration.

    Highly recommended, despite the price tag - I guess this is another example of you get what you pay for!

    • Good: Easy to setup and use including print server, wireless backup and file sharing
    • Bad: Runs a little hot, but a fair tradeoff for such a quiet unit

    Can they support Multifunction printers (scan and fax) or just basic printers?

    These look really good, i want to get one for my birthday but mine is in early feb and i hope these are out....a bit pricey as well, but i guess you also get a router as well...

    The NAS side of the current airport extreme is unreliable and slow. Lets how they get that worked out in this iteration

    Nice work. A steep price but at least something that is nice to look at and works straight out of the box.
