I just ordered an Airport Extreme the other night. Make sure that you lock the AE to 5GHz if your wireless devices will work with that. From the research I've seen, going from 2.4GHz with all of it's cordless phone/baby monitor/microwave interference to the relatively uncluttered 5GHz band makes a HUGE difference. I suspect that frequency jump is responsible for a large portion of why the Airport Extreme is the only router to really improve upon G technology -- even the high end Linksys/etc. only support 2.4GHz. I have run my G router with "g-only" limited connections since I got it. I plan to run the AE with 5GHz n-only settings (if possible) just to prevent any issues with legacy devices slowing things down/etc. Mike It’s funny you mention finally taking the plunge.
