2013-06-21
hi guys donal here I have some great news finally Apple have just opened this huge can of magic on the 802 playing in a C or a C for short Wi-Fi standard you know the one that gives you the speed up to 1.3 gigabit per second on my left here is the own new Airport Extreme Base Station and on my right is the old new time capsule you know what let me do a trick there you go I just switch them around without moving them arrow now I could do that because these two here are basically identical the only difference is that the time capsule comes with internal storage and the Apple extreme doesn't that means without the boxes here you have no idea which one is which really but don't worry you have this very clever way of making sure that you do well the price now the Apple extreme here cost $1.99 one of the most expensive home router on the market and the time capsule out does that be costing $2.99 or 399 depending on the storage need to table by or three-tier by now if you pay that much I'm sure you know which one is which really unless of course if you had them both like me we in that case you don't care it's just money you know now what do you get for the money a lot first of all these two are two dual band Wi-Fi routers meaning they support all existing Wi-Fi Kleinert market regardless of their standard or platforms the time capsule here can also be used for a Time Machine backup wirelessly and also for data sharing on the back both of them come with three LAN ports and one one port all of them a gigabit and there's also an USB 2.0 here to host another SOI device or I printer now for the first time these two devices come in exactly shape and size now Apple coned is the top-down approach to design adequately bottom-up either way it's just really beautiful take a look at the previous design like this one here this is the O Apple extreme as you can see is kind of square ease Y and short now the new one here is thinner actually very thin up to 75% smaller footprint and take a look at the time capsule here actually is barely really barely larger than the internal drive it has on the inside as you can see here it's amazing really now the new designs also a lot taller or longer if you want to use this this way up to six point six install generally I believe that thinner taller and longer are very attractive just look at me despite the new design these devices are still very easy to you Apple make sure that this is a case by offering the airport utility as the only way to set up and manage these routers you can use a computer or an iOS device to manage your network another reason why is is to you because that's not much for to change or customize as these offer less feature and option than other similar products now about the performance in my testing the actually work very well but since when have you decided to buy an Apple product because of its performance exactly for more performance check out the food reviews calm in the end in failure cell rush to the store to buy one of these pretty fast even if that means you have to take out a second mortgage on your home probably no judging I did that too I got this both but I did pay with castor and that's only because I'm don't know and this has been the first look at the all new airport base stations from Apple your Wi-Fi and possibly your life will never be the same okay
