hey guys John here with a review for you of the Airport Extreme Base Station if you want to know what it looks like check out the unboxing reason I'm not holding it here is because it's taking care of my network right now so I've been using the thing for a couple weeks enough time to I think really get to know it know it's capable of and what it can do I gotta say the thing is great hands down better than the Linksys Wireless G router that I was using the typical blue one this one here you know that everybody has seen around it's the go-to a router first start with the negatives about the airport really the only negative about it is it only has three Gigabit Ethernet ports in the back it's okay not a big deal actually I only have three things that I want to plug into it anyway so so that's okay that's the only negative the cool things about it now and you go back look at the unboxing videos on the back it has a USB port and what that USB port allows you to do is network hard drives printers anything that plugs into a USB port you can really network up which is very handy and you can also use a USB hub to plug in and plug it in network ton of drives it's actually very easy to do as well if you're trying to networks an external hard drive which i think is probably the most common take your hard drive plug it in you go to your system utilities and it just shows up seeming like a palabra ties as it just works on the Airport Extreme Base Station really just works setting it up took three minutes again same thing I plugged it in follow the instructions in my Applications folder and went to airport utilities and follows four steps named by network set a password and boom it was done so very easy there one thing to know now anybody who has a wireless and equipped computer whether it's a new MacBook Pro I think even the Mac books are wireless and the new iMacs any that's over any PC or something that's Wireless and capable the computer to computer time for file transfer is really fast it used to take me it say I wanted to transfer a hour on TV episode 2 on my Apple TV with my old wireless G router from the MacBook Pro to the Apple TV would take probably six seven maybe ten minutes at least amount of time to transfer things now with the airport extreme from my computer to the Apple TV it's done in two minutes I mean it's easily easily three times as fast my download speeds have increased also my bandwidth has stayed the same so I think it's just just faster and everything seems to just be running a little bit zippy or whether it's my mind or not you know is yet to be seen but it's highly recommended it hasn't disconnected and hasn't crashed like the Linksys I'd have to reset that thing every day the airport just been really solid and it looks good as well it doesn't have the big antenna sticking up either which is very handy it does get a little bit warm though like echo fish mentions so you know be worried of that but it's nothing terribly bad at all just a little bit of heat coming out the top alright guys so let's pretty much a review of the airport extreme on a scale of one to ten I easily give it a a nine and a half out of ten definitely definitely definitely recommend it if you need one and you can pick it up from the Apple store pick it up online I think in the United States best buyers are carrying them now I can really get them anywhere and they will work with a PC as well so no problem there and it comes with software and stuff - I can figure it all right guys I know I hope you enjoyed the video any questions let me know thanks for watching thanks for subscribing and that's it guys talk to you soon bye
