New Airport Extreme and Time Capsule juggle two networks simultaneously
Posted in: Apple, breaking news, BreakingNews, router, Today's Chili, wifi
Apple’s new Airport Extreme actually brings some fun stuff to the staid wireless router market, while a similarly refreshed Time Capsule does the same for NAS land. The power comes from its new dual-band WiFi radios, allowing them to work in 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously, support up to 50 users simultaneously and even set up separate limited-access networks for guests. That $179 pricetag on the Airport Extreme doesn’t get any easier to swallow, and neither do the $299 or $499 tags on the Time Capsule (500GB or 1TB, respectively) but at least you’ll have the hippest and whitest 802.11n access point in your dorm.
