Hi All,
I've made the switch to the macs and I love them. I have the 15" Aluminum Powerbook (with Airport Extreme) and it is so beautiful, and easy to use. I don't think I'll ever go back to using a PC.
Anyway, to my point. I want to get an Airport Extreme Base Station for Christmas (I need to make the decision in the next few days) and I'm a little confused with the two models that apple is offering.
Airport without antenna and modem (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71302/wo/1d4OGe4Jbz4z3a6CvA51mKswd6j/1.3.0.5.10.3.3.13.0)
And Airport with antenna and modem (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71302/wo/1d4OGe4Jbz4z3a6CvA51mKswd6j/1.3.0.5.10.3.2.13.0)
I don't understand the differences between the two other than the fact that they have these options and that the one with is $50 more. What do these mean? Right now all I want to do is hook into an existing line that is coming into a different router (my roommates) or whatever and make my room wireless.
In the future I want to run cable or whatever (in UT they want to bring Fiber optics to the cities and stuff) directly into my house/apt and then make that wireless so I can use it anywhere there.
The $50 is not a big deal if that is one of your questions to me. Can you help me understand which one would be best to get, and what the differences are and mean? Thanks!!!
