Is the Airport Extreme Base Station worth buying?

[EythorAtli97]

Hello everyone I am new to the forum and just want some answers.......

I'm going to buy a new 2011 iMac 21.5" which will be in my bedroom.......
Since my current wireless router is in my livingroom i was thinking about getting a new one for my bedroom only....... I began to do look at the Airport Extreme from Apple but it is so expensive

Please help me out

If you already have a wireless router, why do you need a second one? You are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. You probably don't need another router at all, let alone one of the more expensive routers for the amount (or lack of) features you get.

What are you trying to accomplish? If you want to boost the signal from what you've already got, an Airport Express can do that (and is cheaper)...It's tough to give you advice without knowing your goals.
