Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station - Wireless access point - EN, Fast EN, 802.11b, 802.11g
Manufacturer: Apple Computer ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics ASIN: B0000899ZC |
Product Description
AirPort Extreme consists of two components: the AirPort Extreme Card and the AirPort Extreme Base Station. Together, they represent the future of wireless networking. You'll see how fast this technology really is when you use AirPort Extreme to network AirPort Extreme-enabled computers in your home or office. AirPort Extreme Base Station features a compatibility mode that automatically supports not just the AirPort Extreme Card (at data rates up to 54Mbps), but all 802.11b-compliant products (at data rates up to 11Mbps) - Mac or Windows - as its default setting. Previously, all AirPort Base Stations required a physical connection to the Internet. With wireless bridging, two or more AirPort Extreme Base Stations can be connected wirelessly, effectively increasing the range of your network. The AirPort Extreme Base Station also features an external antenna connector for extending your wireless connectivity beyond the 150-foot range of your built-in internal antennas (you can choose to connect either a directional or an omnidirectional antenna).Customer Reviews:
Wireless Internet as a Fashion Statement.......2004-06-11
Using the Airport Extreme Base Station, in addition to an Airport Extreme reception card in your computer, you can move all around your home or office without the messy clutter of ethernet cables or connection equipment.
Setup is a snap using the included instructions. Within minutes you'll be surfing the web and accessing data wirelessly.
The only setback is the relative sensitivity of the Airport system. It doesn't like being near other computer components or going through walls. But, when push comes to shove, the unit does its job.
Airport Rocks.......2004-06-08
Overpriced and unreliable.......2004-05-12
Apple Airport Base Stations are often than twice the price of equivalent devices from other manufacturers. The features of the Apple product do not justify such a huge disparity in price. You're just paying for the brand name.
Also, think twice before investing in a 802.11g wireless router, because if you use it for Internet via broadband like DSL or cablemodem, you are limited by the bandwidth of the slowest part of the system. DSL/cable bandwidth is typically about one-fifth of the 802.11g bandwidth. So you aren't going to surf the net faster. A faster router helps multiple computers on your local network communicate with each other (for instance, if you host multiplayer computer game parties), but connecting to the outside world doesn't improve. Of course, if you don't have broadband and your router connects via modem, the bottleneck is even worse.
Given Apple's track record of poor quality, premium prices, and dubious benefit of the "extreme" model, I do not recommend buying this product. Get a Linksys or Netgear 802.11b router for $40 or so, and you'll be just as happy. That's what I did, and I'm sending my ABS 'snow' unit in for salvage.
Worth it.......2004-02-10
Whether it's browsing amazon.com late at night in bed, checking morning email in the kitchen while the kids run around, or being able to set up a writing desk anywhere in the house without worrying about an accessible internet port - the airport system is awesome. Even if you only have a desktop computer it's worth it - you can to put the computer in a place where there's no internet plug, without the 40 foot cord draping your wall to connect it. All in all, a wireless system may seem extravagant, but once you have one you'll wonder how you got by without it.
The airport card, along with the base station, allows you to connect several computers, even ones that don't have wireless cards in them (i.e., we have two laptops on the wireless system, and then one iMac that doesn't have an airport card is plugged directly into the base station). You can print, scan - anything - wirelessly, as long as those extra components are connected to the base station.
If you have a big house and the base station won't be centrally located, you may want to look into the antenna. I have a 2500 square foot house and the base station is at one end of it. I can get access from anywhere in the house without the extra antenna, though in one or two places it's a weak signal. My father's house, on the other hand, is over 5000 square feet and the base station is at a far end - you can't even get a signal on the other side of the house. However, he purchased the antenna and the signal is now very strong wherever you are. A warning - you should make sure your airport network is password protected, especially if you get the antenna. The signal will be broadcast through half your neighborhood and if not protected, people can get on and use your airtime, clogging up your bandwidth.
Make sure you get the right card! There's the airport extreme card and the regular airport card (I believe they are both compatible with either base station). Check Apple's website for direct compatibility between your computer and the two different cards. They are different sizes and will only fit in the right kind of slot.
One final word - I've heard from others that certain products from Net Gear or other wireless manufacturers accomplish the same thing as the airport card and base station for much cheaper. I can't attest to the validity of this, but it might be worth looking into. I'd exercise extreme caution, since if you go with Apple products it will be covered with tech support, even if it's more expensive. And putting third party hardware in your computer will likely void the warranty on your computer.

AT&T 360 Clock Radio Corded Phone with Caller ID
Manufacturer: AT&T ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Accessories:
Product Features:
ASIN: B00000J1DX |
Product Description

Today, its product range is one of the most extensive in the industry, including corded and cordless phones, answering machines, and phone-related accessories.The AT&T 360 Caller ID/Call Waiting Clock Radio Telephone provides with all modern features that give you necessary comfort of everyday use. The Caller Identification on Call Waiting function displays the second caller's name and number (if sent), even while you are on a call. 70-Name and Number Call Memory - Stores names (if sent) and numbers of up to 70 incoming calls which can be dialed direct from memory.

May be repeated as many times as you like. 13 Number Memory allows you to program up to 13 phone numbers for easy dialing (3 numbers in speed dial, and 10 numbers in two-step dial).Amazon.com Review
Clear away some clutter on your desk or nightstand with the all-in-one clock, radio, telephone, and caller-ID system from AT&T. You can wake up to music, news, or a forceful alarm and place nighttime calls with the lighted handset.Setting up the 360 was easy--we just plugged in the AC adapter and telephone cord. The backlit LCD display prompted us to set the clock, which we were able to do without the manual. We did glance at the manual before entering the caller ID settings, but the instructions were straightforward.
Programming the memory dialing was almost intuitive. The process was a slight variation of AT&T's usual method of pressing the Prog button, dialing the number, pressing the Mem button, and then pressing one of the buttons to store the number. This time we had to press Prog again instead of the Mem button.
Setting the clock-radio alarm was a little unusual. On the LCD screen, the radio is called Alarm A, and the buzzer is called Alarm B. (Why not Radio and Buzzer?) In our test, the telephone sounded clear and bright; the lighted handset worked on ordinary line voltage, requiring neither the AC adapter nor the battery; and even without the 9-volt battery, all settings were preserved without AC power for a few minutes. The caller-ID/call-waiting feature includes a bright indicator to let you know you have new caller ID entries in the history list or that a new call is coming in (if you're already on the phone).
