[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1583611, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Plummer[/B] - well, your MBPro (late 2008 model according to [URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2.53-aluminum-15-late-2008-unibody-specs.html"]HERE[/URL] has 802.11 a/b/g/n, as do your iDevices, so an 'n' router would certainly be a nice upgrade. As already posted the newest Apple Extreme Router & Time Capsule (router + storage) will do the newest approved standard, i.e. 802.11 ac, but the wireless network will broadcast on the band of your 'slowest' active device. I bought an Airport Extreme last year, so I'm getting 802.11 n which is plenty fast since the real limiting factor will be the speed of your connection provided by your ISP. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
