[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1237871, member: 56379"] I wasn't 100% sure if this was an updated DIR-655 (since I know that the DIR-655 has been out for a while)...and you know how the tech. companies like to come out with new or updated stuff at least every year. I'm really torn between the DIR-655 (about $80.00) & the dual-band Airport Extreme Base Station ($179.00). For the AEBS there's the: - Apple Loyalty - dual-band - almost guaranteed ease of setup - one other interesting feature is the "bandwidth management feature"...which allows you to control the range of the router (down to 1 room if necessary). [url=http://wireless-router-review.toptenreviews.com/premium-wireless-routers/airport-extreme-review.html]Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station 2011 - TopTenREVIEWS[/url] For the DIR-655: - lots of positive feedback/recommendations from Mac-Forums members - nice price Just a really tough decision. - Nick p.s. BTW...I know Schweb is a big supporter of the AEBS.;) [/QUOTE]
