Airport Extreme

By Jim Lyons | January 17, 2008

My Cisco/Linksys WR54GTS was just not cutting it.  The internet would go on and off, inexplicably.  I tried many things found by googling the connection problem I was experiencing.  Nothing worked.  Well, something did finally work.

I bought an Apple Airport Extreme.

 

Plugged it in, configured wireless security, and my mixed network of two Macs and one PC were surfing away.

BTW, wireless security NEVER worked on the Linksys.  Again, long searches on arcane combinations of setting the security.  Nope, Not gonna do it, said the Linksys.

I did configure it to allow only the three computers I specified to access the network, but I always wanted security to be in place.

Tonight, I get to see if my iPod Touch can connect to the Airport.  I have a strong hunch it will.  The iPod Touch and the linksys?   You know the answer.
