Apple discreetly updated today the Airport Extreme to a new design like the Mac mini and the Apple TV and to the preview version of the IEEE 802.11n standard. The IEEE 802.11n bring up to 5 times more bandwidth and twice the range than previous g standard. This standard is supported by most Macs Apple sells today out of the box (use the enabler to access n standard). Note that not much is told about the future official "n" finalized standard save they work on total interoperability with Intel, Broadcom and Atheros, we can expect Apple waited until the pre-n chip were 100% final "n" compatible.
n-able macs:
- iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (except 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)
- MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo
- MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo
- Mac Pro with AirPort Extreme card option
(other models wil work with a, b and g standards)
