Upgrade to New Airport Extreme..worth it?
Hi
I currently have the last version of Aiport Extreme.....just got a new MacBook Pro...I have obtained download speeds on my RoadRunner acct at up to 7.2 megs....not bad
Is it even worth buying a new Extreme? The biggest concern I have with my MBP is that the airport reception is worse than my 1gig Powebook G4....the new "n" standard is touting better range...and sometimes the unit does move slower due to the reception.
So.....am I better off just staying put or upgrading? I do share a network with a "g" class Windows machine. I was thinking of placing that on the current extreme and letting me use the new "n" class....if its worth the $$ to do so......7+ download is not to shabby already....I can get around 480k upload.
Thanks
Greg

(I don't think you have reason enough to upgrade)
