[P1] Airport Extreme vs. U.S Robotics et al

[Signhelpers]

The USR doesn't have a modem, but it does serve as a firewall. Don't 
know about the DHCP, but I'll check. No mention is made of external 
antenna jack, but it could be handy. (Although I would be in the 
woods before I run out of normal antenna range.)


>>I'm ready to go with a wireless net for my home and am wondering if 
>>there's any real justification to the price differential between an 
>>Airport Extreme and a comparable unit from Linksys or U.S Robotics?

>The Airport Extreme has several features that you may or may not care about:

>   - external antenna jack
>   - V.something modem (dialup)
>   - DHCP server & NAT firewall

>I don't know if the USR hub has similar features or not.
