Unplug the Internet

This turbocharged technology lets you connect to the Internet without wires, additional phone lines, or complicated networking hardware. Use AirPort Extreme to get online wirelessly(2) at hundreds of Starbucks coffee shops or Borders bookstores from coast to coast via T-Mobile.
Travel unfettered
Hotels around the world have made Wi-Fi compliant 802.11b wireless local area networks (WLANs) available in their guest rooms. Wayport, Inc., for instance, provides wireless connectivity in thousands of rooms at more than 400 major hotels in the U.S. Because AirPort Extreme is 802.11b-compatible, you can use your MacBook Pro to surf the Internet in every one of those rooms. And even if your hotel has no wireless network, you can create your very own using an AirPort Express Base Station. Just plug it in and connect it to the Ethernet port in your room. Your MacBook Pro gets you online — wirelessly — in seconds.

- AirPort Extreme uses the 802.11g wireless standard. Accessing the wireless network requires an AirPort- or AirPort Extreme-enabled computer or Wi-Fi-certified 802.11b or 802.11g computer. Achieving data rates of 54 Mbps requires that all users have an AirPort Extreme- or Wi-Fi-certified 802.11g-enabled computer and connect to an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station. If a user of a Wi-Fi-certified 802.11b product joins the network, that user will get up to 11 Mbps, and AirPort Extreme and Wi-Fi-certified 802.11g users will get less than 54 Mbps. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors.
- Wireless Internet access requires AirPort Extreme Base Station or other wireless access point; and Internet access (fees may apply). Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort and AirPort Extreme. Range may vary with site conditions.
