[(12/20/07) Editor's Note: Contrary to what this review originally stated, this Apple router does support sharing of a printer connected via its USB port.]

Even before you see a new Apple product, you probably have some expectations: a flawless, minimalist design; a price a little higher than you'd like; and a mix of high-end features with some puzzling omissions. The Apple Airport Extreme Gigabit doesn't fall far from the tree: It's an elegant, somewhat pricey product that offers most of the important features a home or small-office draft-n wireless router should have, including dual-band (2.4-GHz or 5-GHz) operation and WPA2 security—but inexplicably, no firewall.
