This week’s TechTipTuesday arose out of problems with my home wireless network. We primarily connect to the Internet via WiFi at our house, with several Macs and a couple of smartphone devices.

I am paying for a decent speed connection (20mb down/5mb up) but I feel as if I am not getting my money’s worth. I have heard good things about Apple’s AirPort Extreme Base Station.
My previous routers have toe $40-50 Linksys variety. However, when I saw the price of the AirPort Extreme ($179.00 on Apple’s website) I realized that I should do some research.
