I was just over at Apple's website looking at the specifications for the brand new Airport Extreme.

Why in the world does this wireless router have local wired LAN ports which only support up to 100 Base-T Ethernet, when the iMac's, MacBook's, MacBook Pro's, hell - even the Mac Mini - they all support 1000 Base-T.

It makes no sense to me whatsoever to support fast speeds on all of the computers, but then not make it possible to connect at the higher speeds because the router caps at 100 Base-T.

I was honestly considering getting the Airport Extreme, but now I don't know that I can consider it with the speed limiting LAN ports.
