Airport Extreme Base Station

I was bought an Aiport Extreme Base Station. My last router had died. For some reason it stopped connecting to the modem. I plugged in directly for a few months. Not fun. The Aiport is not only a much better router then the Netgear then it replaces. It also has a usb input that allows me to plug a hard drive in and stream music and video from the hard drive to a computer on the other side of my apartment. Very exciting. I switched from Earthlink to Roadrunner for the higher upload and haven't had a single drop in the connection when Streaming from the server or connecting to the net.
