    So I rushed out and bought the newest airport extreme after my DIR-655 modem crapped out on me. I was surprised to see that the touted feature of MIMO is not supported by any of the current Macs. What gives? what's the point of selling customers something they can't even use?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't MIMO a prerequisite of 802.11n?

    2x2 MIMO is, but the new one comes with 3x3 MIMO and i hear thea irport card is really hard to upgrade in the future
