    I don't think its worth it :p. The AirPort Extreme is a great router but Linksys and D-Link make great routers as well for a lower price.

    And in case you're confused, Macs can connect to almost any router out there.

    The airport has additional ports for connecting USB devices to for sharing, printers, hd .... Personally I think they are over priced. But they are rock solid products, and will give you very little problems.
