Question

Which Airport Extreme do I have? How do I tell?

A few years ago I bought an Airport Extreme. I set it up and forgot about it.

I recently upgraded to Lion and with the impending doom of my iDisk I heard that you can set up a hard drive connected to an Airport Extreme and access it from other off-site computers.

How do I tell which model of AirPort Extreme I have and what are it's capabilities?

I've got the serial number, the Ethernet ID and the Airport ID.

Once you throw away the packaging, they're all just white plastic boxes.

Try Check At the bottom...
Check the Model Number...
If it's A1301 so it's 3rd generation.
If it's A1354 so it's 4th generation.
if it's A1408 so it's 5th generation.

4th and 5th got no diffrent actualy but a noticable diffrent with the coverage which it's far more powerfull than the 4th gen.

while the Diff with the 3rd gen is.. it got no support of ipv6.
