Over the past 8 years, I've used the Linksys WRT54G, a Belkin wireless G, and a D-Link DI-524 wireless G.

In fairness, each of these routers was $20 - $50, and so the savings over the Apple router was substantial (and ignoring the fact that they are all wireless G vs. Apple's wireless N).
Here's the verdict on ...

First off don't be put off by the price, you can get this used from Apple for only $150 (full warranty) or even less on resale sites.

I am a total Windows pc user i dont own any apple computers (except several ipods). That said i had no trouble setting up or using the AirPort Extreme with all of my windows pc's and laptops period. I spent about 30 min setting up a WDS wireless network with the extreme and my Airport Express. i had no problems with the setup other then a lack of helpful information on how to set up a WDS network on a Windows PC. i plan to purchase at least two more Expresses to further expand my network.
