Improved & updaqted?

I read an article that said the Airport Extreme and Time Machine(capsule) have been (quietly) updated with an improved antenna design. I see no indication on the AirPort web page that anything has been changed. Did it change?

We have a generation 1 airport extreme, do we need to update it to have faster internet??

Our airport extreme is 5 years old. We have cable modem through Time Warner in Brooklyn, NY. Our internet gets slower and slower. Uploading 100 MB files to an FTP take hours. We have tried to boost the speed using the airport utility, but to no success. Do we need to get a newer router? Or is it more likely a provider problem?

I have Verizon FIOS, with an Actiontec MI424-WR Rev D WLAN router.

I need to improve WLAN performance at the fringes of existing range. If I use an Airport Extreme to do that, how should I configure the Actiontec router? I was hoping to range extend wirelessly?

I have a 3+ year old MacBook. I've been using it w/ an older Airport Extreme with 'g' protocol. I know I have to install sofware to enable 'n.' What?

I'm going to buy the new Airport Extreme, because I now have two Macs that can use 'n' protocol. But I know my older Intel-based MacBook doesn't have the software to use 'n.' Where do I get it?

do all airport extremes have to be the same model

I have the old saucer types. If I purchase the newer model, will the old ones work with the newer?

How do I find out if my PC has the (802.11a/b/g/n) protocol? it uses XP, is 4 years old is uses a linksys g-router, but I just got a Mac.

I can't remember the password to add the Mac to the Linksys and am not sure it's worth it anyhow... thinking of upgrading to Airport Extreme, but only if it will work with our old PC too.

Does Airport Extreme provide greater speed than Airport or Airport Express?

I have the original Airport and I'm wondering if switching to Airport Extreme will improve my online speed?
