Hi,

Overall, it should be just fine for whatever people wish to do.  Sure, you can 
have 10 GB performance with newer, more modern routers, but the bottleneck is 
your Internet connection.  The fastest residential Internet connections, for 
the most part, is 1 GB or less.  The Airport Extreme and Airport Time Capsules 
will support that speed just fine.  Yes, the processor speed of the newer 
routers is far superior, but, again, for most people's Internet and other web 
activity, that just fine.  The basic firewall in these Airport units will also 
stop most attackers.  Apple no longer makes these devices, but has continued to 
release firmware updates throughout the last number of years to patch security 
vulnerbiliies and to keep up with any problems.  The wireless AC protocol is 
supported on these devices and I've seen WiFi speeds of 1.3 Gb internally when 
connected.

So, all this being said, no, it is not the latest and greatest.  No, it does 
not have the fastest processors, but in my opinion, for the vast majority of 
users, it's still a viable and useful product that will give you quality speed 
and security.

JMO.

Later...
