What are the differences between a 2nd generation Airport Extreme and a 5th generation other than dual band capability?

I have a 2nd generation and want to replace it with a 5th generation. Will it be worth it? Other than the dual band capability of the 5th gen, what is the advantage?

The 2nd Gen AirPort will support wireless speeds up to about 270-300 Mbps. The 5th Gen will go up to 400-450 Mbps.
But, not sure why you are looking at a 5th Gen AirPort when the Gen 6 runs circles around the Gen 5 in terms of speed capability and antenna performance. The 6th Gen antennas are up at the top of the tower for significantly better transmission capability and there are more of them as well.
With an "ac" capable computer the 6th Gen will get up to 900-1,000 Mbps. Otherwise, it will come in at 400-450 Mbps with a fairly up to date Mac.
The 6th Gen would be, and is a "no brainer" for me over the 5th Gen, but you may have your reasons.
Apple tends to introduce new models in June of most years, so if you are not in a rush, you will likely have an even better offering soon.

  • What are the differences between TestStand Version 1.0.2 and 1.0.3?

    I have TestStand version 1.0.2 and have a customer that uses 1.0.3. I am updating test software for that customer and need to know if I can use TestStand 1.0.2. What are the differences between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3?

    vc -
    The Whatsnew.txt file for TestStand 1.0.3 contains the following text:
    Changes from TestStand 1.0.2 to 1.0.3
    TestStand 1.0.3 includes a translation to Japanese. It also
    includes other fixes mostly related to translation issues.
    1) Configure Database Options menu item was not localized.
    2) Dismissing a modal CVI dialog brought a random window to the front.
    3) Removed text from operator interface splash screens
    4) Resized operator interface panels
    5) In the TestStand - Sequence Display.vi of the LabVIEW operator interface, the
    following control descriptions didn't use resource strings:
    - Sequence Description:
    - Current Test:
    - Number of Tests:
    6) The Engine Installation Wizard wasn't localizable.
    7) Flexible MessageBox sometimes displayed only 1-2 lines. This was seen in the
    Edit Database Options Help dialog and the Adapter Configuration dialog in the
    CVI operator interface.
    8) The buttons in the Automation Adapter Configuration dialog were not localized.
    9) Font for the Add Directory to Search Directories checkbox on Find File dialog
    was incorrect for Japanese Windows.
    10) Dialog used to browse for directory to specify the report location was not translated.
    11) Database Viewer was not localized correctly.

  • What are the differences between iPod 2nd and 3rd Generation models?

    Hi:
    I have a couple questions about the differences between some of the iPod Touch models:
    1) What is the difference between the *2nd Gen 8GB iPod touch* and the *3rd Gen 8GB iPod touch?*
    2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
    Thanks!

    none, really.
    2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
    the 32 & 64 GB models have advanced hardware components. 32GB and 64GB Touches gain 3GS specs - roughly 2x faster, with more advanced 3D graphics for games that capitalize on OpenGL 2.0 - and features like Voice Control.

  • What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

    what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

    The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
    If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
    Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

  • What are the differences between ECC5.0 and 6.0 new GL functionality

    Hi Experts,
    What are the differences between ECC5.0 and 6.0 new GL functionality.
    If we want to implement IFRS, I think New GL functionality is very helpful, but why sap is recommending only for ECC6.0 new GL functionality, Eventhough this functionality is available in ECC5.0.
    Best Regards,

    Dear,
    ECC 5.0 vs. ECC 6.0/SAP ERP 6.0
    Functionality not available in the new G/L with mySAP ERP 2004 and ERP Central Component (ECC) 5.0:

  • What are the differences between ESB 10g and OSB 10g

    Hi,
    I'm newbie to OSB 10g. I have installed OSB 10g.
    I came to know after Oracle acquired BEA, the ALSB is renamed as OSB.
    I'm curious to know what are the differences between ESB and OSB.
    If there are many differences, please post any links which provide the required information in detail.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Udaya

    the 'old' esb has been renamed to mediator and is now only used as component in your sca application.
    the two service buses can't really be compared since the osb (former alsb) has way more functionality in it.
    Oracle gave it it's own place in his soa portfolio and the old esb can only be used als mediator in your sca application.
    On top of your sca application you could use the OSB to complete your architecture design.
    the difference between both.
    esb (now used as mediator) can only be used in your sca application
    in here you will use it mostly for routing/transformation, and there is some functionality for assign/java callouts conditional routing
    the osb is complete product with a lot of functionality in it. Everything you used the old 'esb' for can be done in the OSB and with a lot of extra's.
    routing/transformation/service call outs/java callouts/transport virtualization/security/and more and more
    you should read the guides of the OSB to get an idea of everything it can do for you.

  • What are the differences between Logos and LogosXT?

    What are the differences between Logos and LogosXT?

     Logos XT is a networking middle-layer maintained by the LabVIEW Network Technologies and Security group. Logos XT provides a thin layer on top of TCP/IP to simplify some common network tasks.
    The underlying foundation for NI networking is called Logos.
    I believe that the basic idea is Logos is what is going on behind the scenes at the base level and Logos XT lets you build your own networking protocols on top of Logos.  Logos XT would be used if you want to make your own networking protocol instead of using TCP/IP or UDP.

    V$SQL_PLAN

    dbms_xplan.display_cursor functionV$SQL_PLAN-this is dynamic perfomance view which contain execution plan information for each child cursor loaded in the library cache.
    DBA_HIST_SQL_PLAN- data dictionary view also contain execution plan information for each child cursor bun in workload repository.Actually this view captures information from V$SQL_PLAN and is used with the DBA_HIST_SQLSTAT .
    dbms_xplan.display_cursor - function displays explain plan of any cursor loaded in the cursor cache. See more information below links:
