Summary: Just one little 'gotcha!'
Review: "Compatible" may be a stretch in Mac user terms. I certainly am NOT used to having to power off the AirPort WAP, unplug this antenna, screw a "key" into the end of the adapter cable on the AirPort side, power on the AirPort, wait 20 seconds for the AirPort WAP to reboot, then remove the key and re-connect the Hawking antenna -- EVERY TIME you reboot the AirPort or a power glitch shuts it off. My clients would kick me out of their homes if I installed it! Other than that, it's the highest gain (+6dBi) omni-directional external antenna I've found for the AirPort Extreme and it works great -- if you don't mind continually running AirPort Admin to see that its being used...

Summary: CORRECTION TO APPLE REBOOT PROBLEM
Review: The problem the previous post stated was an issue we were aware of and has since been fixed. All Hawking Airport AP Antennas now have the new antenna connector that does not require a "reboot" of any sort and works in a true "plug and play" fashion. For customers who have purchased the product and have the old connector that requires "rebooting" please contact Hawking customer service and your connector will be updated to the newest one at no charge.
