AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet)

Compared with the AirPort Base Station (original), this model added a second Ethernet port, so it can share a broadband connection with wired and wireless computers. It supports up to 50 users instead of 10, and it adds 128-bit WEP encryption and a built-in firewall. The 802.11b radio at 11 Mbit/s and the price of about US$300 did not change.
