Hi Giacomo, It's the 802A model. 802A is a US model while 805A is a Brazil/Latin America model. -Anthony

On the current models the AirPort Extreme offers the 802.11AC wireless protocol (which is faster), while the Express only offers 802.11n. On the AirPort Extreme you can connect a USB hard drive or printer, while on the Express you can only attach a printer. The AirPort Extreme also has three wired Gigabit Ethernet ports, while the Express only has one. Missing from the AirPort Extreme, but found on the Airport Express is an audio jack for powered speakers. I hope that helps you out.

Only other thing I can think of is that you want to make sure that the airport express that you buy, will handle 802.11 a/b/g/n. I have some older ones that are five or six years old that do not have the capability to work with the newer devices.

Hi, I don't know if it's the same one but if the pictures don't match then I would think its different On another not, I would *not* recommend buying the 7520. It continually drops off the network or crashes in some other way. I am not happy with it. Best regards, Rick

the 500 has native wifi built in and also has wired Ethernet. The 350 only has wired Ethernet. Hope this helps.

Well, right now, the 85U is $900 and the 80U is $975!!!Better go with the 85U!

well yes, that's the difference between this and the DGL-4500 (which is currently half the price). to get both N and G, you would need two DGL-4500 units, so therefor twice the price. if you check out www.smallnetbuilder.com you will see that the DGL-4500 and DIR-855 use the same chipsets, and score quite well in their bandwidth tests, either #1 or #2 on the list. in my case, i have one 802.11N machine at home, and the rest are 802.11G, so if i got the dgl-4500, i would either need to step the N machine down to G, or spend the extra money to get N cars for the laptops, which winds up costing a lot more in the long run.

It's a great router! If you have a late model Apple product or other high performance equipment that has the 802.11AC WiFi installed, then you want to get this modem/router, it's a noticeable difference from the 802.11N.

The AC wireless is the current top technology in wifi internet ensuring much higher speeds than the previous norms and so far I had no problems with the Qosmio x75 a 7180 wireless card which is an intel ac 7260. Both wifi and Bluetooth are working perfectly.

The 5 supports dual band wifi and has additional hardware improvements I believe. They look the same and both work great. You can find additional comparisons online.

The 8050 is 3 years newer. The 8255 appeared by fall of 2008. The 8050 by spring of 2011. The 8255 is now no longer in production but available new from some sellers for more than the 8050. The 8050 specs are way better and so is the versatility beyond the network capability bringing Internet radio to a home receiver. The networking capability was the most obvious innovation in the 8050 and tends to obscure the much better specs including 30 more watts per channel.

I have the 8000, with no wireless and these worked for me as well as the OEM ones that cost 3+X as much. Do be careful of the off name brands. These here get good reviews which is probably why they're a bit more expensive than the inktoneram ones, as advised below.

I upgraded from a Netgear WNDR3700 N600 to this Netgear AC1900 (R7000) and the range greatly improved. Areas of the house that had no signal before now have 4 out of 5 bars. I also tried a Apple Airport Extreme and was sort of disappointed that the range wasn't even as good as the WNDR3700. I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money on the NETGEAR AC3200 (R8000)

there was a mistake. I remember asus uploaded a firmware that wasn´t for the R1 but instead for the AIR version. google is your friend and it will help you find it, many people upgraded it and got the wireless option, the very same that you´re asking for; the problem is that some people got bricks or problems for using that firmware. also you should try and see if other wlan sticks function

One big difference for me is that 616 is WiFi ready and the 626 has it built in. They sell a USB wireless adaptor but that just ups the overall cost.

I have the 8916 model and I did have you use the LAN line to set it up initially, but once it is set up, you no longer need LAN, just a wireless router.
