Instead of using the Airport Extreme to share out a USB drive, I had a Mac mini (connected to the Extreme via ethernet) sharing out the drive. I was able to get GREAT speeds copying files from my MacBook Pro wirelessly (802.11n) thru the Extreme to the mini + USB. I was able to write at about 9MB/s. I wasn't able to get great speeds copying to the Extreme + USB. The fastest I was able to write was about 4MB/s. I really like the new Extreme, but after having had it for about a month now, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for speedy USB transfers. :( Hey Doug,

I've hooked up a drive to it but it still takes me about 3 minutes to transfer 300MB or so. Nothing close to the 30 seconds it takes you. I have a MacBook Pro and I ran the install cd which I guess is supposed to unlock the /n capabilities built in. Do you have any idea how I can speed up the wireless file transfer speeds? That's the whole reason I bought the thing ;-) Thanks! - Doug Hi,
