M8440 Airport Base Station Manual: Software Free Download

If you're switching to a PC from a Mac, there's a good chance your wireless router was one of Apple's own Airport devices, and you may be wondering if you can keep using it without your MacBook. While the administration options for many PC routers can be accessed through a Web browser, you'll need Apple software – specifically the Airport Utility application – to manage its routers.

Fortunately, PC owners can download a Windows version of Airport Utility, so their Airport router doesn't need to be thrown out as they move to Windows. Just so you know, for the last step of the process, your PC will need to be logged into the wireless network that the Airport router is running.

Pros

Don't know what else to say. Easy to install, does what it's supposed to, doesn't get in your way.

Can't really mess up something like this, I guess...

Cons

Well, aside from the fact I have to log on a Windows machine to use it, there're no real cons about it...
