AirPort Extreme Goes 'N' & Learns to Share USB

AirPort Extreme Goes 'N' & Learns to Share USBAside from iPhone and TV media extender, Apple also debuted a new AirPort Extreme to match the speeds of the AirPort 802.11n cards installed on all recent Core Duo 2 Macs whose 'N' potential will be unleashed by the enabler software. The router didn't take center stage in yesterday's MacWorld keynote, but its new features are what most people want badly. The most notable improvement is of course the wireless speed bump by up to 5 times as 802.11g. Apple also throws in 802.11a (max. 72Mbps), probably made for Apple TV. The router also receives USB hosting upgrade; there's a single port connecting up to 2 devices - an external hard drive and/or a printer - if you connect them to USB hub. Lastly, Extreme now sports 3 Ethernet ports - just enough our X-Box 360, HP network-ready C5180 and Sling. Now, could someone tell me which USB 802.11n adapter works best with the new Extreme?
