The day after rumors broke about an updated Apple Xtreme and Time Capsule, Apple went ahead and launched them both. The new Airport Xtreme and the Time Capsule still has your basic 802.11 specs, including A, B, G, N, but the N flavor now covers both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz spectrum, giving it dual band capabilities. This will get the most out of your throughput, so when other devices are cluttering up the 2.4Ghz band, the Xtreme and Time Capsule will kick in to the other band and free up some of that bandwidth. The Time Capsule will be offered in 500GB and 1TB options, as was before.

Another interesting and useful feature is guest networking, which creates a separate hot spot for guests who you basically don't trust. This way, you won't have to give up your precious password thereby keeping them off of your network drives and peripherals.
