  1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
  2. Requires adapter, sold separately.
  3. Compatible ISP and telephone services required; fees may apply. Your ISP may not support all V.92 features. Modem will function according to V.90 standards if V.92 services are not available. Actual modem speeds lower.
  4. Achieving data rates of 54 Mbps requires that all users have an AirPort Extreme Card and connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station. If a user of a Wi-Fi Certified 802.11b product joins the network, that user will get up to 11 Mbps and AirPort Extreme users will get less than 54 Mbps. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network and other factors.
  5. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
