    Instructions could be clearer. Once set up it is very reliable and fast. I like the small size and speed of this router.

    Awesome Dependable Router

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had this router for about 2 years now. It is a work horse and functions fantastic. The only time I reset it was when I had to change internet service providers. I recently switched to 105Mbps ISP through Comcast. Through wired ethernet I get about 95Mbps. Note: This device only has a 100Mbps Ethernet lan port so if you have internet service beyond 100Mbps I would purchase another router with a gigabit port. On abgn devices downstairs (where router is located) I get speeds up to 80Mbps, I believe this is the max actual speed it will reach through wifi. Since I have 105Mbps ISP I'm not getting the max out of my service but due to signal congestion and such you will almost never reach wired speeds. This is a great router but it's technology isn't capable of pushing 100+Mbps speeds through wifi. So, if you have internet speeds of 100+Mbps I would definitely future proof myself and get an AC router such as the Apple Extreme, if you have internet speeds below that then this is a great router.

    BEST ROUTER YOU CAN BUY-PERIOD!

    Apple has some very awesome stuff, this is just one more of them. Plug in, go to setup page on iphone or airport utility, and you are good to go. Even if I wasn't a mac/apple person I'd use this over so many other routers. Dependable, good range, and easy setup - even easier with iphone or mac airport utility. If you have a big house, get the airport extreme or you can buy two of these and link together.

    Nice base station

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Plays very nice with my apple devices. Even works well with game system on wireless connection. Easy to configure and manage if you have an apple device. Have owned it for a little over a year and has performed very well with 20mbps connection. Excellent wireless range. Occasional reset required, maybe once or twice a month , but I'm pretty sure that is due to the provider.

    5 Star Router

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was in the market for a new router. I looked around and spoke with the Best Buy sales rep. He informed me of this product and I purchased it. It was extremely easy to set up, set up with your iphone, ipad, tablet, etc. It was not complicated. My old router was slow and once I connected the airport express the speed was 10x faster! Quality was A-MAZing!!

    Quick & Effective

    Set up of this router was ridiculously easy. I was able to do it in about 3 minutes using my iPhone. In my opinoin you can't beat that kind of convenience. I think it performs better than the linksys router I replaced. I would recommend to anyone and especially to people who don't like spending time installing and setting up equipment.

    The Apple Airport Express Base Station is so easy to set up with an iPad or any Apple IOS device for that matter. I have not had any problems with it so far in the few months I've had it. I also love how small it is. At the time, it seemed a bit pricey, but you're not gonna find a better dual band wireless router for the price.

    Love this wireless router. So much faster than the old Belkin we had before. We have numerouse devices hooked up to it (i.e. 2 Nooks, 2 cell phones, printer, ipod, etc) and it isn't slow at all. It was super easy to install as well. Took just a few minutes to install and get all of our devices connected.

    Great product for streaming music

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had the first generation of this device to stream music in the house. When I built a new house I bought a Panasonic amp to stream music via AirPlay. Eventually the Panasonic unit quit seeing the network and I went back to the AirPort Express. It started to get hot and fail so I bought a new unit. It installing VERY easily and streams music great. I think a lot of people don't know about this feature - it is AWESOME!

    No need to hide this router. Beautiful and very simple to set up. Airplay is also wonderful. I wish there were more ethernet cords to hardwire near by electronics, but its manageable. Detects my cellphone and computer separately to decipher the best connection. Neat!

    The Airport is an amazing router! The setup was super easy, it works with PCs as well as Macs, and its dual band so it can be used by multiple devices and it won't slow down the network! Highly recommended!

    I was really impressed. Strong signal all over two-story townhouse. Fast as anything too. Main drawbacks are the absence of extra Ethernet ports and not being able to plug a hard-drive into it.

    Easy Setup and Great Product - Love Apple

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I ordered this product on BestBuy.com and it arrived quickly (although the box was very damaged when it came in). Aside from the box damage, the product itself arrived unscathed and worked immediately when plugged in. The instructions are easy to follow and super simple, basically plug and play. I also use Apple computers, so the computer-side setup is also very easy, simply naming the wireless network and choosing some simple settings. Out-of-the-box to online: about 5 minutes. Definitely recommend this product for the price and quality of product.

    If you are looking for a super easy router to install this is it. I love the quality of Apple products. I had it up and going in about 20 minutes including unboxing. I have already had an update. I never knew how to update my previous router. It was just so easy. No more spotty coverage for me. Most of my 2500 sq foot house is covered and even get some wifi outside in some places.

    New Shape New Features

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The new airport express has many of the features of the airport extreme now. 2Ghz network and 5Ghz network as well as a guest network option and an ethernet port so you can also attach a switch. Apple again has made a great product and I expect it to last years and years like the express it is replacing. It would be nice to see Gigabit on the ethernet ports for your wired devices for internal data transfer speeds if this is your only airport. This one lives outside in the storm cellar under the pergola providing my iTunes outside when entertaining as well as a good wireless signal outside and in the storm cellar, nice to get on the web when a storm is coming. It would however be nice to have the time capsule drive function so that I could keep my data backed up in the cellar without needing to place a computer or a separate time capsule down there also. Maybe next time apple will give us a single product that has all of the features on.

    I bought this to extend my wifi coverage. I have an Apple Extreme in the basement and wanted to make sure I had great coverage upstairs. You can not go wrong with these great products from apple! It was easy to set up, just download theairport utility ios app for my iphone and did it all from there. Speeds are as amazingly fast! anywhere in the house I always have full wifi strength. We have 2 ipads,2 iphones, kindle, 2 ps3, xbox, ipod,2 laptops, apple tv, smart tv, and wireless HP printer all hooked up to these apple router! You can not go wrong with puchasing these and the set up is so easy!!

    GR8 Wireless router

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I previously owned Linksys wireless routers and found myself having to power them off and back on again. Apple Airport Express is an addition to my previous purchase which is an Airport Extreme. These two router combined give us 3 times the range and not one restart to date. I connect an external hard drive usb to the Extreme and use as an Apple Time capsule. On the express I connected speakers and use the airplay feature. I should have purchased the Apple routers a few years ago.
