Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the AirPort Extreme Base Station's ease of use, range, and performance. Many also highlight the strong signal strength and relatively easy setup process, resulting in great coverage. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high. A few also mention that the size could be smaller and that more Ethernet ports would be beneficial.

    I live in a building, lots of people are on the 2.4GHz Spectrum, I bought this and now I am the only one on the 5GHz Spectrum. Made a difference. I imagine you would get the same results with any 802.11AC Routers but since we are a iDevice family, I bought the Airport Extreme. Setup was a breeze and the whole UI is extremely easy to navigate. Buy it, you won't regret it.

    I had the airport express, and finally decided to upgrade considering the wifi would drop after a certain distance in the house. Best decision I ever made, it may be a bit pricer but it is a great product

    If you're an apple user this router would be the ideal one for you. It's reliable, easy to install and stylish too. I had two linksys N routers at home before i have this, but i always have a problem with the connection. When i got this apple airport extreme, i always have full bars of connection in mostly part of the house. Dont spend for other brands of router, this router is not playing.

    Setup took me less than five minutes. The bonus is that when I used the airport express as a wifi access point for my DIRECTV in the other room, not only did it automatically recognize the AirPort Extreme unit, and set up/synching only I required entry of a password, but it also works as a signal relay. All my devices have a full signal no matter what room I'm in now. Get the app and you can monitor all units on the network. If you don't have a Mac, the system can be set up with an IPad or IPhone.

    We originally bought the smaller port but it wasn't enough to have wifi all over my house and I have a 2 story house and the port was upstairs on the back room so I wasn't getting good signal in my room and the apple tech recommend to upgrade to this tower and it works amazing. We drove around our house and we can see our wifi signal a few houses down so make sure you put a password on your internet. Love apple they never disappoint me with their products.

    This router allows me to use all My devices across the entire property when before my old router only allowed me to use devices in a couple rooms. Works great with my MacBook Pro, IPhone, and my Xbox.

    I have tried many different routers and eventually they always need to be replaced. I have also had the smaller airport and never had an issue, but eventually gave it to a friend as a gift when she moved. I figured I would try the bigger one since it says it can handle more. I checked reviews to make sure it was better than the smaller one so I wasn't wasting my money. I love the apple routers and will always be getting these going forward.

    I was having issues with my old Airport 'cause it was ancient (like 12 years old). I am so happy I got this one. It sends the single throughout my whole apartment and has rendered my booster useless.

    It's a pretty white box, set up takes about 5 minutes, and then you're up and running with a home network, a password, and maybe a guest network for when your friends are over for dinner and are too embarrassed to ask for your wifi password 5 minutes after taking off their shoes. Range is so great I used to be able to turn on my Xbox One via my iPhone app from the sidewalk. Not sure if that's a selling point. Just a cool thing I did. But then I moved.

    Big Apple/fan household to begin with thus product was a natural choice when old router went out. First one we bought though was defective - very disappointing - never happened before for us with an Apple product (hence reason for 4/5 instead of 5/5). Brought back next day and have had this one for over 2 weeks now and worked since coming out of the box.
