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.

    Speed

    Works great in an area saturated with Comcast WiFi

    I use this device in an apartment complex with many Comcast routers all broadcasting WiFi - my bandwidth / speed was way slow. Hooked up AirPort Extreme and now I get 100% of the speed package I am paying for. Also works flawlessly with my Apple products, e.g. MacBook, iPad, iPhone. Using AirPort Utility makes life much easier.

    My old airport just couldn't keep up with my demanding flight schedule and I had to replace it and boy am I glad I got this as part of my all Apple System. All of my and my wifes devices , eight all together, are wireless networked and streaming at an even greater rate and works great with my new Apple TV.

    Thought I would need a Wi-Fi booster

    I had an Apple "Air Port", but it didn't reach the PS 4 at the other end of the house. So, I went shopping for a Wi-Fi booster and decided to try the new Airport Extreme because of the extra features. I was going to buy a booster if I still needed one, but the new Airport Extreme covers the entire house.

    I needed a wifi extender and the Apple Airport Extreme hit all the right (dead) spots in my house. I already have a time capsule so I knew how easy the set up would be. Fire up the Airport Utility app on my phone and it was done in minutes. Now the back part of my house has as good of coverage as the front.

    Apple Routers are easy to set up. You can set it up with a computer or the iPhone or iPad app. They are also easily expandable with other apple airports.

    Excellent packaging and Easy Setup

    I have had the Airport Extreme for only about 24 hours. However, like all the Apple products that I have owned, this one was very well packaged. Not unlike some jewelry.... Setup was quick and easy, about 10 minutes total only because I was double checking the included instructions, which were detailed enough for me as a non-techie. I have had (and wife also), Apple phones, Apple TV and Ipad. Upload and download speeds are little above what I was experiencing with a Actiontec PK5000 (with no 802.11N or AC), but latency is about the same. We are rural and only have DSL at about 15Mb/sec. At these "speeds", it was not expected to show any advantage over the Actiontec upload/download speeds, however, how it handles simultaneous multiple streams appears improved. If this product fails or falters, I will update my review. Of course, it is a nice and slick looking product, with no damage found upon un-boxing it, and all components that were supposed to be included were there. I did have to use a separately obtained CAT 5 jumper to connect it to the router.

    This unit cost more then the typical wifi router but there is a good reason. It works. It handles congested environments better then the standard fare router. It can operate as a router, access point, or range extender. So for the money it actually is a good value. Range is better because of the way it handles congestion too.

    I needed to extend my wireless range and was talked into buying this instead of a range extender. It did the trick but was a pricey option.
