Customers are saying

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've had the router for a couple of weeks now. After setting it up, I had to reset the router every couple of hours. I changed the channel using Airport Utility and now I only have to reset it every couple of days. I will be calling Apple to get some help and see if they can help me fix the problem for good. I'm hopeful that the problem can be resolved since it was really easy and fast to set up.

    Good quality wireless access point, however the price is extremely high especially when you can get a similar product elsewhere for significantly cheaper.

    It performs better than my expectations. The AirPort Extreme Base Station offers Wi-Fi speeds up to 3x faster than my previous router. It features next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi, simultaneous dual-band support, and an all-new design. Great product, and coming from a non-Apple fan...

    Having owned a plethora of wireless products, Apple's Airport line is by far the simplest to configure without sacrificing power and features. Unlike other routers that require logging into a local IP address with a rather cumbersome settings interface, Apple's Airport Utility (after necessary updates) easily identifies and walks the user through the process. Whether creating a new wireless network or bridging a new device to an already existing network, from novice to professional, the setup allows for fine tuning for those with specific needs. The router itself offers the current "ac" protocol for transfer rates as high as 1300Mbps. The plethora of antennas offer solid connectivity, ensuring excellent signal/noise ratio's within 2.4 and 5Ghz bands. The USB port allows for printer connectivity and with "Back to my Mac", logging into configured network systems is simple and secure.

    Great product. True plug and play. The only trouble I had was me not reading the set up questions correctly. Once I reread the question I was off and running on all 3 floors of my townhouse. Best Buy was true to their word and Price Matched the $10 price drop the following week.

    Easy setup, use your iPhone and let it it do it's thing automatically (connect to it wireless and you'll see where it says setup). Range was fantastic, didn't have any issues with that. A room that normally only got 1 (if any) bar before with a high end Netgear router now had 2-3 bars.

    Upgraded from Airport Extreme 2nd gen and the biggest difference is the coverage distance. I have both connected, 2 networks, and outside and downstairs where I have dropouts with the old one the new one works perfectly. Glad I upgraded. Netflix streams better to the TVs as well.

    This router was the easiest router I've ever set up. Plug it in, connect to the internet and a PC/Mac and run the software. Done! Log back in to set security, mac filtering, SID broadcasting (or not). All very simple.

    Works great and has extended my Wi-Fi coverage range over my old router. I paired this up with an AirPort Express as a range extender and to use for AirPlay to a soundbar. The combination works very well together and my wireless network covers my entire house and backyard now.

    I have owned every versions of this since it was launched and love it. I own several of them and hook all of my family and friends up with one if they want my tech support! :) I was sorry to hear that Apple is no longer to make them! :( Buy it while you can!

    Works great. Seems to have a great range. Very convenient if you want to add additional airport expresses for whitening your Wi-Fi network. A little annoying that it only has three network jacks and not four. Apple, can't you afford to add one more network jack for convenience?

    Set up took less that 10 minutes. Was able to extend the network with my old extreme within 10 more minutes. The only reason a 4 star instead of a 5 is that several times I have had to trouble shoot the dropped signals. Apple tech support has been wonderful and able to eliminate the problems. Most of which have been my fault. This router is extremely sensitive to interferences. First the cordless phone then the surge protector. I have not had a problem since eliminating these.
