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 don't really see increased speeds over the prior generation. It may that the signal has to go through concrete.

    I purchased this to upgrade from my old school AEBS which works perfectly fine but of course only provides 802.11n. With the new Airport Extreme you have get 802.11ac and can support more connections at once. I will probably hook the older one back up for more coverage but as of today I have not needed to do so. This new version out performs the old one in every possible way. My older Macbook Pro is 802.11n and maxes out wirelessly at 102MB down on our max speed of 100MB internet (live in a rural area). 1000% happy with this product and it does not get any easier to set up.

    When my previous router died I decided to get the AirPort Extreme. I've had it now for a couple months and have had no problems. Set up was easy and I was online in no time.

    I bought this to extend my wireless coverage and after a very short and easy setup period, (through the Apple app. in my Ipad), I was navigation in every corner of my house.

    Frustration due to Verizon -- Not the device

    I'm pretty good with my computer and its devices. I could activate the device very easily. BUT my Verizon DSL would not communicate with it. I tried every way I could find, but to no avail. Verizon came out and found an issue with my line, but that did not resolve the connection with the Apple device. The one thing I would suggest is that Best Buy staff be more familiar with Verizon's extreme limitations. I recall that I went through this a few years ago when I bought a NetGear router. It worked exactly the same way. It lights up and communicates, but it cannot communicate with the Verizon DSL, so there's no Internet connection.

    I love Apple and their products, this AirPort Extreme is no exception. Mine is on the floor next to my TV stand and it delivers signal all over my 1400 sq ft home. The signal drops a bit in the back of my house which I wouldn't expect from an AC device. I recommend putting this up higher for best results.

    I had an older Apple Airport for many years. When it stopped working I want to replace it with one that had a dual band. Set up quickly and has work since setup. No problems,
