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.

    Best Airport ever

    I have a full network of Airports including 2 5th Generation Extremes and 2 Expresses. Like the rest of them these are easy to set up and keep going and unlike the other routers (Cisco/Linksys) these don't require routine restarts "they just work".

    I replaced a Linksys router that I had used for probably a couple of years with the Airport Extreme. Some of the lag and stutter during streaming vanished right away. While I'd prefer to have the more traditional router setup, the application wasn't bad.

    I had to decide whether to hire an IT/electrical contractor to wire my house with wireless data ports all over my house or simply install these 2 devices. I know what strong wifi signal in every corner of my 3 story home.

    I recently moved and my previous router (Airport Express) just wasn't working well. I decided to upgrade to the Extreme and noticed a difference immediately. I think if you have a lot of devices then the Extreme is the way to go.

    The strength of our WiFi signal greatly improved throughout the house when we got the Extreme. I finally have a stronger signal when I’m in the bedroom at the farthest point in the house. We’re quite pleased.

    Could not get internet to work at our house. After a great deal of time find out Netgear and Apple products don't work well together. Now I have amazing Internet for all my Apple products.

    If you own any Apple products, you really need to purchase an Apple Base Station. I've tried using other routers, but I've had problems in the past, so I recommend sticking with all Apple products, they have never let me down!

    This works great. I use it to help boost the wireless connection to my mother's entire property. She was having problems with dead spots in her house & we got this for her to solve that problem. Works great.

    I had a time capsule at my fathers house before this that was experiencing diminished signal strength. As I did not need the backup capability any more, I replaced it with this device and the wireless performance is much better.

    Apple make great products and we are an Apple household, hence, an Apple router. One concern I have is that I understand that Apple is discontinuing this line of business. I wonder if support will be an issue in the future.

    Used as second router for the house. The Airport Utility asked me if I wanted to extend my network, clicked yes and good to go. Whole house now has WiFi coverage. Has slightly limited features but fine for most applications.

    Once again Apple has made a great wireless router. Not only was it very easy to install, but it is very powerful and I have no "dead" zones in my apartment or outside in the patio area. The price is a bit high but I feel it was worth every penny.
