Apple Airport
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product worked as described, however, I am wondering if a non-Apple router might have done the same. I bought this mainly because I just about all of my product are Apples.

Did not live up to my expectations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We went with the Apple brand with the expectation that it would be a decent product! After using the product only 1 year the fan starting making a loud noise that would not quit. Unfortunately, there was no warranty and we did not purchase an extended warranty. Didn't think we needed to since we were buying what we thought was a decent product. We are now headed out to buy a new one this weekend. We can no longer tolerate the fan noise! Needless to say we will not buying the Apple brand again!!!!!

Average. Occassional dropped connection.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not using ac connection. There is at least a daily dropped connection that requires a hardware reset. The range (for 'g') is about the same as previous router (limited). Not worth the cost.

Best Wireless Router EVER...Period!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After struggling with my internet speed for the past 2 years, my first hiccup was poor wiring into my house which my cable company finally resolved. Following that fix, I continued to have speed issues. When one pays for 250 Mbps download speed but can only eke out a meager 60 Mbps, then there's a problem. I started with my older trusty Linksys and then tried the lesser model Apple Airport router with little improvement and followed up with a Belkin with not much more success. Today, after reading countless reviews about the Apple AirPort Extreme, I convinced myself to bite the bullet and pull the trigger on this amazing wireless router. I am now getting to 225 and higher Mbps download speeds. It was between this product and the Netgear Nighthawk 1900 which has also gained great reviews. Ultimately, I have a very Apple friendly home and have not been disappointed with any of their products to date. As with my other Apple products, it was a breeze to setup. I am now getting the internet speed I am paying for. Best Buy customer service rep was great as well. My closest store was out of stock but the store across town was kind enough to set me aside their last unit. Thanks Best Buy and thanks Apple. One happy customer! Highly recommended!

Incredible Router
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The router is extremely easy to set up. Charter cable, with Motorola modem, approximately five minute setup. The Western Digital house wire extenders took another 45 min. Well worth the time and effort.. I have far better range then with my previous apple router, five years old and it died. My I phone 6 is blazing fast on the WiFi. My ancient I pad 2,Kindle, Mac book pro, and I phone5 performance is unchanged speed wise with much better range.

Powerful signal. Does not work with PC products.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product does have a good signal throughout the house. However, I was told it would connect seamlessly to Microsoft products, such as Smart televisions and pc based laptops.

Can't get it to connect to the internet.

Excellent

Probably not a good idea for NYC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Airport Extreme in the hope that it would extend the range of my internet (it didn't). What did happen was that I began to get kicked off the internet sporadically, usually up to 30 seconds at a time. Finally spent over an hour with an Apple technician who had to change the channel the Extreme was using because of all the other users in the area using the same channels. Still getting kicked off, but only once a week. However, in NYC who knows when the new channel will become over-used.

Very Poor 5 GHz performance
