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 had to return this product because it did not meet my needs. Also, it is too pricey.

    I bought the airport extreme to replace my airport express almost 4 months ago and have been completely satisfied. I can get a good signal anywhere in my yard and don't have any connectivity issues. I also have not noticed any slow down when there are 5 or 6 devices using it.

    What a great product. Super easy to setup, typical clean simplistic appearance of Apple products, flawless performance during my first week of operation. Strong reliable signal in a three story home. Works fantastic with Airport Utility App that I preinstalled on my iPad......would HIGHLY recommend for those looking for a router to use with Apple products. This app allows you to set up the AirPort Extreme as well as control many other nice functions available on this product (like updating firmware, device usage limits, hiding your network, etc.). My only regret is not breaking down and switching from my old router earlier.

    Unfortunately, after owning an Extreme previously this one had to be returned. I elected to go with an AMPLIFI HD mesh network system. I had several issues with the Apple Extreme. Coverage issues, connectivity issues. AMPLIFI HD has been very reliable so far. Great performance

    This tech was bought by me and shipped to ARKANSAS without my permission. I recently went in and saw the purchase and address still in my account. Imagine my anger that this company profited off of me, allowing someone else access to my information and account. What is an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station? I wouldn't know because it was sent to someone else and I paid for it. When I tried to ask about why the address I had removed was still there I was told I needed to call 1-888-BEST-BUY. Still waiting for an answer.

    harder setup but amazing router

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The setup is tougher for someone used to a traditional router setup using 192.168.1.1 etc. BUT ... That said, throw the signal boosters and Ethernet over power adapters etc. Throw all that stuff away and just use this. This thing shoots through three floors. I can push 60megabit internet at full speed anywhere In my 5 bedroom house. Perfect for 2-3000 sq foot house. Save the belkins and netgears for the apartments. This one s for a HOUSE. That said, if you have a small house or apartment, save your money. This would be overkill- still get a wifi ac router, sure - but you won't need this one.

    Signal not strong enough for my home

    Beautiful, easy to install but not strong enough to cover my two story 2200 sqft home even with an extender. Sadly i returned it and purchased a more expensive Google mesh router which seems to have excellent coverage.
