The AirPort Extreme is very quick and easy to set up, and seems to have better range than any other router I’ve owned. We have about 10 devices that connect to it, and have noticed any speed drop off.

I had the previous generation version of the Airport Extreme with several Expresses that I was using as extenders. I find with this one as my base station I don't need all the other Airport Expresses. Worth the upgrade.

Probably the best wireless router we've ever owned. As with all Apple products, it's very simple to set up and get it started. We have been very impressed with the increased connectivity speed since we setup our new Airport.

I replaced a high end Cisco router with the AirPort Extreme on the advice of a Best Buy team member. The set-up was easy and fast and the performance has been outstanding. Apple did it right. However, if you are very technical and want some of the administrative capabilities of the Cisco, this device will not meet your expectations. This is a really good home use router for someone that does not want the advanced capabilities.

Small in physical size, but it works for several computers (six) in one location. Covers entire home office location plus another acre or two. Super easy set up, it worked immediately after following the simple steps. Instructions were simple, but paper size of them could be bigger. It provides a very fast connection and download speed, and I use it for media heavy and standard web pages. Perhaps another color choice would be nice, but Apple is known for white format. I would definitely recommend it for home or small business.

Takes a few minutes to set up, and it works great no problems so far, but this is not for you if you want to fully administer your network like MAC filtering and many other security options are not available on here.

I've only had the Apple Airport (AA) for about one month and it's working really well. I've had a couple of incidents where I've been booted off, but compared to my constant issues prior to the AA installation, its great!

I was having many problems with my current router keeping up with the video from netflix as well as coverage of the entire house. This router has yet to freeze up and I am now able to get internet anywhere in my home.

I had to replace my previous Apple device due to a power surge that fried it. The Extreme was easy to install and was up and running in no time. Outsanding device!

You need a stronger signal in your house to make all your internet devices work at their peak? Yes, please. THIS magic white box is the traffic cop of internet signals. Set up is AUTOMATIC, as in...turn on and click "connect" and it does all the work. No searching for DNS numbers, connection permissions or WAP hand-shakes. Turn on, seconds later you are back to cruising down the internet highway with no signal loss. Yes, just exactly like magic, this box WORKS right out of the box!

I was not getting the wifi speed or internet speed I was paying for until I purchased this item. I was getting a 20 and paying for 100 speed. Now it is 80 over the entire home. Thanks apple again for a great product.

This product was easy to set up and haven't touched it since! In our case, it was during the day so I could call our ISP provider so they could change our router in their system. We got better coverage/ speed that way!

The wireless N band is strong enough to go through several concrete walls on the ground floor at my business and still reach the second floor as well. There have been no service drop offs or loss of DHCP addresses.

PROS - Setup is super easy. I am using two of these to provide a large AC home network. Love the Airport Utiliies app
CON - not as many features as some other routers in this price range.
Overall gets the job done
