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.

    This unit is exactly what I was looking for. My house is going Apple, two iPhone 5's, iPad 4 and a couple of access points.. The rest of the house, tv's, blue ray players, PS3 & 4 and laptops/net books were all easy and fast to connect. My signal improved thru out the 2600 sq. ft. house. The Apple app is easy to use and understand for any level.

    I've used apple airports for years. This one replaced an old airport extreme 2nd gen. I use it as the primary and a airport extreme 5th gen as a bridge. It works really well.

    I love the ease of use this product has, it's fast and easy setup is what attracted me to this station, and also that it actually is a great product I've noticed better wireless stability and stable speed since I started using AirPort Extreme.

    Don't listen to Best Buy about extenders or replacement modem routers that will "work better", but cost as much. Especially if you run other Apple products like Apple TV, this extends your modem's range and speed in a way the replacement modem router or extender did not - Best Buy's first two recommendations. Plus, Apple supports it should you need help between it and other Apple products.

    We were experiencing terrible wi-fi using the Time Warner model/router that came with our 50Mbps internet speed ... poor wifi was killing the speed, and it couldn't handle all the devices we wanted to use (around 10 apple devices). The apple wifi with a new model/router has significantly improved our speed, and so far we've had no problem with devices connecting and/or getting dropped. It covers more of the house, too.

    I was having problems with drop out while using Air-Play. The AirPort Extreme has improved this greatly. This is the only router I would recommend for Apple enthusiasts.

    Much faster than my previous airport extreme, very easy setup, and allows me to use my internet speeds to the fullest. Of course, the one hitch here is this product may be a bit overpriced.

    I have two AirPort Extremes daisy-chained for coverage from a detached office and down into the house. The AC wifi has a much stronger signal than the old wireless-n. Set-up was incredibly easy and I really like the app that you can download to monitor the devices. My last several wi-fi routers were Linksys. Set-up was much harder, the daisy-chaining didn't work as well, and updating the software was a nightmare.

    The only thing I have bad to say about the Airport Extreme wireless base (router) is you must set it up with an apple device first, then it works fine with your PC. It doesn't tell you that on the box or is not explicit in the instructions. After about 15 wasted minutes it set up very quickly using my i-pad.

    Best Apple Airport ever

    I bought this airport from my local Best buy store. My old airport finally gave up. I needed something now and didn't want to wait for ordering on line. Best buy price matched a online business which saved me about six dollars. It's not a lot but it covered part of the tax and I have it now. Went home and had it running in about 15 minutes. Simple hook up and set up. Works awesome and it has better range than my old airport.
