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 replaced the router provided by my service provider as it was not providing coverage in my entire house (approx 3000 sq ft on 2 levels). After my research and many recommendations, I decided to buy Apple Airport Extreme. While there is marked improvement in the performance of the wifi, there are still some areas where the network is not that strong. Granted that these are corners of the house but they are within 30-40 feet of the router. I was expecting that each and every corner of the house would get full strength signal but that's not the case. However, the speed is still very good and it is much better than the previous router (which was also new).

    This wireless modem performs very good. I have a tri-level home and there is no loss of signal anywhere in the house.

    Probably one of he best Wi-Fi Base Stations for your residence. Sets up easy and gives a huge range of accessibility. And of course  has an App that allows you to help with set up and to see what devices are connected to your Wi-Fi. It’s a shame that  is putting this item to rest. So get one while they last. You won’t be disappointed.

    Has nice speed even with multiple devices connected, even when streaming video. My only complaint is that the signal coverage area is not larger than the Airport Extreme Base Station I purchased 10 years ago like the salesman indicated. I still have to use another device to extend te coverage area.

    Great packaging as,usual for Apple. The set up is easy using an iPhone. I use mine with another router inside my gateway modem so I'm using the Airport Extreme as a bridge. I'm experiencing faster speeds than I had before so we are very happy with the router. If you have a mac you can adjust more advance features than other reviews said you could not adjust. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

    This was a very easy set-up. What I really liked is I was able to set up my router with my iPad. However, ensure you get the Airport Utility App to do it.

    A Must Have

    The new AirPort Extreme is simply amazing. After fighting with Verizon FIOS for more than a year about not getting nearly the speed rating I'm paying for every month, I am finally getting over 75 Mbps download speed with the new AirPort Ext. Aside from noticeably extending range, it's a must have when speed really does matter.

    Airport Extreme works like a quality Apple product

    Felt it was time to replace my older "spaceship" Airport Extreme. This new Airport Extreme has the quality one would expect of a quality Apple product. I could have spent less for a some other brand of router but often they present problems that Apple products don't have. I am happy with the product, the ease in setting it up and the 1.3 GB per second speed.

    Best router yet. Works well into my back yard where I had previously had to use an extender with lesser results. Excellent product with Apple expected quality.

    Reliable AC wireless with a simple management interface. I try new routers periodically, get annoyed and come back to Airport. If you reallly need (and most people don't) complex firewall rules you should look elsewhere, but for most people this is still great value. Excellent range, stable coverage and steady updates. And still the best looking router around.
