    Like most apple products the execution of what the product does is excellent. WiFi range is solid, stable and fast. but also the ability to tweak things is nearly impossible. You have to go with apple's "vision" of how to use it. Can't use wifi as a wan, can't monitor wired connections, or wireless that aren't apple products. "it just works" is a great slogan and fine concept for the vase majority of users, just not everybody

    Apple's AirPort Extreme is easy to setup and configure with any modem. Also, can be extended with AirPort Express wifi routers

    I have been missing out. My last router was purchased in 2008. Technology has changed. With my old router I was at 30mbps and now with this one....yes...it's true....128mbps without increasing my cable provider plan. Thanks apple and bestbuy :)

    No problems whatsoever with this base station, super fast and a very long range. It's an Apple, anything else to say?. Thanks Best Buy for offering it.

    It connects well to our other apple products. I'm just disappointed older non-Apple smart phones can't connect to it for some reason. My husband said it is because it has WPA2 security so older phones can't connect to the wifi. Buyers be warned.

    I plugged it in and within minutes it was recognized by Airport Utility, it identified that I already had a previous Airport Extreme and asked if this was replacing the older model... It then moved all the setting to the new Airport Extreme wirelessly... All I needed to do was switch the cables from the old Airport Extreme to the new one and the network was back online. In addition to the faster ac protocol, the coverage seems better and a little longer range.

    I had an AirPort Extreme a few years ago at a previous residence and was very happy with it. I recently was having issues with a modem/router combo from my internet provider (ex. connectivity, apple products stalling when browsing, unable to AirPrint). Then I switched to this modem and a separate router and all issues were resolved. I also couldn’t believe how easy it was to set up the AirPort Extreme. It took less than five minutes and I was able to do it from the settings app on my iPhone.

    Replaced an older Apple Router with this one. Signal strength is much higher. No complaints, except for the price. But I suppose you get what you pay for.

    We have all Apple products in our house and the AirPort works great. I haven't heard any complaints when friends and family are over using non-Apple products. No news is good news.

    The Apple wireless airport base station has been a wonderful easy to use router. I have had about 5 Airport routers over the years and I always have had a great experience with them. Easy to set up, long range and even sort of good to look at.
