Overview

The perfect wireless solution for home, school and small business.

Networking icon

Easy wireless networking.

Connect your DSL or cable modem to the AirPort Extreme Base Station, then quickly set it up with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is included for both Mac OS X and Windows. In minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Mac computers or PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos and more — without wires.1

Dual Band icon

UPDATED
Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi.

For maximum range and compatibility, AirPort Extreme works simultaneously on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing all the devices on the network to use the most efficient band automatically. It uses the latest 802.11n wireless technology, so you can enjoy up to five times the Wi-Fi performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.2 And improvements in antenna design give you up to 50 per cent better performance and up to 25 per cent better range than with the previous-generation AirPort Extreme Base Station.3

Guest Networking icon

Guest networking.

Set up a separate Wi-Fi network with a separate password for your visitors. Simply enable the guest networking feature, and your guests can use the Internet but can’t access other parts of your private network, such as your computers, printers and attached hard drives.

Printer icon

Print without wires.

Have several computers in your home or office but only one printer? No problem. Just connect a compatible printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station, and the printer instantly becomes available to all the computers (Mac and PC) on your wireless or wired network. (See system requirements.)

Drive Sharing icon

Share your hard drive.

You can share an external USB hard drive over your wireless and wired networks by simply connecting it to the USB port on your AirPort Extreme Base Station. Called AirPort Disk, this feature is perfect for sharing files and more. If you’re a MobileMe member using a Mac with Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, you can even access the files on the drive over the Internet.4

Security icon

Strong security and access controls.

Rest easy — AirPort Extreme takes strong measures to prevent unauthorised intrusion into your wireless network. It offers a built-in firewall and supports industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP. Yet it’s still easy for authorised users to connect to the base station, thanks to its simple set-up utility and powerful access controls.

Works with iPhone, Apple TV and more icon

Works with iPhone, Apple TV and more.

AirPort Extreme works with Mac computers, PCs, iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV and virtually all 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless devices — all at the same time.

    Great!

    Written by JB from Chapel Hill

    Oct 22, 2009

    Just works since the day I took it out of the box. No reboots, no slow service. The device is transparent - exactly what you want from a wireless netwroking device. Delivers great reception throughout the house. I keep this in a enclosed bookshelf, on top of my DVR (not the best location), and it just plugs away. No overheating, no worries. Highly recommended. …More

    Did not work very well for us

    Written by GH from Bristol

    Dec 7, 2009

    I bought this with the intention of replacing a Netgear that was only reaching half way down the kitchen. I also bought an airport express to then attach to my stereo to stream music to it in another room.

    The Extreme had worse coverage than our old netgear! And reached less distance. I called apple and after over 2 hours on the phone trying different things, the apple representative told me that we'd have to use the express to extend the network.

    So I now have to buy another express to link to the hi fi, an expense I am not that chuffed about.     …More

    Fantastic little hot router....

    Written by MD from Eustis

    Dec 6, 2009

    Actually, the Airport Extreme is a fantastic product. While I have only had it a couple of weeks, flawless. Having measured the speed of my internet connection prior to hooking it up, was exactly the same (25 mbs download and 3 mbs upload) after getting it up and running in a matter of minutes.

    My only concern, with nothing to compare it to, is that it feels hot to the touch.     …More
