Reviews for AirPort Extreme Base Station

Super easy ,always connected works great with my hp printer. Amazing extremely happy. I was able to connect printers and set up wifi accounts in less than 15min. The best $180 purchase ever!!!!.

I recently purchased this router to replace a linksys router I have had since 2005. I recently had a bear of a time configuring the linksys router due to the fact my wifes pc had to work on an 802.11a 5ghz signal and my other mac books and ipad were using an 5ghz N network. I cant have a 2.4 ghz network due to my cordless phones. When the linksys finally took its last breath, I prepared myself for a weekend in network configuration nightmare land. I went with the airport extreme for the dual band broadcast and ports on the back-plus we have just about everything Apple. So when I settled in on Sunday expecting to be grilled on settings all day, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Apple mantra of "it just works." follow through with the Airport extreme. I swear I must have set a record with how quickly it set up 2 separate networks plus a guest network to boot in under 20 min. Awesome! Signal strength was better and speed was faster than the previous networks. Absolutely love the airport extreme and hats off to Apple again for just making it work.

Got it today Can't be happier. The installation was a bit long but I ended up finding that i needed to restart my modem. Amazing speed, I currently have connected 2 iphones, 2 laptops, smart Tv and no problem at all. One great thing was that i connect my printer to the network. I also created a guest network for friends. Great ways to set it up with airport utility. Amazing product.The router look beautiful by the way.

Worked correctly out of the box - easiest installation of any computer product I've ever had. Very fast. Handles all my peripherals, which include old Windows XP machines, Windows Vista machine, Blu-Ray, TIVO, and of course my Macbook. Had tried a Netgear N 600 but got so frustrated at trying to connect it I returned it. Did cost about twice as much as the Netgear - but this one works and uses Americans for tech support!

I purchased this to replace a WNDR3300 that was running DD-WRT. I was hesitant at first but I needed to get more signal strength thru the house. I have an older home with a lot of lathe and plaster. The router is on the 3rd floor. With my old router large videos streaming to my apple TV 2 on the first floor buffered a lot. Now with the AE in place everything streams perfectly. Many of these videos are 720p as large as 10gb. Very happy with this purchase.

Dissatisfied with the loading speed of my internet connection, my son, who has become quite computer savvy, suggested I get the latest AirPort; that it might be the older AirPort slowing down the speed. He mentioned the latest AirPort has two channels which would speed things up. I ordered it. Device and instructions in hand, I decided to see if I could get it up and running without him. First I made sure my computer and AirPort software were at least what the instructions said. They were. Then I used my iphone to take a picture of each page (settings) of my current AirPort setup. When I plugged in the new AirPort I got a steady yellow light. Not good. Rebooted my modem as suggested. No change. Went to the computer and worked through the software. Note: no changes will happen until you click "Apply" or whatever it says in the bottom right corner. After a few minutes I was all set, and the light on the AirPort went green. There is a noticeable increase in speed with this AirPort. I have been very happy with the purchase. Buy it.

This is the second Airport Extreme I bought. I'm using it with my old one (2nd gen Airport Extreme) to create a Wireless LAN with 2 segments. I cannot believe the speeds I'm getting!
The airport extreme series from Apple are absolutely great.
Extremely easy to set up yet powerful with no compromises.
Love it!

This is by far the easiest router to use. I have set mine up fora year and a half ago and haven't had to reset or even touch this amazing thing. Just amazing I come from history of a dozen linksys router which were terrible..

Installation was quick, in 20 minutes I had my whole network up and running. 4 telephones, 1 PS3, 1 Xbox, 4 Laptops, 2 desktops 1 Mac Pro and a Gateway desktop, and a brothers MFC 8860dn network printer. I replaced a Dlink which served me for 3 years. However, it was dropping the signal very often. The feature I like the most is how easy it gets to update the router software. You have to be a computer wiz to make an update on other routers I have owned. The only negative is that the light from the router kept me up all night because it is too bright. I have the router in my room. I will place some tape to cover it. I had an issue with my printer not printing. However after a printer factory reset it was immediately printing from all computers. I recommend this Airport Extreme 100% you will not be disappointed.

After using Linksys and Netgear routers for many years, our connection kept dropping. I read the reviews of the Airport Extreme and since we have two Macs, an iPad and an iPhone in addition to one PC that I use for my embroidery machine, I decided that Apple was the way to go. I've never regretted that decision. Since we bought the Extreme, we have not dropped our Internet connection once! It's a keeper!
