    A must have for this family!

    • Written by from DACULA

    We have a house run by Apple. Between the kids, my parents, the Mac mini the iPhones, the iPads, the iPod touches, the Apple TVs and friends that come over to visit, it is such a blessing not to worry about signal strength. At any given time we can have 15 to 20 users of various devices doing anything from gaming to homework to downloading music. And it is our back-up. The kids can come home from school and sync and backup the days work without fear. Love it! A must have for this family! We would not live without it.

    Great Product

    • Written by from Fairfield

    My old router was dropping signal about every third day, so I decided to upgrade. After a ton of research, I selected the AirPort Extreme Base Station. The setup was simple and took about 10 minutes in all. I am running 2 iMac's, a MacBook Pro, an iPad and 2 iPhones without issue. Great speed and extremely reliable. The coverage is great upstairs, downstairs, and in the backyard. Highly Recommend!!!

    Fantastic

    • Written by from Columbia

    A great wireless router. My Netgear N600 was still working couldn't keep up with all the gadgets in my house. AEBS is easy to install, network set up was a cake, and can easily handle 2 iphones, 2 ipads, 2 laptops, 1 xbox, 1 PS3, and my bluray player.

    Best router ever

    • Written by from burnaby

    I love this router! It is amazing and is very very fast. I haven't had one outage yet and is better than my old router. My old one got 3 mbps and the Airport Extreme has 6.12 mbps! Everyone should get this router because it is awesome!

    Upgraded from a Netgear and will never look back!

    • Written by from Tamarac

    I previously had a netgear router which was stable but wouldnt reach to the back of my house. The extreme router reaches to the back of the house and then some. There are no longer wifi dead spots in the house. What a joy to use. And when you activate the 5GHz to work with you IPad and IPhone you notice the speeds on those devices immediately! Way to go apple! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    Can't get any better!

    • Written by from Bronx

    I bought this product with standard shipping and it arrived in 3 day. My cousin has had this router for 2+ years without any problems and the signal goes all the way to the back of the backyard. I had to switch from a netgear router because it stopped working thank you apple. You're the best!

    Amazing product.

    • Written by from Shreveport

    Easy setup and worth rating. Only had it one day though. So we'll see. But relative to my last one, "link sys", this apple product beats its derriére.

    Also, got an Appple Tv lsat night, amazing investment.

    Best Router Ever!!

    • Written by from Green Bay

    I have had many previous routers from major brand names and none of them compare to this. Better coverage and connection stability to all types of devices. Recommend this to everyone

    Best Router Ever!!

    • Written by from Ewa Beach

    This has been the best router that I have ever used! I had a Linksys, Netgear, and a Belkin before finally getting the Airport Extreme Base Station! Being a family with three macbooks and one pc, this totally suits our needs as our other routers never stay connected at all! Kudo's to Mac Products! They never die!! XD

    Easiest on the market

    • Written by from Palmerton

    I Had a netgear 600n router, It worked good I thought. But it finally just stop working. So I bought a apple extreme airport router best decision I ever made. This router is fast on line gaming is awesome. My wife and son both said this is a lot better than the old one. The beat part was it took me 5 min to set up. Love it another great product of apple.

    Made wireless so fast

    • Written by from Houston

    I had a wireless router (modem + wireless) that I got from the cable company. The speed was spotty and occasionally disconnected. I had a Roku like device hooked to the modem and was using wireless for iPad and desktop.

    I decided to get a regular modem and add the Airport Extreme. It was SO EASY to install and the wireless is now RELIABLE and FAST. It beats buying from Cisco, Linksys, and the rest, given that the quality of those products is so up-and-down. Apple Airport Extreme was such a no-brainer!

    Don't waste time and money on other Routers!

    • Written by from Bellevue

    I received my Airport Extreme today. It took me less than 15 minutes to get it all set up and everything up and running without issue. 1) Open box 2) disconnect junky Belkin 3) connect Apple product 4) Run Utility 5) admire a company that knows technology and how to please customers.

    Make your life easy. Get this Router. Your time and money are worth more. Don't waste it on pretender companies making pretender products!

    (P.S. - Apple knows how to play nice with other products, but not so much the other way around. Everything runs better on/with their products, even PC-based products)

    Top Class

    • Written by from Douglasville

    Awesome router. Although the price tag is rather high, it is definitely worth it. I had gone through about 3 different routers trying to find one that would lag out while playing my PS3, and someone getting on NetFlix. With this router, there are 2 PS3's, 2 smart TV's, and 3 laptops running with no problems. Definitely worth it!

    What a difference!

    • Written by from Millbury

    I am changing the house over to Apple! I just installed the AirPort Extreme and the performance and range is outstanding. I switched out a Netgear 2.4gz wireless router for this and it was easy. I had one issue with the DNS entry for the cable modem and getting out on the Internet...thought that should be automatic. .worked w/charter ..everything came up very easy. You don't have to be to technical if setting up with a PC ..I could not wait for my iMac to come and decided to install the AirPort Extreme .ahead of time. iPhones, iPad, Apple TV, iMac, backup, thermostats, home automation....all in process of being setup. The range is also something that is awesome! I'm in the far end of the house...60' ...full bar strength....crazy! I have charter and getting now 22mbs / 3.4mbs up.....very good experience ..can't wait to set the rest up...

    Best Router Ever

    • Written by from Newborn

    I have delt with Linksys routers before and they have been a pain. having to change IP address and call customer support. Totally the opposite with this device. Its quick, simple, and JUST WORKS. I plugged it up, then setup everything via my iPhone and it has worked and haven't had a single problem. My older Linksys wouldn't support the speed I have (35mb/s) and this base station can do it flawless! Its simply awesome!
