Reviews for AirPort Extreme Base Station

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.

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.

Beat nearby wifi router, extremely large coverage with blazing fast transfer speed

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.

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.

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

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!

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)

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!

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...
