Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easy setup, reliable performance
This is my 4th Apple Airport Base Station. The airports have been easier to set up, easier to maintain and have performed more reliably in both OS X and Windows networks than any other brand I've used. Through the years, we've gone through multiple products from Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, SMB and Buffalo. The Airports have been by far the most reliable and easiest to set up and maintain.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good solid router
I've used this router for a few months now. 3 Macs, Airport Express via ethernet, Squeezebox via ethernet and a Netgear switch. All wifi devices are 802g. The house is tough on wireless due to layout and plaster walls sheathed in metal. It is a good router, albeit pricey.

Pros:

Build quality and design. Probably typically Apple: eventual replacement will be caused by technological obsolescence versus dying like all the other routers we've had.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AirPort Extreme
I have had several different routers in the past this is the first that has compelled me to actually write a review. We used to have a saying in the Navy "Don't want to hear about the Labor pains, just want to see the Baby."

Some other routers require constant resetting making VOIP phones or a home Wifi network impractical. This was a breeze to set up (and I am not a Tech Guru) and just like ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
The item was shipped from Amazon. It arrived, plugged it in, followed instructions, and never got light to come on (green)indicating that is was operational. I called Amazon and Apple, was told had to take it to an Apple "genius" in an Apple Store to verify it was inoperative to get a new one. Had to make appointment to see "genius", no appts until following day. So my time, multiple phone calls, my gas money to get replacement. Amazon should have authorized return to them overnight and sent me one ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Great router. If only it had lasted longer.
I bought this router last October. I was very happy with the ease of setup and superior performance. Unfortunately after 10 months of trouble free operation I was assaulted by the telltale smell of burning electronics and no internet connection. The thing completely burned up. I really liked this router but I'm not sure that I want to spend another $180.00. I guess I'll have to think about it a little more.
