Apple has some great products and this one is no different. I wish I had this one a long time ago.I can pick up my strong wifi connection on my laptop out on my boat where I dock it in my backyard. It is just like being at home.I hope this helps in your decision in your future purchases. Thanks.
I cannot say enough good things about this router. strong signal throughout my house.
like others, I have had issues with my old router crashing once a month. This issue got progressively worse as I started to upload large movies to youtube.
I have suffered from countless issues from previous routers. no more hard resets.
problem solved with the apple airport extreme base station. I bought one used on amazon and have been thrilled with the performance.
works very well with my apple tv. LOVE IT.
Coverage extends well into the parking lot from my apartment so no problems there. I just wanted to use the internet and I got it.
I bought the product used and had trouble setting it up to begin with since there was already a password protected network in place, which I didn't realize. Of course installation instructions are intended for bought-new products so I had to do some research to learn how to reset (once I even figured out why I couldn't find the network).
This product, in apple fashion, has performed perfectly with no extra attention from myself. Exactly what I needed since I don't care about custom settings and specifications.
This isn't a fault of the product however, but a result of buying it used. Once setup the wireless router has worked flawlessly for over a month with no extra attention.
Speed is excellent when simultaneously using Xbox 360 (wired) and three laptops (wireless). Very satisfied with the product.
Because of the instant success with the Linksys using the same techniques I can't help but feel the Extreme the weaker unit. Laptop from farthest end of house-and prints off my old HP 2410, sharing from my mac desktop mini.
after much fussing it would seem to work- but after closing Safari I would have to re-run the disk to find it again. Much less luck with my Mac Laptop iBook G4 I don't know what I could have done wrong or anything else I might have tried.
Brand new out of the box after running the disk I could not get my mac mini to find it. Flew perfect out of the box.
Returned for refund - restock fee. Got a Linksys Wireless-G Router.
I too am an Apple fan and have had no luck with an Airport Express either. I tried.
There are VERY few configuration settings that you need to tweak, which was almost disappointing at first, but very typical of Apple. I use it with a Nintendo Wii, Macbook and several other devices including a G1 phone, Sony PSP, Ipod Touch and several non Mac computers. I've had the router almost a year. Like most products from Cupertino, it is as close to plug and play as a router can get. The router has NEVER, repeat NEVER needed a reboot. It runs in mixed mode to support N/B/G wireless connections and is FAST. The router's connection works throughout the house, basement and guest house as well as when sitting in a car parked on the street. On a typical night, this router is handling World of Warcraft, a movie on Hulu, surfing on the G1 and god only knows what else on the rest of the devices all at the same time, flawlessly.
