Fantastic Router
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
High quality interface with many top shelf features, this is not a watered down router. 11n speed is very nice, and the range is great. An added bonus is the ability to share disks and printers on your LAN.

Very Good Router
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
It is a very good Wirelees Router. I’m a PC user and I had a D-link router, but when I saw that this AirPort have the new n band and the facility to install a printer or an external disk, I decided to chenge and was fine. Work’s fine also in Windows Vista.

Works Like A Charm
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
It was a little difficult to get it working with the AT&T 2-Wire modem. I had to call in to both Apple and AT&T before I got it working. I still am not sure how it started working but it does and it works as expected. I have a hard drive connected to the network and I am very pleased with the higher level of security.

Apple Continues to Please
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Having always been a Mac fan, I’ve always looked very closely at each and every one of Apple’s products, especially those outside of their traditional “Mac” line.
Similar to others, I’ve used many different routers over the years, some from Belkin, D-link, Linksys, Netgear, and others. While all have performed quite well, I’ve always ended up having some major problem with each and every one. Most of them either just “died” or eventually performance became so degraded that I had to move on. Never has the replacement been as easy to use and hassle-free as Apple’s Airport Extreme Base Station.
From the start, it’s as simple as plugging in each of your devices, opening up the “airport utility” to configure, and you’re set. Gone are the days of 192.168.1.1 in the browser to access the router’s controls. Within Airport Utility, setup is extremely easy when running through the basic setup. There are also plenty of advanced features for those seeking additional functionality. I was able to easily change my SSID, not broadcast it, and even limit connections based upon MAC addresses.
One of the other functions, which I especially like, is the ability for the base station to automatically change the channel it broadcasts on. Where I live, everyone and their dog as a wireless network, so I’ve always had to deal with potential interference. With the Airport Extreme, I’ve set it to auto, and never looked back.
One of the major reasons I found this airport appealing over previous models was the addition of the USB port and additional ethernet ports. If I had use one of the previous “snow” airport base stations, you’d always had to have purchased an additional hub to connect more than one device/computer directly. Gone are those days with this new model.
My only regret with the purchase is that Apple later came out with the gigabit version, and then later with the Time Capsule. Luckily, they did come out with an update for Leopard enabling any USB drive to be connected to the Airport Extreme via its USB port and act as a backup drive for Time Machine.
In the end, this purchase was worth every penny. I’ll definitely continue to come back to Apple for my wireless needs.

AirPort Extreme Base Station withOUT AirTunes
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have to admit it’s my mistake, reading so many reviews turning pages between Airport extreme and Airport express I opted for the newsiest and the most expensive model (Airport Extreme Base station). Did not realize though that apple chose not to add a small tiny hole called “Air Tunes” which was the main reason for me to replace my still very good Netgear. Now I have to spend another $100 to buy Airport express with Air Tunes to get my very expensive! Wi-Fi network in-order.
For the ease of installations, speed and quality I am giving it 4 stars.

It Works, Installation’s a Breeze
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am elderly, know little about puters and nothing about wireless routers, live in mountains and had to rely solely on tech support. I researched the product, found this one to be best, and Apple walked me through a simple installation. Now I go anywhere in the house with my laptop and visit my grandchildren and have the capacity for more STUFF that I will ever need.

AirPort is Awesome
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Setup is easy and it works seamlessly without regard to OS. I have my iMac, Vista Laptop, XP Laptop (I need it for certain legacy programs that aren’t compatible with Vista), and Linux all working off the same router without any problems. Definitely the best router I’ve purchased, over Linksys and Belkin routers I’ve owned previously.
