 Great router for the money May 18, 2010
J. W. Frazee (Anderson, IN United States)
I love this wi-fi base! The ONLY drawback is, because its age, I cannot upgrade my Mac OS beyond its current one: Leopard. Otherwise, it's fantastic! I can take my laptop anywhere in the house, behind closed doors, even outside and still have an excellet signal!
 It's from Apple. What's not to like? April 17, 2010

This little router has been working flawlessly for me
since the day I bought it.
I had to do very little set-up out of the box. It never
drops me and the range is great. I can wander around my
yard with a laptop and not loose the signal.
I wish it was 80211.N capable, but that's not an issue
right now as I use my N rated iMac plugged into the
ethernet port, and the laptop I use isn't N compliant
anyway.
Beside all that, it's from Apple and looks cool as
can be! Not your average ugly router ~

The wireless network is easy to set up using the airport utility. The connection strength is also very good.
You want the "extreme Extreme," not merely the Extreme. (What's in a name? Answer: the letter "n") November 27, 2007

[I feel a bit like Richard Dreyfus in "Close Encounters." I had just reviewed "The Maharishi Effect" and consequently had the domes of Vedic City, Iowa in mind, which in turn led me to the now unfashionable dome of the "old" Airport Extreme. Less preposterous, in any case, than playing with my mashed potatoes.]
Amazon is still listing this as a new and current product. Moreover, it's 50 bucks cheaper than the other Airport Extreme base station and has more as well as higher consumer approval ratings. No wonder some Apple wi-fiers are so confused.
If you have purchased a new Apple laptop or desktop machine in the last six months, it comes with the 802.11n Wi-Fi adapter installed and ready for action--provided you match it up with a compatible wireless router. The one you're looking at is 802.11a, b, g protocol. It'll probably work fine with your new Mac, but you won't be realizing the benefits of the "Draft N" standard which the new Mac is all primed for. Hard to swallow, but you pretty much have to retire this Extreme base station and replace it with the costlier Airport "more" Extreme base station (802.11n). That little letter "n," according to Apple, expands band width sufficiently to assure five times the speed and three times the coverage of your old wireless connection. So best make sure your purchase of a new machine is "not for nothing"--pick up the right router (the squarish one, not this dome-shaped model).
Reality check re: Apple's claims: I can't say that I've noticed astonishing differences, though I'm definitely not losing as much signal strength when I wander to the opposite side of the house with my laptop. If you have an older machine and don't plan to update its firmware, the pictured Airport (less) Extreme will most likely do you just fine. For that matter, forget what I've just written: to be none the wiser is to be neither more nor less happy.
