 Great Review July 16, 2008
Dylan
Great Router. I have a PC with gigabit ethernet. A MacBook Pro with wireless n. A FreeNAS server with gigabit. An 100mb switch, and behind it i have an xbox 360 wired (with open nat), and a windows xp pro laptop.
Connection is great. I get about 400mbps on gigabit over smb. I get anywhere from 128-216 mbps on wireless. That was measured with iStat Pro, and a 1GB .mp4 file over afp.
Setup is easy as pie. Took about 10 mins to setup. The installer (Airport Utility) walks you through it step by step.
Definitely better than my old linksys 802.11b router. Also well worth $179
Fast and easy set up July 15, 2008

Got this about 2 months ago. Boy is it fast! It's as fast as if I were hooked up with the ethernet cable. I have both a MacBook and Dell laptop. It hooked up more quickly with the PC than the Macbook. MY Dell laptop took a dump and I got a new one, turned it on and it found the network with no problem at all. I'm running XP SP2 on both Dells and not a single glitch. This is leaps and bounds better than the linksys router I had to set up for the Dell. Don't hesitate to get this. You won't be sorry.
Very good range, setup a snap. July 15, 2008

This thing has excellent range, I was getting good reception 200ft away through a foot thick concrete wall. (On my iPod!) Setup was easy with no hitches, wireless printing was equally simple. My only irritation is that you have to have the management utility installed on the computer you want to administer from. The unit was surprisingly heavy and feels very sturdy. Overall I am very pleased with it.
Another fine Apple product July 12, 2008

Nothing surprising here - the AirPort Extreme was easy to set up, sends a strong signal throughout my apartment, and works great on both my MacBook Pro and my girlfriend's Acer laptop PC.
 First you see the net and then you don't and then you do.... July 3, 2008

I've read many reviews of many items on the web, and they're all subjective -- the reviewer's experience. Try this: my airport extreme worked fine for about 4 months and then it started bugging out all the time requiring annoying reconfigurations. The many suggestions on the web have not worked, and I've got to get back to my day job. Your move.
