Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n (1st Generation) Pro Reviews

ITreviews‘s review Edit

Apple's take on 802.11n wireless is both interesting and unusual and holds plenty of appeal if you're mixing Apple and Windows hardware in an unholy alliance. It's a shame that you can't use the USB printing and storage features together, but presumably this would have increased the price. As if that has ever fussed Apple before.

The new AirPort Extreme base station looks awesome and has a useful USB port for connecting printers and drives. Signal strength and wireless range are stellar. The overall results in computer-to-computer data transfer tests show that the 802.11n protocol, at least with this AirPort Extreme, come close to half the speeds of wired networks. That’s an impressive feat. Major kudos to Apple for these positive points!

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

It won't come as a shock to learn that Apple takes an individual approach with its AirPort Extreme Base Station. The least surprising aspect is the shiny white styling that looks very similar to the Apple TV unit, while the external power adapter looks like a giant iPod Shuffle. Naturally there are no crude projecting antennas to sully the clean lines.

We don't recommend it for those with lots of older wireless equipment, but if you're exclusively Mac or have newer Mac and Windows computers and devices sharing a network, consider the AirPort Extreme.

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

This is a solid wireless router for all-Mac and mixed Windows/Mac networks. But if you run all Windows (or any flavor of Linux), you can get better features for less money.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking, and works well for their homes. Savvy Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their bucks.
