i-phobic, but this is a great, stable router/AP

on July 18, 2014

Posted by: hien34

from Houston, TX

I use it in...:Large home

Verified Purchase:Yes

I'm not strictly anti-Apple, but I like choices and open-architecture that Windows PCs and Android phones/tablets can give you (ex. want a phone w/a screen larger than 4.5"? Wait til Apple says you can have one - otherwise feel free to choose from any number of Android and even Windows phones!).

So besides a single iPad that's used by the baby and as an occasional Uverse remote, I didn't own a single i-item by choice.

After being let down constantly by the new AC routers out there (Linksys and Netgear) that would constantly drop out or hang (seriously not more than a day or two at a time). I have an older Uverse 2wire modem that I'm connecting to the router/AP via DMZ-plus mode (basically giving it an open port to the internet). Uverse support figured it would require a factory reset of the modem and reconfiguration and then please "try again" with the other routers. Not having time for that, I read some reviews about the AirPort Extreme and decided to try it.

Setup was easy (via an iPad) though I was underwhelmed by the configuration options. If you're used to looking at the advanced settings of other routers, don't bother...

However, the most important thing is that it has been working flawless since day 1! Not a hiccup at all with tons of devices (multiple laptops, gaming PC, PS3, Xbox360, 4 mobile phones, Ooma, 2 drop cams, 2 other security cameras, etc.). It's been more than 2 months and I am nothing but impressed.

For a device like this, I want to set it up and walk away knowing it's working all the time (especially since I use it for home/baby monitoring).

My Best Buy number: 0065432907

What's great about it: Rock-solid

What's not so great: setup via iPad, OSX or downloadable Windows utility

I would recommend this to a friend!
