  1. Smartman

    Just like new. No problems. Easy set up and great use

  2. macnight

    The Apple Extreme Base Station is the best Wifi Router on the market. However, it is a shame that when they are gone, they are gone. The refurbished one I purchased is working very well. My only complaint was that the Geek Squad didn’t rest it before shipping it to me, and it took me the better part of an afternoon to figure it out. Otherwise, I am very happy to have purchased it, and adding it to my system.

  3. JayR

    Better range than the router I replaced. Works great

  4. Robert

    This Wireless Router is absolutely wonderful…well worth what I paid for it!

  5. HuskerCJ

    I bought this and worked ok, but never got the speeds that I was hoping to achieve.

  6. 2Close

    I was a little hesistant seeing that this was refurbished, but I am happy to say that it arrived in perfect condition. The router meets all my needs and was very easy to set up.

  7. Marcus

    Easiest wireless router I ever had to set up, kinda goof proof

  8. jw12345

    Even though this item was refurb, it looked brand new and worked perfectly. I purchased it to reach throughout my whole home and it does so well.

  9. Zimazoo

    Works perfectly. Setup was fast and the usb attached drives mounted with out issue.

  10. Helen

    It is a great product and I will buy again if I need to

  11. Brenda

    I have a larger home and my iPhone was constantly searching for WiFi connectivity while in rooms furthest away from the modem. I no longer have those issues!

  12. Pompey67

    I have been deploying these for several years, maybe it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but they are reliable.

  13. ally

    like usual apple products set up is as easy as plug n play..

  14. Boli

    It’s ok, but for the price you can get a more updated device

  15. MissVanjie

    I’m not a big techie but this has worked well for me! No issues with it being refurbished at all.

  16. George

    Best router i’ve bought so far, fast and specially reliable!!

  17. CreativeMonkey

    I have two of these. One brand new and this one that was refurbished. Works as if it were brand new.

  18. Sanari

    Make sure to tell your internet provider that your Airport is apple. Good product in general.

  19. Ram1500

    As with most any Apple device works perfectly does just as it is supposed to

  20. Jerry

    Referb works great and as should with nice price tag. Works so much better than Verizon supplied wireless router which would freeze up being we are a family of 5 with a lot of WiFi enabled devises. So happy!

  21. JonnyV

    This Apple Extreme Wireless Base Station is amazing and syncs perfectly with all of my devices!

  22. Mikeinmaine

    My old router disconnected from the internet constantly. This one fixed all of the problems.

  23. Bigjoe

    Great deal on a Apple router. Been using it for a while.

  24. DK01

    I have two of these and they completely cover my whole house. They are dual band, ac routers. Super easy setup.

  25. Sara

    Easy setup and great overall product! Only missed a star because they really should send instructions with the device. Easy enough setup after finding the instructions online.

  26. Dave

    Ship to my house quickly and I was able to set it up and start using it quickly.

  27. Mark

    My purchase of a refurbished Apple extreme wireless base station was a great choice. The base station is working perfectly, and I purchased it at a great price.

  28. Susan

    Didn’t come with instructions but figured out setup after a few tries. Wish it had on/off switch.

  29. Card1

    I have always been a devoted apple product user and when my first generation apple Time Capsule started to go on me I started looking into a new option.

    I have been using this base station for some time now and love it. Since it was a refurbished model the Geek Squad failed to remove the last users settings on it so I had a bit of stumbling effort getting it removed and set up new for me. But once I got passed that it was super easy to set up and connect all of my devices. I even connected an ethernet hub to it to extend its reach out to some of my wired devices.

    The Wifi signal is very strong but I expected it to have more distance and since it is set up in the rear of my home, when I am near the front of or out in the front yard of my house the signal starts to weaken and fade out. It has yet to drop any of my connect wifi devices, nor have I had to restart it like I used to have to do regularly near the end of my old Time Capsules life.

    If I had the extra money I probably would have went with the next level up that has a built in hard drive for time machine backups. But I was able to connect a usb external hard drive and use that external hard drive to back up all my apple computers to it via time machine. Which in my opinion is kind of a better option anyway since one of the main reasons I had to get a new wireless base station was because the hard drive was failing in my old Time Capsule. And by using an external hard drive instead of an internal hard drive, it makes replacing it less expensive than replacing the entire wireless base station.

    This is a great device and essential to our family’s digital life as well as to our business needs.

  30. Bluknight1966

    This is definitely the Best Router I’ve ever used. Have not had to Reset it since I configured it the 1st day. Only thing is Apple is not making them anymore

  31. Texas

    Seriously, we have two others purchased new. There’s no difference in the refurbished 3rd one.

  32. Mimi

    all my iOS are working just great love it, it is very fast

  33. Stargatelight

    This is second router added to my home router system to increase coverage in home. Not getting into details of the system. But one great thing with the system bridges the coverage for numerous Apple devices have improved. Try it

  34. AppleADay

    This router looked brand new! Performs as it should. I finally said good bye to my cable provider router and dropped signals. Now I enjoy a stable connection and great speeds!

  35. CodedCrib

    Apple Airport Extreme is the end all of WiFi routers. Easiest setup for anyone with an iOS or MacOS device. This things is meant to last for many, many, many years to come. If you have a internet package capable of speeds greater than 100mbps and less than 1,000mbps this things will last till the end of time. You can add unlimited Apple Airports to this one hub and “mesh” your whole house together. Much cheaper alternative than the new Mesh routers.

  36. Coco

    I tested my Wii fi extension and it kept me connected one and a half blocks away

  37. Justadj

    Was concerned about this becuase they don’t support them anymore but it works great. It really helped our internet problems.

  38. johnny

    This item is still new to me, but so far so good no complaints from the kids.

  39. Ocengineer

    Like nearly all Apple products. Rock solid and easy to use.

  40. markeith

    This product as with all Apple products, worked as expected and was easy to set up.

  41. Bones

    I bought 2 of these new and took a shot at a refurbished third one
    All three work well together and in harmony
    One network…three different wired sites. Used airport utility for the set up

  42. fix2021

    Good price
    Easy to install and update
    I’m very glad to get it because i connected all my devices in my house to it
    I will recommend

  43. John

    It’s been a while since new hardware was released (now since discontinued by Apple), but they’re still getting firmware updates.
    The AirPort Extreme is still a fast base station, that’s easy to set up from an iPhone/iPad or Mac.

  44. Freezer

    Wireless base station is good. Would recommend….

  45. Elements

    I like this router even know it’s old at least it is ac WiFi so plus I wish Apple still made routers

  46. jdag

    Easy to use, very fast, and excellent range. Highly recommended.

  47. Gmija

    Noticed WiFi response was much fast than my old router when connecting Apple devices

  48. BigTT

    The Apple Airport Extreme was easiest set for a router I have seen.
    Minimal steps and you are ready to go. In fact, this router walls you through the steps and you are on. Have been using this for 2 years without a glitch.

  49. TimGoodman

    I bought this quite a while ago now and I use it everyday … it’s working great.

    So bummed that Apple stopped making these. We have several to extend the reach of our WiFi and they work seamlessly.
