Apple AirPort Extreme 1000 Mbps Wireless N Router (A1408)

Apple Router Success

I needed to extend an existing WiFi network in my aged parents-in-law's house from an existing Apple Airport Router via Ethernet cable. This was a cinch to install, as long as you connect up the LAN & WAN ports correctly, Apple's set-up software does the rest. You have the option of extending an existing network, my choice, or creating a separate network. It is a crying shame that these Apple Routers are no longer made, as they are extremely stable pieces of kit and as long as you connect Apple Router to Apple Router are very easy to install.Read full review

Perfect range extender with print server fucntionality

Although it is only supports 802.11n wifi network, it is also a full featured printer or NAS server (via the USB port). I am using it actually as a Wifi range extender besides the existing 802.11ac capable Airport Extreme, and it works perfectly. The setup was super easy, and I don't have any issues since then.Read full review

Getting on a bit but still very good.

These routers are now ‘ancient’ in computer terms but they still ‘cut the mustard’. Easy to set up, easy to wirelessly extend a network, really good range (I can pick up a signal 20m away from the house when I’m in the garden), and handles multiple accounts and users. Great streaming high res music (24/192) to devices around the house.

Stylish too. (No horrible aerials sticking out).

It works, and works well!

It does the job I that it has beefed up network wi-fi coverage around the house. I already had a couple of Apple Airports so wanted to stick with that technology but just add to it. Which it has successfully done. Set up was dead easy too.Read full review

Good stable routers though long in the tooth in 2021

Although quite old tech now and even the next generation from Apple needs a refresh these are still amazingly good and stable routers, easy to configure, and rock solid when in operation. Great for extending wifi with access points across your property. Read full review

Excellent bit of kit

Even though the unit was second hand it looked like new. It worked perfectly straight out of the box, as new.

Classy router

It‘s a shame that Apple got out of wifi: it‘s routers are straightforward and perform impeccably.
