About the Product

Google Wifi points work with your modem and internet provider to give your devices a fast signal in every room. Unlike traditional routers and range extenders, Google Wifi can give you both great speed and complete coverage of your home. All communication between devices on your network is encrypted and your system’s security is updated automatically to give you peace of mind.

The AirPort Extreme Base Station offers Wi-Fi speeds up to 3x faster than the previous generation. It features next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi, a powerful beamforming antenna array for higher performance and range, simultaneous dual-band support, and a new vertical design with a smaller footprint.

Apple AirPort Extreme (ME918LL/A) Base Station (Renewed)

Saw 250Mbps upload the other day (I have a fast connection) over 802.11ac.
Excellent range, super easy setup, boosted up the speed in my network x 3.
Works nice. Very long range and connection speeds.
Connected this router to my network and when I ran a speed test over wifi I'm getting 120Mbps...sweet.
There are still times when the speed mysteriously drops into the 50s.

What customers say about "Network Specifications"

Apple AirPort Extreme (ME918LL/A) Base Station (Renewed)

I paired it with an ARRIS SB6183 modem and an AirPort Express to extend the signal throughout the house. I've been very pleased with the results.
You get fast speed, a guest network with it's own IP range, 5 and 2.4GHz networks.
Signal is strong, coverage/distance is great, speed is high.
Great range and speed. I have 3 ipads, 5 iphones and various other wireless devices all hooked to this thing and it chugs away with no problem.
Rock solid and provides MUCH better coverage than the older unit it replaced.
