Easy wireless networking
Connect your DSL or cable modem to the AirPort Extreme Base Station, then quickly set it up with the easy-to-use AirPort Utility, which is available for both Mac OS X and Windows. Within minutes, you and up to 50 others can use your Macs or PCs to surf the web, stream video, share photos, and more — without wires.2
Up to 5x the performance, 2x the range
AirPort Extreme uses next-generation 802.11n wireless technology3 and features multiple antennas to deliver maximum speed and range throughout your home, classroom, or small office. You can enjoy up to five times the performance and up to twice the range of 802.11g wireless networks.1
Print without wires
Have several computers in your home or office but only one printer? No problem. Just connect a printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station and the printer instantly becomes available to everyone on your wireless or wired network. (See system requirements.)
Share your hard drive
Now you can share an external hard drive over your wireless and wired network by simply connecting it to the USB port on your AirPort Extreme. Called AirPort Disk, it's perfect for sharing files, making backups, and more. You can even connect multiple drives and printers using a USB hub (sold separately). (See system requirements.)
Strong security and access control
Rest easy — AirPort Extreme takes strong measures to prevent unauthorized intrusion into your wireless network. It offers a built-in firewall and supports industry-standard encryption technologies including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP. Yet it's still easy for authorized users to connect to it, thanks to its simple setup utility and powerful access controls.
Works with iPhone, Apple TV and more
AirPort Extreme works flawlessly with Apple TV for wireless video and AirPort Express for wireless music. It's compatible with 802.11a/b/g wireless clients. And because it's dual-band, it works on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz spectrum, reducing the chance of radio interference.
