Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station

I am in no way shape or form a tech savvy nor do I have the brain to hunker down to learn it all. That’s okay. This product used in conjunction with my ISP’s WiFi router is easy to set up. The hardest part is making a solid password that is cleverly not easy to copy and paste in when inputting in during initial configuration. Once that part is figured it works it’s Apple product magic and bam. I do feel better and have seen my network pick up speeds utilizing the bandwidth I pay for. It gives the options for further technical settings within the utility app. With some reading and careful implementation it reciprocates to a novice level demands. Apple does help if you use the hotline and they even emailed me instructions to get more information to learn about my product. Since Apple doesn’t make these anymore it is a refurnished product that is not direct from Apple but I have had success with refurbished products. I thought it was neat that the human being who worked on it to refurbish the product is information that is given to the consumer. Makes me feel safer if anything were to come up I can contact the refurbishing company. Back story. Using the ISP’s rented equipment my network was blah and %#^*ing atrocious also attacked multiple times with no safety security wise. Me not having a background in tech. I struggled and beat my head against the wall many nights frustrated with technology. Since an ecosystem exists for my needs it integrated seamlessly. I haven’t seen my neighbors popping up on my network and stealing WiFi since this has been implemented. Neighbors suck sometimes when you live in a large multi unit apartment complex so this added a healthy not yet obsolete infrastructure that fits my needs. I am not a tech person but this gave me the ease of mind that trash freeloading, snooping, nosey, untrustworthy, nefarious, scandalous, cheap, scummy, lowly neighbors or menacing internet trolls stay away-hopefully. Also, it provides a strong signal contained to my unit only. Not the whole neighborhood which the ISP that will I not say but the company rhymes with xtrinity. With that said the signal is strong. Even runs faster now. I had Ethernet cables with the rented product and it is only marginally noticeable that it’s WiFi. Like barely noticeable but having security stout WiFi is paramount for me. So I disengaged the MoCa network, turned off the WiFi on the rented ISP’s device and tinkered with settings within the network administrator features to ensure the purchased device is the place the WiFi works properly . I explained that as best as I could and I am sorry if that does not make sense. But this device works. It’s running perfectly fine and I am thoroughly grateful that it exists. Thank you Apple and the company who refurbished it. Don’t forget the utility app from the App Store to maximize the productivity of your devices. My small yet happy Apple ecosystem is humming along smoothly. Yall rock (company who refurbished it.) 🤓
