I tested an Express here at the far end of the house, and on a 100 Mbps Internet connection, the Express produced about 35-40 Mbps on wireless using either a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz connection. When I connected the AirPort Extreme back up it was running consistently at 90-95 Mbps on wireless, and a bit higher on an Ethernet connection.

The Apple AirPort Express is a device that can stream music to speakers or a stereo using AirPlay and iTunes. The means that although you may no longer be able to use it as a Wi-Fi router, you can still use AirPort Express as a Wi-Fi extender for some devices and its life has also been extended and expanded for use as a streaming reception Close observers of Apple's networking products—surely they exist—know that the company hasn't updated its Airport line of Wi-Fi routers since 2013.That's so many iPhones ago! This week The Good Apple's new compact and beautiful AirPort Extreme Base Station supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi, is easy to use, and offers solid performance.. The Bad Other than the new design and 802.11ac Apple has long had a leg up by offering a friendly face for Wi-Fi router configuration, especially compared with the web-based administrative frontends for most other devices.

D-Link EXO Mesh AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router (DIR-X1560) Review 3.0 The D-Link DIR-X1560 is an under-$100, but relatively bare bones Wi-Fi 6 router that delivers decent 5GHz performance though its 2.4GHz Don: I struggled with this problem after Comcast installed a powerful new wireless router combo in our house. All my AirPort Express units went non-functional, and I tried every "restore to factory settings" combo under the sun. Ultimately, I believe Apple and Comcast devices aren't made to work together.

The speed is super fast and you can print wireless from any of the devices connected to the router.
