Abstract: Compared to a wired ethernet cable, WiFi has always been tragically slow – with the arrival of 802.11ac , the newest WiFi standard – that might not be true anymore. AirPort Extreme is Apple's dual-band router, which means it broadcasts both at 2.4 and 5 G...
New tall design. The latest MacBook Airs are the only Apple devices that currently support 802.11ac. No new features.
If you don't have the latest MacBook Air, there's no reason to upgrade... yet. Otherwise, the AirPort Extreme continues to offer superior ease of use, at the expense of a few advanced bells and whistles. Product AirPort Extreme (2013) Company Apple...

No web admin, USB 2.0 vs. USB 3.0, 3 LAN ports vs. 4, File Sharing not reliable with Windows
To sum up, I'll let the Router Ranker detail tell the tale. The AExAC ended up with a #6 rank and total rank score of 5.0 This puts it below all of the current-generation AC1750 class routers, except for the very disappointing TRENDnet TEW-812DRU. It also...

Idiot-proof, wireless setup. Revamped design boosts performance. Attractive form factor. Supports 802.11ac. Excellent performance in the 2.4GHz band.
Throughput trails leading 802.11ac routers in 11ac mode. No Web management interface. No granular control over Wi-Fi network. No USB 3.0 port. Only three LAN ports. Slow data transfer rate between USB connected HDD and new MacBook Air
With the new AirPort design and the inclusion of 802.11ac, it's plain to see that Apple is taking steps forward with its networking devices. Cupertino's latest AirPort Extreme is not on the bleeding edge, as far as speeds and feeds go, but it is beautifu...
Apple's new compact and beautiful AirPort Extreme Base Station supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi, is easy to use, and offers solid performance
Other than the new design and 802.11ac, there are no other improvements over the previous generation. The router is inflexible and offers no support for Time Machine backup or media streaming via the USB storage
Home users, especially Apple fans who own 802.11ac-enabled devices, will love the new AirPort Extreme for its all-new elegant design, ease of use, and great performance; advanced users should look elsewhere for more features and customization.
