I currently have the new one, but the generation before this worked just as
well. I have it on the second floor in a back corner of my bedroom. I can be
in the basement 2 floors down, on the opposite side of the house, and still get
a strong signal. Even outside and across the street I get a signal. This is
why I dump century links router, and use my airport extreme time capsule. Not
to mention it has a 3TB hard drive for my time machine backups. JMO

Hi guys
I currently have a Netgear router that doesn’t quite penetrate to the extension
of our house (perhaps because there is a double-thickness brick wall where the
outside of the house used to be) and so I have a wifi extender set up to reach
the extension. This isn’t ideal for two reasons – firstly because it’s set up
as a different network so you have to be on one or the other, and secondly
because the extender often drops out and you either have to wait or go down and
turn it off and on again.
Do the Airport routers have better penetration than the ‘average’ router do you
know? Are they higher powered or do something fancy to improve the range? And
is there any difference in this regard between Express and Extreme.
BTW I know the new one will have beaming but that would only work for an
AC-enabled device and I don’t have one of those.
Thanks, Robin.
