I do agree that the specs do not look enticing on paper, compared to say the Asus ones, but in my experience they last longer.<p>Whenever I visit my parents I usually bring replacement hardware for whatever is broken. When I first got them their Airport Extreme, I replaced it after 5 years. I got them an Asus router with a really impressive wifi range, but it broke after just 1 year. Now they&#x27;re back with the latest Airport Extreme.<p>It&#x27;s a bit pricey for the specs but it&#x27;s very reliable. I use 2 at home, that are bridged via gigabit ethernet, and they&#x27;re pretty good. My only complain is that they don&#x27;t have VLAN support (IPTV) and their wifi range is really bad.
