If you’re looking for the best wireless router that is the fastest and widest range, look no further.  The Airport Extreme is the most solid router out there.  If your current Linksys, Netgear, or Dlink is not cutting the mustard, meaning your signal strength is low or not found, go the Apple route, get the Airport Extreme. 

In situations where constant router reboots where necessary or wireless extenders were not reaching duplex or townhouse floors, the Airport Extreme always seemed to provide the necessary wireless coverage.  And don’t worry, this wireless router is meant for Macs and PCs, and may be used with both.

If you want to get the Airport wireless router with an integrated 500GB hard drive, you can pick up the Time Capsule 500GB.  Or if you want to double your space, go for the Time Capsule 1TB .

All of the routers are wireless N and have the capability to plug in a USB printer and share the printer to all your computers in the apartment.  The time capsule is cool way to have a backup.  Instead of having an external hard drive to plug into your desktop, you can just wirelessly back up files to the Time Capsule’s hard drive.  This backup feature is accessible to all wireless computers.

If you still don’t get a good signal, you can purchase an Airport Express extender via Apple:

We just bought 2 Airport Express units thinking that it was needed for a 2,500 square foot apartment, but the Time Capsule alone was able to light up the whole apartment with wireless.  We recommend to try the Airport Extreme or one of the Time Capsules first, with your wireless computer, and see if that does the trick.  You’ll just need to pop in the router’s CD that comes with it and it will guide you through the setup.
