I have an airport extreme purchased in 2015 and an Airport extreme
purchased several years ago, both duel band, acting as a relay, working
in a 5000 sq ft house with no problems at all. Extremely reliable and
strong signal everywhere. You most likely have a different problem not
related to using the extreme. Is your internet connection working well.
For over a year I had problems with my server company providing the
speed I was paying for, to my airport. When this got fixed ( they had
too many users on the line to my house that were dragging down the data
rate) mine works like a charm. We can take our iphones, ipads and apple
macbooks any where in the house and they work with a strong signal. I
have a central printer on the wifi and they can all use it as well as
three IMacs. John

I, too, feel that my airport extreme provides very poor wifi throughout the
house which is not very big. It is a dual band model and I 'm surprised that
it is so poor. So i'm saving up to get a netgear router with AC capabilities
as my macbook pro is AC as well, and I shall use the Netgear d7000 as the
wireless point and airport extreme to extend my network.

Hi!
I see a lot of people on the internet having an airport extreme and having big
problems with it.
But i know to little about this so i wont state anything.
The only thing i know is that sometimes i get a very very low speed on my
network.
However i have changed so in january i will get 100mbps instead of 8 mbps dsl.

I’m surprised to hear that AirPort is giving you trouble. In my experience
they will do upwards of 200 Mb/s. Do you have a connection faster than this?
Nowadays, because AirPort has a poor PPPoE implementation that doesn’t do baby
jumbo frames or native IPv6, I use my own Linux-powered router (a Mac Mini, in
fact). AirPort is now used just for providing wireless bridging. However, if
I were still on cable, I’m pretty sure I’d still be using AirPort for
everything. If you want to know who I’d recommend instead of Apple, I’m afraid
the answer is that, in spite of all the evident need, the market just doesn’t
seem to provide any equipment—even top-end equipment—that doesn’t suck as a
consumer router, is some capacity or other. But, at a pinch, Draytek do very
good work, with a nice feature set, albeit with the typically incomprehensible
documentation in broken English.
Since you mentioned Raspberry Pi, consider all the options involving a machine
with two NICs (one of which may be external), such as PFSense. It would also
be possible to use a Mac in this capacity, although I’d think hard before
dedicating a machine to such a task. The idea here is that you run the
software necessary to perform the firewall function. If you are up to this,
you will need to get your hands a bit dirty.
