I've had my Apple Time Capsule for a little over 4 years and I really enjoy it. If or when it craps out on me, I won't hesitate to replace it with one of these newer models.

The new routers are 802.11.ac which get you up to 1 gigabit/second throughput on the 5GHz band... the 802.11.ad will get you up to 7 gigabit/second (using 60GHz) and those products are due to start hitting the store shelves in early 2014. Of course, all of the routers need devices with matching specs to take advantage of the faster speeds on the newer standards.

So unless you’re desperate for a new router, it might be a smart move to wait a bit...

I'll wait and see if the next gen iPhone and iPad support ac and then I might upgrade my AirPort Extreme.

I just purchased this over the weekend and I'm wondering what this 1 in a red circle is beside the station in airport utility?

It's still kind of new, looks like only one person has gotten one. I'd like to get one, but I just replaced my whole HVAC system, and while my HTC One supports AC, my goto device, the iPad 4, doesn't.

I would like to know how well it works with iTunes streaming to iPads and ATV.

Is the airport extreme better then the linksys ea6500? I have it right now and can never get the speed thats good.
