Works great! Setup challenge.
My refurbished product works great. I couldn't tell difference between refurb and new product packaging. Very nice looking. Excellent range and solid consistent internet/wifi connection. The wifi connection is quite strong even at furthest point from base station separated by two floors at opposite end of house. I am very pleased with the product and highly recommend it!The only reason I rate it 4 instead of 5 is that it took me hours to set up since it would not connect to internet through my cable modem. After a lot of research and even speaking to Apple support, I found an obscure online post regarding changing the Router Mode on the Airport Extreme Utility from "Off (bridge mode)" to "DHCP and NAT". I believe that is a fairly common setting, so should probably be mentioned in the setup instructions. Would have saved me hours of setup time if I knew to look for that up front. Simple setup aside from that.

El equipo que me llegó jamás fue intervenido, ya que estos productos son hasta cierto punto “herméticos” no tiene marca de haber sido palanqueado para abrir (ya que es la única manera de acceder al interior) es un equipo de USO, solo trae una ligera muesca, de ahí en fuera no tiene problema alguno.
