Different apple airport models1/4/2024 ![]() ![]() It's not that clear from the raw model which is which, but if you have the box or you can access the base station via the Airport Utility then you can find out if you have gigabit ethernet or not. Apples newest AirPort Extreme Base Station model A1521 (and the related Time Capsule) doesnt just represent an 802.11ac upgrade its latest router also underwent a complete redesign. The other way is via the Airport Utility, which can identify if it is a gigabit ethernet model or the older version.

There is nothing else on the box which mentions gigabit ethernet. One on the box the base station came in, the model will be identified by the part number. The problem arises that though they have different part numbers, MA073LL/A for the original version and MB053LL/A for the newer gigabit model, both models share the same model number, A1143.
