Does Airport Extreme handle 1GB internet speed?

I upgraded my wifi speed from Verizon to 1gb. What changes do I need to make to Airport Express base station so that speed is available through the WIFI network where signal is boosted with Airport Express on each floor?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.3

Airport Express have 100mbit ethernet port.. so regardless of the wifi speed the max throughput is never greater than around 95mbps.

The Extreme does have gigabit but is no where near fast enough as a NAT router.


As per Tesserax comment.. you will never see gigabit over wireless with current products.. maybe 500mbps on a good day with client device in patch cord distance to an AC router if said client has full three stream wireless card.
