Apple sells several devices that all need internet access, and they won't sell a convenient, simple thing to connect them courage I have ubiquiti stuff and it's solid but I also have no idea how to modify the default configure without breaking everything

velop is good and cool, i wish it had more ethernet ports and a usb, but the Just Works quotient is very high. the only (extremely) dumb thing is forcing you to create an account with their online remote app system thing to manage the routers

timecapsule was good, but airport firmware was objectively trash for assholes, as was requiring a specific version of the airport app to janitor your rooter instead of making a web interface like everyone ever also, everyone just uses an isp supplied cpe nowadays and if you don't it's because you're a greybeard weirdo and why on earth would apple cater to you?

airtunes on the airport express was awesome, it even had optical output and supports lossless audio sure you can do the same thing with the appletv but the express had a beautiful simplicity

tbf it makes sense in an apple kind of way. it's meant to be an appliance, there's no need to be dicking around with any settings or anything beyond the bare bones to make the internet go now that every isp just hands you a home router with wifi there's no reason for the airport to exist, except possibly for time capsule, but you should have everything synced to icloud anyway so who needs local backups?

last two AEBS iterations had ridiculously overpowered 1.5 GHz dual core Broadcom CPUs and tons of RAM, probably to meet the 50 client limit. it's also a 4 port gigabit Ethernet hub and as others have said you can hang a USB 2 hub off of it and get a shared disk and printer connection if you wanted. it has 3 MIMO antennas and with some Macs goes up to 1.3 Gbps (best I usually see is 1.0) I bought a refurbished unit for 129 that's never given me so much as a hiccup three years straight and I got another on close out at MicroCenter for $80 as backup. will probably get something different once Apple makes something with 802.11x, but to date.. they haven't

lmao. ubiquiti is babbytown frollics for admin. you install their mongo db abomination on a random PC and configure them once with a little guide that holds your had through each step. the APs are solid though, mostly, unless you have one of the firmware revisions that isn't. get yourself a mikrotik my man. now there's a combination of performance, reliability, and user hostility you don't see much these days.

I got really mad when I spent all that money on an aiport extreme and then it decided to just start losing packets and crashing itself all the time after running for a few months- quality my rear end! asus powerline ethernet 4 lyfe

and that's why airport died. it's just one more thing to set up instead of "the box my internet company gave me"Pryor on Fire posted:I got really mad when I spent all that money on an aiport extreme and then it decided to just start losing packets and crashing itself all the time after running for a few months- quality my rear end! also this is a recurring issue with the timecapsule and having to reboot it every couple of months when poo poo starts getting wiggy online is just part of the deal

you can control ubiquiti stuff with an iOS app now. there's also an option for single-ap mode so you don't have to deal with all the unnecessary remote management bits the uptime on my little erX is always from whenever the last time I lost power. it's a neat little box that I do not understand the workings of and that's fine with me

i got a ubiquiti ap and set it up and don't bother with it anymore and it works great. the most janitoring i do on my router is updating firmware now and then

another vote here for ubiquiti gear. setup was a one time thing 6 months ago. If I'm bored I can check/update the firmware using the iOS app very needs suiting

the controller only needs to run if you want to make changes or grab statistics (or run a captive portal). so just set it up once on your PC and then never launch it again
