You would be shocked at how good an ASUS router is comparably. I always have people tell me I have over killed my houses wifi but the speed are awesome and I own a home built in 1894 and has plaster walls.
I don't understand how a router can be simpler then just typing in the password unless your trying to accomplish something more complex.
- izacus 10y agoYup, my ASUS-AC66U can do 600-700Mbit/s over air which is pretty impresssive and a bit better than what airport extreme could.
- MrBuddyCasino 10y agoYup, the trick is simply to not buy a shitty router. I got an Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk, and its working flawlessly.
- mikestew 10y agoYup, and that trick used to be "go buy an Airport". Now the trick will be "go read a bunch of web pages and hope you make a good choice". I'm not looking forward to it when my AirPort Extreme dies.
- gchokov 10y agoHey guys, thank you for the recommendations. That was really my next question! Thumbs(votes) up!
- r00fus 10y agoI bought an Ac66u a while back (nicknamed dark knight). The thing died after 1 month. I didn't have the time or inclination to bother to return the thing (Asus support was entirely unhelpful). Sat like a dead spider in my networking cabinet as I put my Airport back into service. If Apple is indeed abandoning the router space I'm a bit disappointed and worried that leadership doesn't understand the basic needs of their average brand loyal customers.
