Any recommendations on what an Airport Extreme user should move on to if they're looking for something similarly easy to set up?

- CharlesW 8y agoAlthough Netgear Orbi setups do have a full-featured web UI, you can also just stick to the mobile app for an Airport-like setup and management experience. I replaced my router and helped a neighbor replace theirs. After a few months of use, I have no complaints.
- as-j 8y agoMoved to an Eero on the weekend. Just wanted WiFi that works. Felt like a very Apple unboxing and easy setup. Performance seems good. But that’s 1 data point.
- givinguflac 8y agoI’ve yet to find a router that is as easy to set up and works as well. Asus routers are decent if you spend the time to configure, but there are tons of options. I use Asus with the Merlin open firmware and it’s great. I’m not aware of any router that supports wpa3 yet. Edit: FWIW, mesh is the new hype, but it still can’t beat wired access points.
- Tijdreiziger 8y agoMost routers nowadays are plug-and-play. A pre-set SSID and password come printed on the router, so there's no need to configure anything (unless you would like to change settings, of course).
