As a hard-core Apple Airport user for a long time, the Apple stuff was great until it wasn't. For example, wanting to put the Xbox in the DMZ. You can do that on the Airports, but it's not called "DMZ" (IIRC) and it's not at all obvious. Whereas Ubiquiti is like the industrial version of an Airport or something, because if you do want to put devices in a DMZ or on a VLAN, you can do it and without a lot of effort. Of course, Ubiquiti's stuff has limitations, so the next stop is...MicroTik? Cisco?
But, yeah, if Apple had kept the Airports going, I'd have had little reason to look elsewhere, and would probably still use them.
- hot_gril 4y agoI've seen the term "default host" on other routers too, so it's fair enough. AirPort settings were pretty full-featured for a consumer device, just lacked advanced routing stuff that I'd not use in a home anyway. It started falling apart when they made the new AirPort Utility, which hid some settings. I had to go install the old version.
