Probably just me coping, but I’m hoping this leads to the return of Airports. I still have an Airport Extreme I use for my router. Having one that can do proper mesh though would be a god send, and having Wi-Fi 6 support would be awesome along with a newer SMB standard for the Time Capsule.

Have you looked into GL.inet’s offerings? They use openwrt as their base and build off it.

Many are mesh capable and have a USB for easy network storage.

I think a lot of the people who were working on the Airports now work for Ubiquiti

I’ll have to look into getting a Ubiquiti once my Airport finally bites the dust because there are some QOL features I’d like to have. I’m starting to think that my airport will never die though

I’m not an airport or ubiquity user, but from what I’ve seen I would be surprised if there is anything airport can do that ubiquity can’t.

I use mikrotik for routing but ubiquiti for wifi and switching. Such a wonderful system. Set and forget.

Last time Apple tried to do modems they were clearly inferior to Qualcomm. I hope it goes better with these WiFi chips.

I hope it doesn’t, just because they’re trying to invent the wheel with their own Apple logo slapped onto it.

Pretty soon they’ll unveil their new Apple Connect modem or whatever. It’ll only connect to Apple Wi-Fi. Then after that, they’ll create their own Apple ISP, which will only work with Apple modems.

I hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t put it passed them.
