/g/ has to admit this is a good product.
>>54896202
that's roughly the opposite of a good product

/thread
>>54896202
Well, I refuse to admit anything, so your ``complete /g/ admission'' will never happen.
muahahahahahahahaha
I have one. It's shit.
>>54896238
he nailed it
What's it for?
>>54898980
Wireless router with a built-in hard drive and compatibility with OS X's bundled backup utility
>>54896202
Holy shit I hate these so much. I have to configure enterprise equipment to accommodate all their horseshit special snowflake network protocols. Everyone who buys them is a douche about it and acts like AirPrint and iCloud are hot shit that Apple invented, and it's my fault when nothing works with them.
>>54898980
>>54899015
It is also a very outdated router. I wish I never bought my AirPort Extreme. I am due for a proper upgrade.
>>54898980
>>54899015 here. Only the Airport Time Capsule has a built-in hard drive for backup. The OP's pic (Airport Extreme) does not have a hard drive. However, it has a USB port, and if you plug in a hard drive, you can use it for backup.
>>54899090
What's outdated about it?
>>54896202
Performance is ok, but don't like how you must use airport utility to configure the thing. The orientation of those ports makes it harder to remove cables sometimes, due to the location of the retention clip.
Currently planning on replacing my old 2008 airport extreme with a new PC Engines APU2. I don't need wifi that much, and I can configure it however I want. Will probably just set it up with a plain old GNU/Linux distribution or Open/FreeBSD.
I burst into laughter the first time I saw the thing.
I couldn't help but think of pic related.
I'm a fucking macfag and I think this is ridiculous.
Do they have a fetish for trash cans ?
>>54899127
>What's outdated about it?
On /g/ you don't have to argue against apple products at all. You just state the same old outdated/expensive/hipster lines hoping for approval.
>>54899127
What's not outdated?
It uses USB 2.0
AC 1300
Released 2013
That's just off the top of my head. The price is not justified.
>>54899146
hmm i wonder if this is a shop
>>54899161
And paper weights as I would understand it, you can spend thousands on these "macbook air" editions of paper weights and it's mystifying. Why would I want my paper weight to be LIGHT weight? Clearly it's not going to do anything else I need it to.
>>54899190
Tangential question, unrelated to Apple discussion: what are speeds for 802.11ac like in the real world?
>>54899195
Well duh, that's the point. Current apple shit is on par with eight year old jokes.
>>54896202
>>54896238
>roughly
>>54896202
its bad performance wise and not manageable
>>54896202
/g/ will never admit that.
/g/ is like the tea party reacting to democrats.
>>54896202
totally not advertising
>>54899268
*molests*
>>54896202
No, it's not. Because you can't even access it via the fucking web browser. You need to install a fucking program on your god damn computer just to be able to change the settings on it.
Fuck Apple's routers and fuck the faggot ass OP.
>>54896202
I like Apple but nah.
>>54899190
>It uses USB 2.0
Fair, I suppose.
>AC 1300
???? 802.11ac is the latest and 1300mbit is fake shit anyway.
>Released 2013
So what?
>get a sub-lease
>ask my new roommate about the wi-fi

*-WRT is the only way to roll for small routers
>>54896202
I have an asus ac5300
>>54899190
Wireless AD is rolling out
>>54900904
Hardly.
>>54896202
The most expensive router you can get
>>54900904
Have you seen any articles on if 60ghz band can even penetrate a wall? AD is probably going to be line of sight.
>>54900929

>meh performance

>can't even fucking wall-mount it or rack-mount it
It's the biggest piece of shit router on the market. Literally a same-price Belkin/Linksys/Netgear/Etc is better. Because nearly everyone else offers far easier ways to configure their routers, mount them on a wall/in a rack, and/or allow for/have the ability to take good 3rd party firmwares for advanced features.
These need to die.
The Airport Express at least is small, and works well for a mesh network for consumer usage, and is reasonably cheap for a in-store available item that looks unoffensive and does a decent job. The Extreme, though, can die. I don't need a router that runs the same OS as a fucking mars rover.
>>54896202
It's good as a wireless access point since it is one of the fastest, if not the fastest.
but the software for it is trash, so it's best to only use it as an AP
>>54901407
>AC1300
>fast
That pile of shit is just that, a pile of shit.
>>54896202
I'm pleasantly surprised at how good it is, but the price doesn't justify it. Especially when you consider that the HDD interface is proprietary.
>>54901407
Ac 1300
>One of the fastest
Maybe 3 years ago.
>>54901439
>>54901446
it's faster than most ac 1750 routers, including the enterprise ones.
>>54901462
>faster than technical limitations of the spec
2 rupees have been deposited in your shit eating hands Rajeesh.

Can you do anything but spam shit memes?
UniFi ap's are better
>>54896202
I've got an Airport Extreme at work, one of the older ones without the hard drive. It's a steaming pile of shit. It's slow, stops working randomly, won't play nice with the cameras or firewall, and you have to install an app to change it's settings
>It's more secure than a web interface
It would probably be okay in an applel ecosystem, but all the computers are running windows or linux
>>54901525
Can you do anything but spam meme products?
>>54901659
I've done no such thing.
