The more expensive models like Asus and Synology do update their firmware regularly. I recommend any model you decide to buy just type the model number into google and search with "apple issues" or "bonjour issues" or "airplay issues" And support advice from Netgear was totally wrong to the point of not understanding at all. worked fine with PC but actually had major network problems with Macs. Netgear for one has some products out there that simply cause issues. Not all products are tested in Apple environments.Įxample. But AC wireless has come a long way and the more recent versions work better than earlier versions by a large factor. so buying latest greatest wifi routers with matching price tags to avoid being left behind is seldom a good idea. And almost no products that need wifi offers AX clients yet. AX for example has a lot of bug fixing to go before it is ready for mainstream. It is worth buying better end and more recent products. I do recommend them for people who need a cheap vanilla router that will last a few years in a non-demanding situation. The design life expectency is fairly low. None have more than a bug fix firmware or two released. Even the C3150 is hard to get hold of now in Australia and we usually get the tail end of most products runs dumped on us. Some models like 17 are likely in runout sales. I have used TP-Link products extensively over the years. Even some of the major brands really spend very little time once a product hits the market and the bugs are fixed. There is always a premium on leading (bleeding) edge.Ĭheap end Chinese products tend to have fairly limited support. or specialised units or mesh kits for sure.Ī lot of products like AX will come down as mass production brings costs right down. Latest AX spec wifi routers will reach those sort of prices. and they were far from the most advanced devices on the market. I'm shocked at the prices of some current WiFi routers, many of which are close to $400. (It will because Apple routers were never power house wifi devices.) So when you buy the new router try turning off the extender and seeing if the new router has better coverage. I already have a range extender in place (TP-Link model).Īvoid range extenders as much as possible.

Also can access it from a Web browser for configuration, which I want.Īll routers (except Apple and some pro Cisco) use Web interface even if command line or special software is also used.Īpple was very unusual in using an unconventional interface for no gain that I can see.
