I worked at Apple for 21 years in Comms QA and I had good times working with the AirPort base station guys. The tower AirPort Extreme was a great unit and I still have one brand new that I bought when I heard Apple was ending production. It doesn’t support all of the current bells and whistles, but it was just a good, solid unit. Sadly, the base station team has been scattered to the winds, but I memba.

Thank you. I have two of the towers, connected with ethernet. Full coverage of everywhere I care about, and they hand-off wifi calls seamlessly. I dread the day they die....they just work and full AC speed reliably.
