    Airport: Will Apple issue fix for latest WPA2 exploit 'KRACK'?

    I guess that is the $64K question. With the Airport teams scattered to the wind, will Apple issue a fix for the latest exploit or will we all be taking our Airports to the nearest recycling center? (To add to the wishlist, since Airplay2 is apparently just a software change, it would be really...

    Is the Airport Extreme worth buying?

    Since Apple hasn't updated the Airport Extreme in a while and it looks like they will never update it considering they disbanded the team that was working on it, is it still worth buying? Is there a better alternative?

    Wrong forum, but where else to ask for 'ancient tech'? :D A friend gave me one of these old round white Airport Extreme sase stations.

    Is Apple really abandoning the AirPort Extreme?

    Today I was reminded of just how easy these things are to work with. Picked up a used 2013 AirPort Extreme 802.11ac for $45 to upgrade the 2011 model I'd been using. I plug in and press the reset button, connect to it using the utility, and am immediately prompted to transfer over the settings...
