I remember telling a customer he should either learn how to configure his
AirPort himself, get AppleCare, or get a regular router like a Linksys or
Netgear with a web GUI if he expected his ISP to provide step-by-step phone
support.
He said he would go out and buy a non-Apple router.
He came back with a TimeMachine.
That's another thing I hate about Apple, they have to use special names for
ordinary things, so people don't compare prices. So you don't have a
router, you have an AirPort. You don't have an external hard drive, you
have a TimeMachine.
But just like some people only shop at WalMart, some people only shop for
electronics at the Apple Store. Probably the same people who buy all their
groceries at Whole Foods.

No doubt.
The least they could do is to give it a web GUI. Beyond me why it has to
be some proprietary interface.

Plus, for reasons that are not clear to me, Apple has to change the way
the stupid AirPort admin tool works every month or two. So even if you
knew how to set it up in August; come September it's a whole new ball
game.
Software developers need to do something.
