"(3) They would usually default to bridge mode, and saturate the local DHCP pool"
Is this because you're not IPing your network properly? Usually this only happens if you're handing client RFC1918 addresses in which case bridging is appropriate behavior for the router. The rest I'd say are valid complaints. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Prince" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2016 10:32:09 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: Apple abandoning development of wireless routers The biggest issues for me was that (1) they were constantly changing the UI of their proprietary "airport admin" tool, (2) The Windows version was always a few revs behind (or would not work), (3) They would usually default to bridge mode, and saturate the local DHCP pool, (4) would not allow simple adjustments to channel frequencies, (5) their admin tool was proprietary, and not just a simple web server.
