I got an airport router not too long ago, works well. The main advantage is that it's very easy to set up and configure. Granted, you could get routers from other brands at the same price with more features, but if it's mainly performance you want, the airport will work well. It does not have a web interface the way other routers do, and some people think this is a disadvantage, and I agree somewhat, but I have no regrets about getting it. > On Jan 17, 2016, at 3:37 PM, Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey all, > I'm considering what to do for a new, modern router.
