I have to agree on the airport devices, I've got a couple of airport express One is sitting in a box not currently needed but the other is working solid as.
The only thing it is lacking to me is AC wifi But if I gues they hold off a bit longer then may be they will release a new one with AD wifi which is currently being worked on by wifi specialists. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Sent: Friday, 1 April 2016 2:07 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Ip addresses of devices in a network I have to say I’ve made similar moves recently. I’ve started using open VPN on a linux virtual host as a VPN server replacing a hardware firewall and it’s such more stable / configurable. Not as pretty of course but who cares. Your assessment of the Apple airport line is spot on. I love them as access points, and that’s it. I put a different router in front of them. I’m about to start the hunt for a new router as my service is upgrading to gigabit. Can’t decide whether sticking with consumer is where I should be at home or whether I need to move the real gear out of the lab in to the house network. > On Mar 31, 2016, at 3:06 AM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu <listse...@me.com> wrote: > > Alas, the newest base stations (AC Extreme, Time Capsule) no longer support > SNMP either, in accordance with the “Leave it to us, and believe” mentality > of the new utility and most of Apple’s line-up.
