Re: Apple Time Capsule vs. AirPort Extreme vs. AirPort Express - which router should you choose? | iMore

Along those same lines, Apple is really into universal design which mot 
only means everyone can use their device but, generally, they make just 
one version for everyone. As Tim notes different DSL, Fiber and Cable 
standards abound both within the states and worldwide so making one 
Airport to rule them all would be nearly impossible. Better to let the 
local bit twiddlers make an ADSL box that works well and then use the 
Airport for what it does well.

The combo-pack may happen but I'd guess that you're not going to see a combo 
modem/airport device any time in the near future.  ISP's often have proprietary 
devices that they have entered into agreements with specific venders but, they 
often end up behind the times technology-wise.  That is, all the new Airport 
Extreme and Time Capsule devices are Wireless AC devices whereas I'd venture to 
say that those packaged with ISP's are behind a level or two.  This likely 
won't make much difference to your Internet speed but makes a huge difference 
to your internal network speed.

Yeah, I know.  But you can often put your cable modem in pass-through mode, or 
buy a Draytek 120 for DSL passthrough.  In the UK, VDSL service is actually 
supplied in two boxes as standard: the modem, and the router; the modem is part 
of the national infrastructure, whereas the router comes from the ISP and can 
be AirPort.

Re: Apple Time Capsule vs. AirPort Extreme vs. AirPort Express - which router should you choose? | iMore

2014-06-22 Thread Sabahattin Gucukoglu
I have long had these.  They're excellent.  The Time Capsule makes sense for 
backups, of course, but you can use the disk for other purposes too.  And the 
AirPort Express is way nicer than messing about with dedicated AirPlay 
speakers.  Supports MiniSPDIF, for those who know what that is.

I don't recommend using them as routers if your ISP connection is PPPoE-based, 
though.  In other words, mostly DSL. If cable, go for it.  Even if you have an 
existing router, turn the wi-fi off and use one of these to provide wi-fi; 
that's your Internet connection being given a serious upgrade.  They are 
IPv6-ready too, so when your ISP offers it, you can use it to get onto the next 
generation Internet.

And since this list is about accessibility: the iOS client is fully accessible, 
whereas the Mac client is moderately accessible (detail popovers don't work).

Cheers,
Sabahattin
