IFYKYK, the Airpot was a AWESOME router.

My airports have been slowly dying for a year or two. Does anybody have a recommendation for an Apple-friendly mesh network? Ubiquity? Eero? Something else?

I bought a used Airport Express on eBay a couple years ago. Need it to stream my audio receiver to my speakers so I can play music from my phone over my stereo setup.

The very least they could do is create a NAS like product that supports time machine. It would fly off the shelves. Doesn't need to be a router or anything fancy.

People are taking old Time capsules and turning them into NAS drives with the router features disabled.

They're all about services now, well this would be the perfect addition to the lineup, and a place they can offer more services.

The history? The first airport had a 486 with a replacable pcmcia lucent wifi card. It had a cool 3 leds plastic light carriers
