There's no way that's going to cost less than $500. With a mount that costs $300

You meant $695 right? Apple has an image to protect, you know.
(For the people mad at me: Mac pro wheels.)
Screw indeed
$500 is not an unreasonable price for a router if it’s actually good and comes with a good warranty.
There is absolutely no way in hell that the components inside a router can possibly add up to $500. Beyond a certain point things that are more expensive are just more expensive because they are, not because they represent better quality.
Routers are commodity items, there is absolutely no way that a router costing $500 is demonstrably better than a router costing $100
Well almost nothing in this world is priced based solely on the cost of materials so I wouldn’t waste your time thinking in terms like that. And it is in fact the case that a $500 router is demonstrably better than a $100 router. A $300 UniFi router is pretty much the ground floor of decent router performance, and even then you’re severely lacking in warranty and support, and the software is subpar.
Beyond a certain point things that are more expensive are just more expensive because they are, not because they represent better quality.
This is true, but the “certain point” in this case is not $100. $500 is much closer to being that point, and even then that’s only if you’re thinking in the scope of a consumer router. Business class routers are thousands of dollars.
Return to making bullet proof routers too, please 🙏.
its crazy that i have several apple airports around and havent needed a reset or update in at least 6 years. always ready for airplay2, a stabdard which didnt exist when they were obsoleted. meanwhile my ring and eero fail weekly.
You haven't updated your networking equipment in 6 years?
I have several components in my network that are at least 6 years old. Is that a problem..?
With what?
can't flash openwrt on them... Or...
Apple tech is a prison just like any other cloud "the customer is the product" tech. The bars just happen to have a better UX.
I could't think of a better invitation to sack the place, lmao.
That gives them a year or two to fix HKSV.
Not counting on it…
My phone is running slow...hey! How about a camera 🤳📸!
