Probably just me coping, but I’m hoping this leads to the return of Airports. I still have an Airport Extreme I use for my router. Having one that can do proper mesh though would be a god send, and having Wi-Fi 6 support would be awesome along with a newer SMB standard for the Time Capsule.
Have you looked into GL.inet's offerings? They use openwrt as their base and build off it.
Many are mesh capable and have a USB for easy network storage.
Surely WiFi 7 now, right?
I think a lot of the people who were working on the Airports now work for Ubiquiti
I’ll have to look into getting a Ubiquiti once my Airport finally bites the dust because there are some QOL features I’d like to have. I’m starting to think that my airport will never die though
I use mikrotik for routing but ubiquiti for wifi and switching. Such a wonderful system. Set and forget.
I’m not an airport or ubiquity user, but from what I’ve seen I would be surprised if there is anything airport can do that ubiquity can’t.
