AirPort morte! - 04/28/18 04:52 PM
I just ran across Apple Officially Discontinues AirPort Wireless Router Lineup, and my first thought was to buy a 2nd generation "n" AirPort Express ("while the supply lasts") if for no reason other than to perpetuate AirPlay functionality should my 1st generation "n" go belly-up.
After giving the matter some thought, though, I focused on the plethora of adapters that Apple is already raking in bucks on, and it occurred to me that they will, in all likelihood, NOT pass up the opportunity to rake in even more by coming out with a dedicated AirPlay device when there's no "n"-ventory left.
Does that make sense, or should I jump on a new unit right now?
Concurrently with the discontinuance announcement, Apple has released Choosing a Wi-Fi router to use with Apple devices for the benefit of those who'll need to replace their AirPort devices with 3rd party routers.
