Apple exited the home Wi-Fi market at the wrong time

Apple made the only router that my parents could setup. I’m guessing the Google WiFi probably has a similarly friendly user experience, but I’d rather not sell them out to Google.

It was a shame that Apple abandoned the airport.

I set up a google WiFi system, it was extremely easy to set up and worked really well. They haven’t complained to me about it. It was one base and 3 extenders in a fairly sprawled out house with a pool house.

My personal experience: I got 2 airports express for my parents. Both of them died within a year (permanent orange LED meaning the circuit was fried). Now they are on Google Wifi, and so far it works.

Fair enough. I’ll have to read their privacy policy in detail. I’d love the trust I have in google for security updates, but am wary of the potential data collection.
