Best wireless router out there?

Very true, and those who drink the Cool Aid are the ones that will also buy the Gucci/Pucci, and sneakers for $500.

Apple products: You can get better but you can't pay more!

I found Apple's interface to be overly simplistic, to the point of being cumbersome. It would be nice if it were possible to configure via app in addition to a standard web interface. However, that's not possible because there is no web interface on an Airport extreme.

Rather than having different status lights so you can quickly see what is going on with the device, the Airport extreme relies on a single multipurpose "aesthetically pleasing" light. If you don't have the app installed near the router, expect lots of fun referring repeatedly to the manual to decipher different blink patterns and color codes, which the router uses to symbolize different statuses...

Now *that* is a useful critique worth posting. Thank you for not wasting everyones time. For some reason I assumed I was just "doing it wrong" when I couldnt get to the interface via ip. For my use, the device and installed program access is sufficient, but I admit the complete omission of a web interface is strange.

Lol, not to go back on my rant I made before, but man, fucking apple does have some amazing arrogance.
