    Airport: Will Apple issue fix for latest WPA2 exploit 'KRACK'?

    I guess that is the $64K question. With the Airport teams scattered to the wind, will Apple issue a fix for the latest exploit or will we all be taking our Airports to the nearest recycling center?

    Is the Airport Extreme worth buying?

    Since Apple hasn't updated the Airport Extreme in a while and it looks like they will never update it considering they disbanded the team that was working on it, is it still worth buying? Is there a better alternative?

    Is Apple really abandoning the AirPort Extreme?

    Today I was reminded of just how easy these things are to work with. Picked up a used 2013 AirPort Extreme 802.11ac for $45 to upgrade the 2011 model I'd been using. I plug in and press the reset button, connect to it using the utility, and am immediately prompted to transfer over the settings...
