    Hi, I have 2 external drives (Time Machine backup disk + media disk) connected to an Airport Extreme via a USB hub. Is it possible to get Time Machine to backup the media disk connected to the Airport Extreme? Thanks.

    Is moving from a 4th gen Airport Extreme to the 6th gen (newest) Airport Extreme worth it?

    Some things: My place is too small to need mesh networking. The only way I'd go to mesh networking is if it offered more features (QoS, VPN, etc) than the Airport Extreme, but Eero, Google Wifi and others seem to be works in progress with features to be added later. I'd rather not spend money...

    Airport Extreme worth it?

    My airport express is not enough anymore in my new house. Is the Airport extreme worth it (using the express as an extender)? Or are there better options for the price?

    Airport Extreme replacement?

    I have two of the latest gen of Airport Extremes (one is an extension of the other), and they have worked okay, but with all the streaming I do now from Plex, it just isn't fast enough, nor is the coverage strong enough. I have a small house, but need a wifi signal to go through a wall or two...

    Resolved AirPort Extreme Replacing Time Capsule as Router

    My wifi has been giving us fits as of late, and I'm fairly certain it's not the signal from the neighborhood node nor my modem, so that left my 2009 2TB Apple Time Capsule as the culprit. My Aiport Extreme showed up today, and I've had no issues with XBox, iPad, iMac, iPhones, etc. since...
