    Is the AirPort Express still worth getting?

    A local store is selling a brand new, unopened AirPort Express for $95.65 and I was wondering if it's worth getting it. I'm still using the modem/router bundled with the plan I got from my Internet provider and it's been giving me headaches for the past year or so. It keeps pretending there's no...

    Airport Extreme issues bridging with ISP router/modem

    EDIT: Solved. Disable residential gateway function and put the Airport back into regular DHCP/NAT mode from bridged. Well, this is a weird one. I've got my Airport Extreme basestation (802.11ac) setup in bridge mode connected to an ISP provided cable modem (Hitron CGNVM) that has routing...

    Leopard and PowerBook wireless cards

    I've been trying to use PPC for work as much as I can recently, just to see what I can do with the platform other than having the computers around as a novelty.

    IPv6 LAN IPv4 WAN + Airport Extreme?

    Long story short, I'm embarrassed to say that this is the first time I've really delved into IPv6. Our ISP only offers IPv4, and our school network was around 200 total devices. That's the largest network I support, so there simply hasn't been any pressing reason to worry about it yet. But...
