    Are there any HomeKit-enabled routers NOT made by companies owned by Amazon, Google, or FaceBook?

    I will be in the market for a new router (and possible extender/mesh/? system) soon. I know WiFi 6 is a must, but I'd like it to be HomeKit-enabled as well. However, my biggest hope is that I can find one from a company that is NOT related to Amazon, Google, or FaceBook! Any suggestions?

    Wireless bridge, extender, repeater, for Hue Bridge???

    I'm assuming there's a really simple answer for this. The wireless in my apartment is shared by many people. The router itself is in a very inconvenient location for me to physically access however the signal it provides works just fine. I need to connect the "Hue Bridge" to a router with an...

    Wifi router recomendations

    So I'm thinking of replacing my 10+ year old time capsule with something newer. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm in a small studio apartment so I won't need massive range for it. I just need something that has dual band and has decent wifi speeds.

    Alternatives to AirPort base stations

    I've always found these details so useful within Apple's AirPorts and was wondering if anyone could let me know of other routers that have a similar *live* feature. And all of this info is available within both the iOS and Mac apps. What I want is to see is; current data rate/link speed, current...

    How to attach encrypted HFS+ drives to a network?

    I know that people have asked this sort of question before, but I've always found it geared specifically for their own equipment, rather than in a general sense. How do users out there attach an encrypted drive to a network, be it a hard drive or raid, be it attached via ethernet or via a USB...

    Router interfering with MBP and dismounting drives...

    Last night, I figured out that my router (a Panoramic combination router/modem from my cable company) has been interfering with my 2017 MBP (as well as two 2018 MBPs). Specifically, it was causing random dismounting of drives and a memory card. I recently bought and returned two 2018 MacBook...

    Hi everyone. I have my router and time capsule in the living room. The TC is connected to the router with Ethernet, and I then have multiple devices connected to the TC with Ethernet. Problem is that it’s a mess of wires and I need to add even more. So I’d like to move the router into the home...

    Does this mean Wifi card is broken ?

    We have a 30Mbps line. I'm standing with my laptop literally right next to my wifi router (2 inches aways). I'm receiving 12-15Mbps on Ookla Speedtest on my Macbook Pro 2017 13" w/ macOS Mojave latest public beta. A old crappy windows laptop costing 1/4th the price is getting 28Mbps. I am...

    I'm looking for a router/external hard drive setup to replace a failing Apple 3TB Time Capsule (ME182LL/A). I typically use my Time Capsule with Time Machine, but I'm finding that recently the hardware and software is becoming less and less reliable, which means that I'm open to new ideas. One...

    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...

    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...
