    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...

    Time Machine for 2 computers?

    I have a run of the mill old router by linksys without any ports open in my office, but I need to get a Time Machine solution to backup 3 Macs. Are there external drives that have built in wifi? or is there a way to plug in external to one machine and have others backup to it as well?

I wait for the wifi icon to show up at the top, all three bars are black so the network connection seems fine, but if I go on...

    Automatically connecting to Wifi before login

    Hi, I'm setting up my new Mac Mini (2018) as a home file/video/etc server. Old one (2011 server, running OS X 10.13.6) reconnected to Wifi after remote reboot without any problem.

    2018 MBA Slow WiFi Transfers

    Has any body else experienced slower than expected network file transfers over Wifi? I have noticed transferring large video files (2GB+) from my 2018 MacBook Air to a Western Digital MyCloud NAS is 4x-5x slower than it was on my 2013 MBA. Very puzzling.
