    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?

    Late 2011 MBP Wifi issue

    Hi, I've been having issues recently with my wifi dropping. Weirdly, if I jiggle the power connector or remove it, it seems to kick the wifi back into life, until the next time it drops. Today I have replaced the airport card and the problems are identical. I can't seem to find anyone with...

    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...

    Wifi Issues with MacBook Pro 13" 2016 TB

    Hi, yesterday as i woke up i noticed, that my machine seems to have dropped all network connections. Deactivating the wireless and activating it again solved the issue. Today it happened again. So apparently it wasn´t a one time thing. Anyone noticed something similar? Regards, Norman
