This is pretty interesting - Both Google and Apple have mapped out billions of WiFi access points to support their location based services API's... Think of things like Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, and many other location based services - remember that your smartphones also support GNSS...

I am running 3 AXE-16000's with a wired backhaul on the latest Merlin 388.1. I am having an issue with Apple's latest Mac Mini M2 and MBP seeing the 6Ghz network. From what I've been able to understand (with the help from Adrian at Intuitibits) is that these products rely on "reduced neighbor...

I noticed my iPhone was the only device not being protected by Diversion regardless of which browser I was using. Trace Route to a blocked site (Facebook and Twitter) only showed the Pixelserv server address on all other devices (192.168.10.2), but on the iPhone the first hop was to the router...

DIAGRAM UPDATED Apple devices cannot connect to an ASUS RT-AC66U configured as a repeater when set to use DHCP-assigned IP addresses - they can only connect when using statically-defined IP address settings (IP, mask, router IP & DNS). Why is this not working with DHCP-assigned IPs for Apple...

Hi everyone, Recently sold someone a apple airport express, and they are telling me they cannot for the world of them get it working. I'm trying to avoid the return process if I can assist them getting it to work. The goal is to use it with the comcast modem (might be a that combo...

Good Morning: Is it possible that Build 3.84.13_10 is blocking iCloud on both Wired and Wireless Connections. My wife's iPhone can access her photos while on Cellular Data. However, put the phone on Wifi and it will not access anything in Photos (or iCloud for that matter). Even the computer...

Anyone else with a similar setup? AC86U as Main - AC5300 as Node. In my case - that combo breaks connectivity to the Apple Store for Apple TV and iTunes on Win 10 desktop. I'm guessing that's because Merlin 384.14 has Encrypt Fixed and new Apple requirements for certificates - but AC5300 stock...

Hello people, After searching the internet for some solutions regarding my router I found this website, which looks awesome because it’s full of good information. So I hope someone here can help me with a strange problem I have. My hardware: Asus RT-AX88U - Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.384_6436...

Like the title explains, I actually got my hands on a a1521 basestation and a1470 2tb time capsule. I also am using orbi with 2 satellites, and I'm wondering should I keep or sell the base station and/or time capsule, or is there a way to implement it with what I have? I'm leaning more towards...

According to Tech Insights the new iPhones use a Broadcom BCM4377 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth wireless combo SoC. The BCM4377 is not publicly listed, and probably custom made for Apple. The closest related however is the BCM4375, also a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo chip. And it supports 802.11ax (recently branded...

Been working to set up time machine on since I bought this router without success. Have a 2TB WD My Passport Ultra that I was successfully using with an old Airport for a long time without issue. On the AC68U I can only see what is presumably the wrong partition (sda3) with a total space of just...

Multiple sources report that Apple is discontinuing its AirPort family of routers. There does not appear to be a formal announcement. But variations in this quote found in iMore's article have been cited in most articles: Apple quietly began selling Linksys' Velop Wi-Fi mesh system in January.

Hi all, very newbie here. I've had Time Capsule for 6-8 years (A1355) and no issues whatsoever until it just died. So I stepped into this mess that is which router to pick :-O Given what the current rankings say (R7800) or what thewirecutter says (R7000P) in my budget (UK, <£200), should I get...

Bloomberg today reported that Apple has been shutting down the group that develops its AirPort Wi-Fi routers for the past year. This should come as no real surprise, given that Apple has not updated its router line since 2013. This is not great news for Broadcom, which supplies the devices for...
