    Apple Exits The Wi-Fi Router Biz

    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.

    [projects] - Espressif ESP8266 AP/Mesh Wifi Repeater/AP

    Fun little project - the ESP modules are fairly affordable, and well supported. @thiggins - not sure it this should be here, or over in the smarthome sub-forum, but since this is WiFi, this is as good a place as any since we don't have a hobby oriented single board device subforum for things...
