I miss my Airport network best working network setup I have ever had, untill Apple started removing features and settings

I loved mine. The app was super simple which made configuration and diag super easy.

I loved it shipped with 802.11g, then they software upgraded it to 802.11n, added mesh networking, updated the WiFi spec & WPA, added Time Machine backups, and a bunch of other features. I had the Express, so I could use it as a bridge for Ethernet only devices and beam music wirelessly to my stereo optically all 20-ish years ago. I miss how simple and integrated it was and how simple it was to get non-WiFi devices on my network.

Mine is still sitting on my shelf, chugging along. Granted it's the 2013 version, but I haven't had any problems with it. Except once in a while the entire network stalls and reboots. I guess that's an issue, but not something I've bothered fixing.

I see lots of people really loved the Airport line and rave about it. what made it so special?
