With the leaks that have been spilled in the network of networks as far as Apple has dissolved the work team directly related to the development of AirPort, everything suggests that finally Apple will stop selling both the AirPort Express, Like AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. 

That is why we want to share with you this article that right now many of you may not see it logical but at the moment when Apple stop selling these products if alternatives will be needed. 

As for the products that we have mentioned, if there is one thing that has always characterized them, it is for their exquisite operation and that is that as many of us already know, when it comes to network connections, everything can become in a big problem of incompatibilities and failures that with Apple's AirPorts has never happened. 

I have had several of them and the truth is that I cannot say anything bad about their operation and that is that Apple has always been known for launching devices that help the end user. Next we are going to show you several alternatives to these Apple products and it is that although we buy them now, if the work team of them in Apple no longer exists, They will never be updated again with the latest news in terms of wireless networks.

The first alternative comes from the hand of Google with its Google Wi-Fi. These devices have been presented in October 2016 and have come stomping. Google has introduced them alluding to:

Using a single router to broadcast the Internet signal throughout your home is like expecting a single light bulb to illuminate every room.

With this new WiFi device, Google's promise that we have good WiFi coverage in all corners of our house as well as have greater control of incoming connections to our network with a specific application.  Google says that a Google Wifi can cover a house of up to 140 square meters without problems, while a pack of three of these routers would serve to ensure good coverage in homes of up to 418 square meters. The basic specifications of Google Wifi are:

  • Wi-Fi AC1200 2 × 2 Wave 2
  • Quad-core CPU (each up to 710 MHz)
  • Mesh Wi-Fi technology
  • Simultaneous dual band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz / 5GHz) compliant with IEEE 802.11a / b / g / n / ac
  • 2 Ethernet ports per router. Ports can be configured as WAN or LAN
  • WPA2-PSK
  • 15W power adapter, consumes about 9W

You can get the pack of three units in Amazon for $ 399.

The second alternative comes from the hand of Eero, with the devices Eero Home Wi-Fi System. In this case, the device is very similar to Apple's AirPort Express and they are also served in individual units at $ 199, in a 2-unit pack at $ 349 and in a 3-unit pack at $ 499. On the following website you can have more information about it.

The third alternative that we have studied is the AmpliFi HD (High-Density) Home Wi-Fi System. It is not that there are no more options on the market, but what we wanted is to show you the three that most closely resemble what Apple has on the market even in terms of aesthetics.

Regarding this option, we have a system that depends on a central unit in which we have a full color and touch screen in which we can manage the functions of the device in addition to being able to see the speed that is being broadcast at all times. On the other hand we have in it $ 349,99 pack two antennas that connect directly to the sockets that we want in the house as well as being addressable. Here you can find more information.
