In a not so surprising move, the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), stopped the development of AirPort routers used by quite a large number of customers around the world. Those from Cupertino reorganized the teams that develop these products, the engineers being moved to teams that develop other products that Apple wants to launch on the market.
With products not released for 3 years in this category, the Apple company thought that the engineers who develop them could be used more usefully in other divisions. More precisely, Apple relocated employees to divisions that develop products for consumers, which also generate the largest part of the Americans' income.
Apple has had quite big discounts on the AirPort series for some time, and considering that it hasn't released a new model in more than 3 years, its fate was clear. Now things have been finalized and those who still had hopes that Apple will launch any AirPort router, have no reason to hope for such a thing.
Considering that it will no longer sell routers, the Apple company would recommend alternative products from partner manufacturers to its customers. This is already happening with the MacBook Pro series and the 5K monitor developed by LG especially for these laptops, so the AirPort series is going to completely disappear from Apple's offer.
"Apple Inc. has disbanded its division that develops wireless routers, another move to try to sharpen the company's focus on consumer products that generate the bulk of its revenue, according to people familiar with the matter. Apple began shutting down the wireless router team over the past year, dispersing engineers to other product development groups, including the one handling the Apple TV."
Eu folosesc de ceva vreme si mi se pare foarte ok. Pacat.
si eu le folosesc…f f ciudat ! sa speram totusi ca urmeaza unele noi,totusi putin probabil
Daaa…. Intr-adevar, pacat! Folosesc de aproape 3 ani AirPort Extreme, sooper-ok!!! Merge foarte bine, “dă” foarte bine pe mobilă, lângă Apple TV….
Chiar saptamana trecuta verificasem de vreun nou update la sistem…
Eeee, asta e…. Oricum, pentru ceea ce face si este ( 6 antene interne, giga si dualband), sper sa-l mai folosesc cel putin doi ani ?
Am si eu unul dar nu e ok, din nefericire .In teorie pe Ac ar atinge 1300 mbps dar in practica nu am trecut de 200 mbps . In rest e stabil, usor de instalat ,etc
serios? nu iti trece de 200mbs pe banda de 5gz?
Am incercat ,am chemat si o firma specializata dar nu merge mai bine decat atat pe abonamentul de 1000 de la rds.
@MrUnivers: Ce abonament ai? Verifica…. Eu, la casă, in Constanta, aveam FiberLink 100 (care, ulterior, s-a “dublat”, adică in loc de 100 mi-au dat 200 pe download…), iar pe test de viteză (ORICE SITE, inclusiv speedtest…), atingeam 196 d/l cu 100 max u/l.
Acum, la bloc, același abonament, ating max. 75 d/l cu 50 u/l….
Fibră, fibră…dar la bloc e MARE diferență față de la casă…cel puțin în Constanța…?
f f ciudat…cred ca trebuia sa schimbi unitatea
Am cumparat routerul cand aveam ab minim de 100 mbps si mergea cu 90 deci eficienta f buna la viteza asta, apoi am trecut la abonamentul de 1000 si a urmat ce v-am scris mai sus. Am schimbat si routerul dar nimic . Am citit ca ar merge cu un alt router cuplat inainte de apple dar am incercat si asta cu un Asus si mergea mai lent. Chiar am nevoie de un router performant pe wi fi pt ca am 5 ipad ,3 tel apple ,2 mac si inca 2 tv playstation ,bluray ,toate pe wifi si am nevoie de viteza in ambele benzi de frecventa .Daca stiti unul de incredere va sunt recunoscator.
Daca nu se cumpara la maxim 2/3 ani model nou nu mai este interesant pt apple din pacate
ai ipad cu tehnologia ac? daca nu, nu ai cum atinge vitezele specificate…deci pe langa router cu aceasta tehnologie banuiesc ca stii ca trebuie sa ai si device’urile sa suporte ac. De exemplu doar playstation 4 suporta wifi ac
Pe air 1 cel mai bun download 152,96mbps , pe ipad air2 189.04 si pe ip 6+ 195,60mbps . Air 1 are stsndard n pe wifi celelate 2 Ac dar dupa cum vezi nu e mare dif spre surprinderea mea.Toate datele sunt inreg pe retea fixa Rds fara interferente, pereti sau altceva.
Dar ma intreb ce au facut angajatii din acest departament timp de 3 ani.
L-au ajutat pe Jony la împodobit.
