Google is newer to the wireless networking game. Sold under the AirPort brand, Apple offers three different WiFi routers: AirPort Time Capsule,ĪirPort Extreme and AirPort Express. Apple has always offered a strong selection of wireless routers. It won’t give you the Mac-specific features you’d expect from an Apple router, and as ever with Google products there are privacy concerns to weigh up, but its feature set is otherwise impressive. One that’s worth a thought is Google’s new OnHub. The AirPort Express could be purchased as an additional device at a later point if you decide to expand the network, although it is good for creating a small network on the fly (you could pop one in your suitcase when you head off on holiday, for example) and offers an AirPlay audio feature missing from other devices here – it may well get an update soon.īut don’t assume that Apple WiFi routers are your only option – there are plenty of alternatives on the market. The only real differentiation between the devices is whether you also want to create wireless backups. It’s easy to use an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule to set up a network. Both are superb devices that offer a range of features and better performance than most routers on the market. If you haven’t got an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, and are looking to improve your Wi-Fi network, we recommend you get one of Apple’s base stations. Time Capsule is expensive for just an additional hard drive and OnHub is expensive full stop.
