Apple Outlines Key Features To Look For When Upgrading From Airport Devices

Now that Apple’s AirPort line is dead, Apple has now published a new support document detailing what customers should be looking for when upgrading from their existing AirPort devices.

While Apple’s AirPort devices never support mesh networking, Apple recommends using such a setup if you have a larger home.

Apple also recommends getting a router that supports 802.11ac, simultaneous dual-band networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz), WPA2 Personal (AES) encryption, and MIMO or MU-MIMO which allows the router to send and receive multiple streams which improves performance.
