There is just enough space for air to circulate via the eight vents at the bottom. Now you may think it odd to have the fan at the bottom of a router, but actually, the router does not sit flush to a surface. The only other LED is a teeny-tiny one on the front which provides overall device status (amber color indicates the device is not connected or setup, or some other issue is going on, and green indicates online and all is good).Īt the bottom of the router is the device's fan and cooling system. There are three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports on the back, a Gigabit WAN port, a USB 2.0 port (for printer and external hard drive sharing), and a power port.
Still, those with a love for Apple's design-and hassle-free setup-will no doubt be happy with this attractive piece of hardware. Also, power users and those who need to get very granular with their wireless networks will likely want to look to other dual-band routers with more advanced capabilities. Add in dead-simple setup and it's a sure bet the new AirPort will delight many, despite the fact that the AirPort is not among the fastest pre-draft 802.11ac routers we've tested in 11ac mode. It's no surprise that the device is about as gorgeous as a router can get and that it has decent throughput (excellent at the 2.4GHz band, actually), not only with the 802.11ac-supported 13-and 11- inch MacBook Air's ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) wireless adapters, but with Windows systems, too. Instead, the new AirPort is a mini-tower-designed to maximize wireless performance.
