Apple carries first-ever in-store, third-party Wi-Fi router in form of Linksys Velop
rob53 said:I checked out the Linksys iOS app and it looks very similar to all the controls the Comcast xFi shows on commercials. It demonstrates how families can see how the shutdown of Net Neutrality is going to affect them. Parental controls to shut down the kids phones at dinner and prioritizing devices. What I don't like is the requirement(?) to create a Linksys user account in order to manage it. To me this sounds like all activity might be going through Linksys and there's never a reason for that to happen. I don't believe Airport base stations have ever had this requirement and if they did it was simply your Apple ID, which already goes to the company I/we trust the most.
"User account (created in the app or at http://www.LinksysSmartWiFi.com) connected to your Linksys product."
Of course my biggest issue with all of these routers is their cost. -
