Can I use an old $20 Apple wifi router for my home in 2024?
I found this old Apple Airport Extreme wifi router for just $20, and surprisingly it still performs as a really great, simple way to connect my home network! In this video, I try using the Apple Airport Extreme 6th Gen Wifi router as a budget replacement for the router my ISP was renting to me for $15 extra a month. I “unbox” this used router and go through the quick setup process to get it back into action to see if it stands the test of time. So far, it’s been meeting all of my expectations!
