I've been dogfooding the device for about 4 months now. Before, I was using the previous generation Airport Extreme. It is far better - the app makes it super simple to set up, the signal seems to be stronger throughout my apartment, and I love having a convenient way to monitor / admin it remotely (via the app). Well worth the price imo.

Hi,

Could you elaborate on what you believe to be far better than the extreme. AExtreme was super simple to set up and has an app too. Did you position your OnHub differently than your extreme?

I have had an Extreme for years but recently moved and found some issues with connectivity in the new location so I've been weighing options.


Just as simple to set up as the Extreme if you're on iOS, and even simpler on Android.

I placed it in the same spot where the Extreme was formerly located; my signal strength at the other end of the apartment and outside is noticeably stronger, perhaps due to the multi-directional antenna.


How well will it work in a complex network configuration?

E.g. my network looks like this:

  Modem - L3 switch - Server 1 - Desktop
                    \          \
                     \          - Wifi AP
                      - Server 2
If I replace the AP with one of these, is it going to work? Server 1 does NAT for the wifi network.


It looks like it supports a "bridge mode" (AP only, no NAT):
