So I wasn’t able to connect my AirPort Extreme as an extender to a Spectrum router via WiFi, but I was able to connect to the network via an ethernet port on an existing WiFi extender and I am able to get internet on the Airport Extreme via private network. Crazy. It’s not as fast, but I’m at least getting a stronger WiFi signal in the bedroom. Also tried WPS but it didn’t seem to work.

Hi #fediverse 👋
I've been looking into this for years and still can't find a solution: has anyone maybe finally managed to access #Apple #AirportExtreme #TimeCapsule files from #Linux?

I've tried over AFP and SMB - it still shows some weird error and nothing happens 🤷

Again while we had power today I decided to rather #refurbish than #repair my #Apple #AirportExtreme.

It is a last gen model yet by today's standards it is a rather old device that is end of life - gosh, Apple even closed the department responsible for the #wifi #router development years ago.

And despite all that those routers are the most reliable ones I've ever used - they just keep on working :apple:.

However once in every 3-5 years it might be a good idea to replace the fan and also the thermal pads on those and get rid of the dust to keep em going strong.

I've done that already to my Time Capsule of the same era, so quick and easy fix it was, but no less enjoyable 🙌
