Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...

The AirPort Extreme is superbly built from the outside and meticulously engineered on the inside, a solid-feeling piece of wireless router hardware that has the least router-like appearance of any such appliance. It lacks some of the more arcane setup opt...
All three are great WiFi routers, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule feature 802.11AC wireless, AirPort Express is a good way to extend a network, AirPort Express has AirPlay audio
Time Capsule is expensive for just an additional hard drive, AirPort Express lacks 802.11ac and Gigabit Ethernet, only one USB port on AirPort Extreme

Class leading design and build quality, Smooth Mac OS X & iOS setup, Strong 802.11n 5GHz performance
Poor 802.11ac & 802.11n 2.4GHz performance, 3x Gigabit Ethernet, Single USB 2.0 port, Limited WPS support
The most attractive, well crafted router on the market is sadly a letdown. The AirPort Extreme may have added 802.11ac to a great redesign but its performance falls flat and functionality is heavily compromised compared to other next gen alternatives. App...
Slower than leading 802.11ac routers, No web management interface, No granular control over Wi, Fi network
Apple has never really been heralded for its networking technology. Yes, the design of the hardware is beautiful, and notorious for being easy to setup and manage. With the new AirPort design and the inclusion of 802.11ac, it's plain to see that the comp...

Abstract: Compared to a wired ethernet cable, WiFi has always been tragically slow – with the arrival of 802.11ac , the newest WiFi standard – that might not be true anymore. AirPort Extreme is Apple's dual-band router, which means it broadcasts both at 2.4 and 5 G...
