Apple Wireless Router
Previously, routers such as TP-Link, Linksys and D-Link were dominating the whole wireless router market. Almost every other person owned one of these master pieces. However, it seems like as if Apple has made the entry in to the “dominating” list of wireless routers as well. And as a matter of fact, the wireless routers from Apple are now considered competitive against Linksys, D-link and TP-Link. However, I must admit the fact that the Apple wireless router are indeed gaining a lot of attention. In fact, it is even getting even more popular than the previous state-of the-art wireless routers. Personally speaking, what I think is that the main reason behind the success of Apple wireless routers is the pre-build image of Apple – people always think that Apple is the most high quality gadget provider while keeping in mind the success rate of their flagship products; for example iPhone, iPad and iPhone. But there is still no doubt that the 3 pieces of wireless routers provided by Apple are simply erotic and worth being called masterpieces; in fact, the quality of the connections it provides and the strength of signals is purely awesome.
