I generally love Apple products. It took them a long time to finally embrace non-proprietary networking devices. I have iPhones, iPads, MBPs and an iMac. My brother in law buys everything Apple including the router. Which I replaced for him due to coverage and throughput issues. Routers that have internal antennas to provide a sleeker design, just simply don't work as well. It's RF propagation 101 really. If you were going to place a cylindrical router right in the middle of your house, well maybe it would work fairly well to give you coverage, but most people can't do that. So directional antennas work best in this situation. Or else you're stuck buying a second access point to extend coverage. Which, I'm sure wouldn't hurt Apple's feelings lol.
