I'm crashing at a buddy's right now and he's using an older (802.11n, no time capsule) airport. He's been having issues with internet connectivity, and he's not particularly tech savvy. I figured I would go inside the router console and play around a bit to see what features it offered and see if I could localize his connectivity issues. I was very upset to find that there is no web interface for these devices. On the one hand, that's pretty damn good security. On the other, it's a little inconvenient that you cannot use any device with a web browser to check your settings and tweak stuff. Personally, I don't like the trade off. But it's very good for home users that won't put secure, non-default passwords on their routers.
