If they retire these from the market, that moment I will go out and buy one or two and keep them in the closet, just in case my current one gives up. F* other aggravate-geek-boxes. Oh sorry I meant routers?
Got a tip for us?

Agreed the Time Capsule and Airport Express on a apple 'roaming network' setup has saved my sanity - I'd be without decent wi-fi and backup without them.
I just hope apple bring out similar but better and compatable with legacy in the future.

Welp, my 3rd gen Time Capsule, 2nd gen AirPort Extreme, and 3rd gen AirPort Express still continue to work just fine, and I plan on getting many, many more years of usage out of them 
Downloaded this morning 7.7.8 zero issues.

Same here, and if they do stop producing them I plan on buying a bunch more haha.

I have a flat Airport Express (mc414ll/c) and it's working fine. I don't use BTMM. Are there any other improvements in the update or should I leave things where they are? I don't like to mess with the setup unless there's a serious reason to do it.
I saw my TC flashing yellow today but everything was working fine then I realized it was a firmware update. I just updated only took a few minutes not sure what back to my mac is but everything is working as normal. I really love Apple routers now this is something that just always works.
I noticed that after upgrading the firmware on my Apple Time Capsule 802.11ac (2GB) to 7.7.8 that none of my devices would connect via the 5Ghz band, always preferring b/g/n. Ultimately I decided to try giving the 5Ghz network a unique SSID and force a device to connect. I was successful but found performance to be atrocious. I rolled back to 7.7.7 and my 5ghz performance returned to what I'd expect.
I want to confirm if anyone else is having an issue with the 5Ghz bands after upgrading to 7.7.8?

Any particular reason to update from 7.6.7 if i don't use Back to My Mac?
(everything's been working fine with my Extreme/Network for a couple years...)

I gave it 7 days and updated my Express and 2nd gen Extreme: no issues. Airport Utility showed both as having an updated (once I went into the app) and I updated the Extreme via the Windows version and after it rebooted updated the Express vis ios10 just for variety. No issues. I went through the settings and did not see any new or removed features/settings. The Windows version still has the ability to set output power percentages (thankfully)
