The skyscraper? The hauteur router? The dapper WAP? All reasonable nicknames were considered, but in the end, Apple’s sticking with “AirPort Extreme.” The newest base station — the one introduced alongside the company’s Haswell-infused MacBook Air at WWDC — takes on a new look and gains 802.11ac support, but that’s not what you’re here for. You’re here for two reasons: first, you want to see this thing reverse engineered, and second, you want to get an idea of just how repairable it is.
