I have an Apple AirPort Extreme that I would like to use as my router rather than the AIS Fibre modem/router. Any suggestions?

I use Apple's AirPort Time Capsule as a wireless router. That's the newer model after the Extreme (all discontinued now by Apple ? ).

 

You cannot use it as a modem for fibre. Just connect it by LAN cable to the modem provided by AIS and you'll be good to go. I use it to rout wirelessly and LAN.

Get AIS to switch your modem to bridge mode then put the log on credentials into the AEBS. Otherwise you will end up with a double NAT problem.

Just to clarify , are you saying that the Airport Time Capsule is no longer? Has something taken its place?

 

I was just looking to buy one ( 2TB).

I went on to Apple Thailand and they are advertised as 11,100 baht.  The same ( 2TB) on Lazada is 9,814 baht.

Just read up on it . Not worth buying now.

Yes, as far as I know, Apple has discontinued making any routers. I wouldn't buy that one as Apple no longer supports them. The last version of Airport Utility for Windows (version 5.6.1) is more than 4 years old. I'm still using the same version I installed in 2014. I've been lucky with mine so far, but I've heard a lot of bad reports about them not lasting long.

I see that it will not be compatible with the new 802.11ax Wi-Fi when it starts being used.

I was an Apple die hard until a few years ago, until they stopped taking any interest in anything other than iPhones and dumbing down their computers.

Router wise I can highly recommend the Asus RT-AC 86U. Blows the Apple offerings out of the water in every respect. Can be had on good offers from Gear Best for around 4,000 baht.
