I got tired of waiting for that to happen. Yeah, we were all hoping for Apple to get back in the game. Maybe with the Matter rollout this fall Apple will surprise and delight us with a home hub / WiFi router. As much as I love Apple’s products and attempts at safeguarding privacy, they’ve really dropped the ball and due to this weak link security is compromised overall for all Apple customers at home. This is precisely why so many folks wish Apple hadn’t abandoned routers. That also meant not getting firmware and security updates. The only workable solution was to reinstall older firmware. Lots of complaints on their support forums. On a side note, I move from the Netgear router because one of their updates introduced a nasty latency bug that effectively kills gaming about 2 years ago. I can’t vouch for Linksys tech support because I didn’t need it. No issues at all, including my HomeKit devices. I recently switched from a Negear gaming router to a Linksys Atlas Max 6e mesh system. Remember people - these “ gateways” are the way into your homes.
Their “authentication system” is a DISASTER and 1000% hackable.
Also Linksys / Belkin is really now Foxconn… and I promise you this equipment is made to allow hacks into your system. Their “technical support” is ALL off shore and you’ll spend HOURS and DAYS on the phone with them bc of issues with other HomeKit devices. I STRONGLY suggest people avoid LINKSYS at all costs.
