My 5 Apple network devices happily updated. Signal is strong and Airplay works flawless. Mesh, roaming network.

3 Apple 5th Gen Airport Extremes running in dual band (2.4/5GHz) 802.11n only. Connected via Cat 5e ethernet backbone to Verizon FiOS 75/35.

2 Latest Gen Apple Airport Expresses for Airplay and signal extension.
