Apple’s recent departure from the router business has left a gap for many iPhone and iPad users looking for a reliable and secure router that plays well with iOS, AirPlay, and HomeKit.

Of course, with AirPort routers out of the running, other manufacturers have begun to step up to the plate with their own smart routers that are focused more on security than simply providing a basic internet gateway.
