A note about the AirPort Extreme / Time Capsule 2013 and later

Section titled “A note about the AirPort Extreme / Time Capsule 2013 and later”

Apple removed all support for SNMP from its 2013-and-later AirPort hardware, making those models impossible to monitor (with any software). There is further discussion about the issue on Apple’s support forum: Apple Support Discussion — SNMP and 2013 Airport/Time Capsule.

If you have one of these routers, you can still use PeakHour to monitor this Mac, other Macs, PCs, servers and other SNMP-compatible devices on your network. PeakHour’s latency monitors also let you monitor the responsiveness of your connection regardless of router compatibility. See the Bandwidth Monitoring FAQ for more information.
