AirPort

From The Apple Wiki
AirPort Extreme 802.11ac, the final iteration of the AirPort router series

AirPort is a discontinued series of Wi-Fi devices sold by Apple. AirPort was one of the earliest consumer products providing Wi-Fi functionality to an existing home or small office network, and is credited as being a catalyst to the widespread adoption of Wi-Fi.

While the AirPort series of consumer products is formally discontinued, the name is still used internally to refer to the hardware and corresponding software implementation of Wi-Fi in macOS and iOS. The AirPort name was used to refer to Wi-Fi functionality in the Mac OS X user interface until 10.7 Lion, where it was renamed to Wi-Fi.
