I moved a test AP to 4.3.28.11361 yesterday. No issues experienced. I moved some additional ones this AM, and still no issue with DHCP like with the 4.3.24.x version
ustomer wouldn't approve adding cabling to run extra APs.
How many do they have today?
That's kind of what I'm thinking of recommending, but would want to ensure that we're list apples to apples and not against grapefuites (if you get my point).
well sure - so look at what the current APs support, then find something that does that or better for the new APs, You might have to play with power settings to keep things from overlapping to much,...
Just ordered an Actiontec ScreenBeam 960a. Basically a Intel WiDi and Miracast-receiver. Got some pretty good reviews. Will post what I found while testing the device.
Order canceled for the moment, currently playing with AirServer
This is a rental home, so don't want to run cable throughout the house to connect the switch to the router. Resolved the issue by putting in a couple of powerline ethernet adapters.
Glad I could help JB in keeping his blood pressure in check. 😉
At a previous job we rolled out Ubiquiti APs on one site since they were so inexpensive just as test to see if we could move to a controller based system. After the second AP failed of the three we purchased we went with a Ruckus system despite the increased cost. We chose to spend a bit more for apparent reliability.
That said, for my current job I've chosen to do a test deployment of UBNT hardware.
Weird - where did you buy them from? Failures do happen, but 2 out of 3 failing.. that's pretty bad.
I deployed UAPs (22 and no failures) and it has worked flawlessly for me for 8 months so far.
This was 2012-2013 time frame, so given the average experience I'm not knocking them off the list permanently.
They were off of Amazon. From UBNT iirc.
The ERL in 2012/2013 was iffy. But not the basic UAP. interesting experience.
Cabling: One aspect of home networking that is far too often overlooking is implementing a quality cabling plant inside the home. This requires far more effort than other home networking projects and falls more into the electrician space rather than the IT professional space but is also one of the most important pieces from the home owner perspective and end user perspective rather than the IT pro perspective. A good, well installed cabling plant will make a home more attractive to buyers and make the value a powerful home network even better.
Dominica's Lenovo crashed hard tonight. That thing with Win 10 crashed like once a month. Asus with Ubuntu, never.
Where you still using the WiFi card that came with it? It was totally worth the $65 investment in a third party card for my Yoga. After that - all problems just gone!
