Too many wireless clients
-
My church has to many wirelesss devices on there network. the configurations are a
Netgear DD-WRT
11 Ubiquity APthe netgear only gives the ability for 62 wireless clients. Any thoughts on how to expand the wireless client list.
The church is a church and school.

Get rid of the DD-WRT router and get an ER-L.

Yeah, that toy device isn't doing you any favoures. Plus it doesn't fit into your singular Unifi management system.
-
Is there any issue with user density on the UBNT APs?

Does UNMS manage Unifi APs yet? I thought it was on the feature request list.

I believe from the last time i played wirth it No.

Depending on the Netgear router, DD-WRT does have some protections where the DHCP server will not to exceed available virtual memory... So my guess he's just hitting a virtual memory cap on that consumer router.

It never will. It will eventually be able to see them and you can click out to the unifi controller

I guess there at 97%.. Second
How would I configure er-l
Using comcast cable modem. Plug it right into the wan port.. or should I get a usG
-
Do not buy an ERL. Buy the ER 4
-
Ok I will advise them to get an er-4 .. or should I get the USG since they already have AP

The USG is just an ERL with UniFi firmware.
Also it sucks. It takes a solid router and gimps it.
But that is my opinion. Apparently a lot of “people” like it.
-
For this environment does the "gimp"-ing matter in the long run? It's still on top of enterprise hardware and add the manageability from the Unifi Controller that they may want.
Just thinking do they need the features/performance of the ER-4 when a USG will be "easier" for them to manage?

I would posit that the USG is not easier to manage

Unifi does that, UNMS is for the non-Unifi stuff.

I've had to work with it and agree, more work to manage, not less.
-
thank you all! I might upgrade from er3 lite and and get the 4 and just give them my er-3 lite

I assume you are referring to the illuminati lizard's controlling everything? This is the first time I've been inconvenienced by not having emoji's ever

Specifically, not IT professionals.
I have one in the field. I will never, ever, buy another one.
