@gjacobse find yourself a good cloud based 'notes' thing.
I know you know that. -
Watering the garden.
-
Just got some coffee and went out to see the progress on our new restaurant and bar space. They are working on it fast!
-
Trying to do some work while watching the news. Very sad seeing where we used to live under aerial bombardment. And lots of friends who are either trapped or refugees hiding abroad.
-
Remembering the good ol' days, where I could get a single freggin WIFI access point with a click of a button.

What's the issue getting them now?

@scottalanmiller The specific model I was looking for is out of stock everywhere. (UBI-UAP-AC-LR-US) However, I just found a WiFi 6 Lite
that could work.I have the first AP in a large building, and it doesn't quite cover to the far corners of the building. I am looking to get another AP in place. Those 2 models should work together, right?

Yeah, we ordered some yesterday and had no stock issues. That' why I wondered.
Yes, stick with Unifi and they all work together.
-
@scottalanmiller Did you order direct from UI, or another supplier?

We use DCW.

I would never use LR model to make "better" coverage. Just because the AP can send signal farther, does not mean the device on the other side can send back from that distance.

Very valid point. Which is likely why they are running into this issue.

Agreed. I've yet to deploy one of these intentionally (I support ones that other people have deployed.) I can never figure out when they would be useful.

maybe if you were using them to cross a gap between them.

As a peer to peer / point to point bridge situation? Sure, that would make sense.
-
Typically for that, though, you use a different model. One designed for point to point, rather than multipoint. You don't need the upgraded radio for that but a better (e.g. purpose) built antennae.
-
Mostly drinking coffee and watching the news around here.
Going to take the bus to Managua later today.
-
Waiting for a haircut.
-
Been meaning to do this for a while. installed the RTL-SDR on the Ubuntu Server, running AirSpy on my desktop...
Only need to make it 'live' without signing in to the console and starting it...
NetStat
Not much load on the system..and no - didn't expect much.

Agreed - but it is a place where I could see it being used.
