Added tags

Bother, phone didn't cooperate with those then 😐

You have to have a topic selected prior to adding tags to make them stick.

Easy for me to miss on the small screen :(

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.

If it was just printers I wouldn't think twice about just using some APs in bridged mode. For PCs I would make sure their (the users) expectations are set correctly and make sure you don't have a some database application that is real sensitive to latency running on the link. As cheap as it is to try, I would try it for one set up and then do the rest if it meets their expectations.

Depending on the units, you can get really good latency on wireless links. but you need good ones. Some people argue that it beats wired. it doesn't, but it's good enough that people start to imagine that it does.

So much for Cisco Over Engineering products

Um.... do people actually think that?

@NerdyDad said in WiFi range extender requires wifi...:

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.

What an excellent reference :)

@travisdh1 said in Some Android Devices Susceptible to Wifi Hack:

@mlnews Huh, the news story I saw on that sounded like anything using a Broadcom chipset was vulnerable, which means a lot more devices than just Android and Apple.

Anything using a specific chipset. Not sure if anything outside of phones uses that one.

We do Yealink 48G with WF40 module all the time, prior to that we used Snom wifi 5+ years ago, which was maybe the only option then. Works great, no issues above wired networks if you have a decent wifi network deployed (UBNT, Ruckus, etc)

I think it still runs Linux, so yo could probably do most of that. However that kind of defeats the purpose of being centrally managed.

VyOS, it is extremely capable. We've been on VyOS or its parent Vyatta for a very, very long time.

Ya EdgeMax is, does the USG run VyOS?

Yes, they all do the same stuff under the hood.

Ok, I didn't realize that. But like I said, I think needing to dig into the cli on the USG kind of defeats the purpose of having everything centrally managed by the controller.

I thought I mentioned it's not about fully managing, it's more about the reports/graphs.

Yes it's a bit more expensive...

Ah I missed that.

How did I know you were going to trash my windows phone ;)

Because: Windows Phone?

Seriously, with the other two operating systems, the app wraps it up nicely. So. Never checked if AT&T made a version for WP.

The app has no ability to lock down on usage. that is a monthly "add on" youhave to pay for with AT&T and TMO

now they are just syphoning money - this should be a free add-on. But that's just my opinion.

As a father of two children that will have phones, I agree.

@Jason you be careful with that!

Gig Wireless came out but GigE switches became ubiquitous. So my guess is that this will drive 10GigE adoption even faster. Wireless has low reliability and high latency, the people who want 10Gb/s networking casually will go wireless and those that want it rock solid will go wired. I'm guessing this will drive more applications to leverage it and push adoption faster.

After upgrading to the AC card on this laptop I've had no issues with the WiFi connection.

I wonder if my laptop has any AC cards available...

I have had to follow this type of procedure I believe called "side-loading" explained here: http://www.gizmag.com/how-to-install-google-apps-kindle-fire-hd-hdx/30736/

Not often, but my LAN connection goes from my dock to a switch through Powerline adapters to my other main 8-port switch and then to the router. If something fails at any number of points along that way, it's handy to have the failover.

Congrats on intentionally disabling a setting that is designed to make your system work better.

I was going for this.
