Which AP do you like the best? I was looking at the AC PRO's. I think I could stick 3 or 4 of them in and have pretty good coverage.

Does the AC Pro need 2 Ethernet cables or is that to daisy chain them?

When putting a new WIFI system into a building, how do you plan how many WIFI AP's you need and where they go?

I have a 1 level business that has WIFI right now in their server room that isn't doing the job. It's not the best place to put it, but since it's a Meraki Router With WIFI that's where it ended up.

I want to make sure I minimize cost, have a solution that works and that as they move laptops throughout the building will automatically hand off to another WIFI AP smoothly w/o interruption. Central management would be nice as well. Meraki has their access points but they are pricey. We also need guest WIFI. There will be about 20 clients on the private network and 15 on the guest (we make employee's use guest for their personal devices)

So, 2 questions here:

1 - How do you determine how many AP's you need and where you need them?
2 - What brand/solution do you use the most that won't break the bank?

TY.

@scottalanmiller I had a client ask. The only benefit I see is if you had the Bitdefender box with another A/V like Webroot for example. Other than that, I didn't see much value.

What are your thoughts on the Bitdefender Box (Version 2) for home users?

Is it a detriment that the antivirus on your gateway is the same as on your PC? I have always liked having a different AV on my PC than what is on my gateway. (What one may miss the other may detect.)

I'll have to look into the legal issue. It's company owned equipment. Pretty sure Utah law allows it but I will check to be sure. I have 20 years in Law Enforcement Experience and from what I recall as long as it's a business computer it's game on. But I'll double check Utah Code.

In this case it's a request from the owner of the company. I don't have any background as to why at this time.

What is a good (Covert) monitoring software that can tell what a user is doing? I have a client who has a need to do some montioring.

Ok, thanks.

Tim,

Let me re-phrase.

I have to setup NIC teaming, but there is already the Hyper-V virtual NIC in place.

If I setup NIC teaming on the host, will it break the Hyper-V NIC?

To clarify, I have done NIC teaming before many times, but that was before setting up the hyper-v virtual NIC and before the machine was in production.

Since 1 NIC is setup for the Hyper-V Virtual NIC, can I just team another physical one with the current physical NIC or will I need to remove or reconfigure the Hyper-V?

Ok, so set up NIC Teaming on the Physical Server then?

My bad - QTY (8) 1GB Cards...

I have a server with 8 GB Network cards. It is currently setup with only 1 NIC in use. Physical NIC shared with Hyper-V virtual NICs

It's a physical server with 2 Hyper-V machines.

In order to get better network speed is it going to help to add another NIC if ultimately it's going into the same switch?

Ok, will do. Thanks!

New server soon so I'm going to keep it the same, but I am a Raid 10 fan, big time.

It's going to be replaced in the next few hours... but wanted to see if I could deal with a slow server issue in the meantime.

Yank it out now. It's already failing and you don't want a spare with a RAID 5 array, so I'd pull it out and not replace it.

Why is a spare bad?

600 GB
