Back to the grind today. May have some questions/posts later today.

Last day of PTO during which my phone ding'd twice for work things, both of which were more HR questions than IT questions but were taken care of. Boss called me today said there will be extra in my check for handling those while on PTO.

Birthday parties to attend Sat, Sunday heading to our property to do some clean up and set up for Labor Day campout

PTO starting at 5:30. And the nice thing is I DO NOT have to take my laptop home, or check email, or worry about something breaking, or all that jazz for a week!

@scottalanmiller Its nice because I-T is getting buy in from the start AND we're segmenting who does what, unlike my old place where it would be me doing all of it the day before we move.

Got pulled into a meeting; we're moving next year and guess who gets to design the wifi for the new space. Woo Hoo.

@JaredBusch good point. In this case It's a "swap" of responsibilities; one thing I do internally is going to another employee, so no increase in salary, but (unlike last job) major responsibility removed from my plate prior to something new added.

@WrCombs Something to look forward to
Me to my "new" boss: "we should make this change to allow for better security, require everyone to MFA at least x amount"
Answer I'm expecting: We'll have to research it and pass it up the chain (that would have been my old job)
Answer I got: "You're the security officer, make it so"

Me: When did I become the security officer?
New Boss: Just now!

@WrCombs Good for you congrats and yes keep the connections I've already found that helpful in my new position.

@scottalanmiller I remember those, one of the early "kiosk's". Think pac-man looking map with an X where something was

@Dashrender I got th review unit back; and yes you can backup and restore the config from the on board controller:

@gjacobse with the way the market is going the power's in your hands

@WrCombs Congrats!!!

@scottalanmiller Yeah I'm trying to work out something for work (we resell trunks for a few different providers trying to bring Skyetel onboard as well)

@scottalanmiller was just reading the Reddit thread on this

@Dashrender I cannot get into the demo at the moment (its actually at a customer site I think right now) but as soon as I can I'll review the backup/restore procedure for the on board controller.

Preface with its Netgear
https://www.netgear.com/business/wifi/access-points/wax206/
My Dad got this and installed it without issues. I haven't personally seen the interface. He has 2 SSID one for general use and one for his IoT stuff.

@Dashrender I haven't tried Master/Slave failover on the built in controller yet, I'm supposed to get a new demo unit to play with hopefully in the next week or so; then I will have 3 to test with and can report on what I find.

@Dashrender I've only done simple config so far of a couple demo units using the built in controller. Grandstream's interface; while intuitive; is very slow. Firmware updates are known to have issues with Grandstream devices in general; no exceptions with the AP's. Many times you have to do leap frog updates if you don't keep up to date (not to mention Grandstream changes their auto update website occasionally without telling anyone!).
Why so many SSID's? I usually try to keep at as few SSID's as possible to avoid airtime congestion.

@Dashrender We resell the product and as others here have stated they are OK. I'd probably stick with Ubiquiti.
