    FS: pair of Ubiquiti airMAX NanoBeam 2AC point-to-point wifi APs

    Selling two of these: https://store.ui.com/us/en/pro/category/all-wireless/products/nbe-2ac-13 We've discussed these units before, most extensively in this thread. If you need a point-to-point wireless link with up to about 250Mbps throughput, these'll get the job done. These are less than 6...

    XT8 in media bridge mode: WAN port slower than LAN port?

    I just got done tracing through a weird performance problem, which boils down to $SUBJECT. I have a pair of XT8s, one in AP mode connected to my wired net, one in media bridge mode. If I plug a device into the bridge's LAN1 port, I can get pretty nearly wire-speed iperf3 results to a server on...

    Experience with Apple Time Machine backups on Synology?

    I wonder if anyone is successfully using a Synology NAS to host macOS Time Machine backups? Years ago I tried to run TM backups on a Netgear NAS, and it kind of worked but every few months the backups would go corrupt and I'd have to start fresh. I'm aware that Apple has changed the TM storage...

    Solved Site top-level URL is busted

    @thiggins: For the last couple hours I've been getting "Safari can't open the page 'https://www.snbforums.com/'. The error is: 'Load cannot follow more than 20 redirections" when following my bookmark for SNB, or when clicking on the 'Forums' link within SNB pages. Lower-level links within the...

    Alternatives to EdgeRouter-X?

    I've been using an ER-X for several years, and generally like it, but I'm starting to get pretty unhappy about Ubiquiti's lack of commitment to that product line. The main reason I want an off-the-shelf not DIY rig is that I'd rather have somebody else worry about security updates and such, but...

    Best media bridge or ethernet-to-wifi adapter?

    I've got a couple of ethernet-only printers to connect to my network. They are not close to any wired jack, nor does it seem worth the trouble to run a cable to where they are. I'd been using a spare wireless router to connect them, but I've retired that gear and don't want to un-retire it. I...

    Mini review: Zyxel PLA6456 G.hn "2400 Mbps" powerline bridge

    I just installed a pair of these powerline units, and since I don't see much info about G.hn devices in this forum, I thought I'd pass on my initial impressions. Although I whined a few days ago about the lack of powerline gear that can operate without mains power, I do have one place in my...

    Anyone gotten Media Bridge mode to work on XT8?

    I've been trying to use an Asus XT8 in media bridge mode. It seems to work reliably if the parent AP is another XT8, but not with other gear as the parent AP (in particular, not with a Zyxel NWA210AX as AP). The behavior is very bizarre --- for instance, when I was testing just now with two...

    Are there powerline adapters that don't depend on mains power?

    I'm interested in using powerline networking to replace wifi bridging in a couple of places. However, so far as I can tell all the available products draw power from the mains they're plugged into. That's a showstopper for me, because short outages are common around here, so all my network...

    Is it possible to set host name for a ZenWifi satellite node?

    I have a pair of ZenWifi XT8 nodes that I've set up to send their logs to an rsyslog server (via the "remote log server" setting in Advanced/System Log/General Log). The primary node reports its hostname using the host name I set in Advanced/LAN/LAN IP ... but the satellite makes its log...
