    AP recommendation - replace AC68U in AP mode dropping "guest" network

    Yes, I have looked at the Ubiquity website and also noticed better pricing than BB or Amazon .. also see MikroTik is out of Markham .. (I’m in the GTA) I’m leaning towards the MikroTik based upon form factor as it would be on a desk. Also am considering a GL-iNet unit as a possible replacement...

    AP recommendation - replace AC68U in AP mode dropping "guest" network

    I have seen some comments and recommendations/ suggestions for the router and AP being the same company (so by extension the same OS). Is there any particular reason for this ? The fact that I currently run openWRT on a RPi does this have any bearing upon how a U6 ,Mikrotik or Cisco would...

    AP recommendation - replace AC68U in AP mode dropping "guest" network

    New ISP router - has no Guest function - looking for suggestions

    Thank you.. No hurry on the AC68U at this point - coverage is pretty good (but could be improved upon) faster WiFi speed from the ASUS in AP mode would be nice as my new laptop and any new devices can take advantage of that. I read that it has reached the end of support - but then if set as a...
