    Network Advice

    One thing to take into consideration is that it may not just be the wireless that slows down under load, but your Comcast connection as well. If lots of people in your area can get on, your bandwidth can be affected. Do you have the regular Xfinity connection? You may try to upgrade to a...

    Access control on Device basis (MAC)

    Yeah, I read what the OP said, but I assumed they would be open to alternatives and was just brainstorming a little bit. I agree RADIUS is probably more flexible in the long run but depending on what they need to restrict access to, it may be easier to do via VLANs. In any case, I don't think it...

    Access control on Device basis (MAC)

    This feature is available in a lot of enterprise firewalls. You are allowed to define address objects based on MAC address and other objects based on IP. Basically you set an allow rule to allow the objects access to your specific host and then a deny rule for everything else. You can probably...

    Thoughts on network upgrade

    Yeah, the lack of a console port is annoying, but I have never had a problem configuring the 2724 and they are cheap or free. Or get the 2824 if you need a console port and want something newer. Or a Cisco SG series if you like Cisco. For basic layer 2 stuff in smaller networks or home, they are...

    Thoughts on network upgrade

    Taking your switching off of the router completely is really going to help you out. The switch handles all of the traffic unless it is going out on the WAN. eBay is full of managed Layer2 enterprise stuff you can get for $100-$200 and will last a long time. Something like a Dell 2724 or HP...

    WiFi options for small multi-company office building.

    The ability to support multiple SSIDs is not the same thing as having good performance. One of the first things I do when people ask me to look at a wireless network is try to reduce the number of SSIDs as much as possible. Meraki has a good primer here...

    Edimax WAP1750 & CAP1200 Pro APs review

    I don't really have it in optimal positioning right now. It is wall mounted vertically about 6 feet up in a corner bedroom. However, the range has been really great. My main AP previously was a 5th gen Airport Extreme and both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz radios are really good. Most of my devices...

    Edimax WAP1750 & CAP1200 Pro APs review

    Wanted to add in that I tried the Edimax CAP1250 recently. The system overall is not bad, but wow is the interface terrible. I saw the same problem where the 5Ghz radio shows up as country code JO. I am running the latest firmware. Tech support has been helpful, but not much they can do so far...

    Edimax WAP1750 & CAP1200 Pro APs review

    How has the testing been for the Edimax and the ENgenius APs? I am looking into making the wireless network in my home robust. Currently using 2 Airport Exstreme access points in AP + Extender configuration. It works OK, but starting to notice some problems when a lot of devices are on the...
