Luckly I only bought one of those. Just ordered the SB-PWR-48V power adapter from Amazon. Should arrive...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    The Cisco WPA 581 did not come with a power adapter or a POE. (Surprising for such an expensive device). When I ordered them from amazon it shows TrendNet is the one that most people purchase with it. There wasn't any Cisco power adapters or POE from Cisco available on Amazon. So I ordered 4x...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    The router didn't come with a power source. So I'm using a Trendnet TPE-115GI/A with a 6ft CAT6 cable from the router and another 6ft CAT6 cable to router. I just swaped it out with an EnGenius EPA5006GAT 802.3AT/AF. I'll redo the tests now and report back... that didn't go to well. The ping...

    Slow Speeds on Cisco WAP581

    I purchased 4 Cisco WAP581 to be used in a new house in 2 months (ethernet backhaul pre-wired in ceilings) I got them earlier so I can test everything before having to drill holes for these massive routers in the ceiling. So I'm testing one now and I'm very disapointed in the speed vs the AT&T...

    Looking for Advice on Mesh with Ethernet Backhall on large property

    If you look on the 2nd floor https://imgur.com/2p62bvx Opposite the washer/dryer is the LVP panel. I've also requested a dedicated 120V for that panel so it should clean power. All the network great will be in that panel.

    Looking for Advice on Mesh with Ethernet Backhall on large property

    Genius! Thank you, I didn't think about that. I'm thinking forget about the ceiling mount in the garage but having it on the right wall 8ft high. This would also have the AP much farther away from all the other APs

    Looking for Advice on Mesh with Ethernet Backhall on large property

    If you look at the photos. Every "L" is a CAT6 outlet. Except the "L cam" those are external POE cameras. I understand these are the clear air patterns but I do not want to add more than 4 APs, that would just mean a large amount of cross talk. So I want to understand the best locations for the...
