    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    Thanks much, Dreamslacker As a noob, it took me a while to figure out that WLAN is only available in UniFi 3.0, which is only avail in beta. Once I figured that out, it worked fine. Thanks, again.

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    UniFi Update As quick update, I got my 3 APs a day early. Hook them up in no time. What a breeze. So far, so good... Quick question for the UniFi users, do I do anything to enable Zero-Handoff Roaming? I set all three AP's to the same channel with same SSID. That it? Thanks

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    Hey Joker, Thanks again for your in-depth reply. One of the areas of concern we've been skirting around is the novice user. My wife and kids are the biggest users of the wireless network. Between ipads, vitas, etc., they are heavy users, but don't really understand the wireless...

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    Yep. Makes total sense. I'm definitely interested in Ubnt. I'm thinking 3 UniFi AP's should work. What about the router? Cool to use my Asus or AirportExtreme or should I get something commercial? Ubnt's edge router? Thanks, much

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    More Power? Would it be better to go with one higher powered AP like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055PKSG6/?tag=snbforums-20 I have a large three story house (finished basement) with a lot of wireless clients (iPads, iphones, etc.). I thought multiple APs was the was to go, but maybe...

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    I have two SSIDs (main, guest) and have them on 1, 4, and 8. I'll explore the roaming adjustments.

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    Tim, I am still having challenges with my home network. I have mix of Asus (main router/AP) and apple (wired APs). I have constant complaints of slow wireless speeds. I suspect part of the problem is as you point out. Any solutions? Will a system like Open Mesh solve this problem...

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    Thanks, much!! Is this the post you were referring to: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showpost.php?p=80754&postcount=4? I forgot about inSSIDer. I downloaded it and will start poking around. Right off the bat, I noticed that I two of the AP were on the same channel. I now have all...

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    Thanks, Tim. Isn't the throughput hit from "wireless hops"? Since I have ethernet in most rooms, won't the throughput be maximized? I may have one AP in the kitchen that will use a wireless hop, but that will be the exception vs. rule. I agree with your suggesting different hardware...

    Mesh vs redundant WAP routers

    Same Boat I am in the same boat as the OP. I am contemplating the Open Mesh system for my home. I have failed to create a redundant AP network (Asus RT-N66U as the main, Airport Extreme and Express as APs). I've used the same SSIDs, set the airports as AP's only, etc, but still have...
