I have the SG2216 and I like it a lot. Been rock solid for something like 3 years, minus one incident where some ports were dropping packets. That was post blackout/powersurge however. A quick reset of the switch and it has worked great (about 16 months 24/7 operation without any issues before...

I can kind of appreciate your two suggestions. I now the broad details of LTE-U. It might be a better neighbor than another wifi hotspot, but that doesn't make it a non-existent neighbor. More crowding is more crowding, whether they are polite or rude. I'd prefer less crowding. I'd also prefer...

Make sure they changed the capacitor fluid at the recommended intervals and you should be fine.

So...on the UPS front, get small. You don't need a 600w UPS unless you are planning to plug something like a full up computer in to it (and heck, even them my i5-3570+GTX750 only pulls about 160w max, add in 25w for the monitor and I am still below half the rating). I would suggest a more basic...

A note, anything over 40-50Mbps of desired bandwidth at 200 meters and you pretty much need to go with a dedicated directional bridge or very high gain directional antennas, like 12/14dBi panel antennas, 14/16/18dBi yagi or 24dBi parabolic.

Are you really sure you don't need outdoor APs? If indoor is fine, I'd look at using TP-Link WDR3600. They work great in WPS mode. If the range isn't too great between them, bridge them on the 5GHz band. If you need the extra range, bridge them on 2.4GHz. Depending on how many hops you have and...

I am cautiously pessimistic about it. Despite the built in productions from running roughshod over Wifi and the low penetration and range of 5GHz...it just gets me back to, what is the use case? Where I can see it being used is indoors deployed like traditional wifi to cover the dead zones in...

If you have zero MU:MIMO clients, the gains are pretty much what sfx2000 mentioned, modest, but something. The big gains are if you have any MU:MIMO clients. Generally you won't see real benefits until you have at least 2 MU:MIMO clients working at once, then the MU:MIMO clients and the...

There is not. ARP is coming in over the wire to the AC68, so as far as the AC68 is concerned, they are wired clients. I have similar behavior with all TP-Link routers I have used that have client maps, they show only the devices connected to them currently through wireless as wireless clients...

Jesus, that many? Has to be including typical non-owned wireless devices. Maybe with the exception of my brother-in-law, I have more wireless devices in my household than anyone I know. Granted, the number will likely only increase as my kids get older, so my numbers are probably diluted by...

Actually that streaming audio is exactly that use case. Airplay from Apple "radio" on iPhone 6 to access point and then over the wire to the airport extreme. I'd add Airplay screen mirroring, but that is an almost never occasion (2, 3 times a year? to my Apple TV).

I've generally noticed it doesn't. The 1:1n tablet mentioned is an Asus T100 running Windows 10 (formerly 8.1). It isn't the fastest 1:1 solution out there, but it'll regularly hit 80Mbps on 5GHz 40MHz and 56Mbps 2.4GHz 20MHz. Netflix streaming typically takes 6-8Mbps of that and whether it is...

Sure, go ahead. I doubt they will intentionally honor your request.

Err, yeah 5200 probably could max out a 1Gbps connection. My Ac1750 router to an AC1900 bridge/range extender can hit 107MB/sec, which is about 860Mbps one room and a wall over. If they were same room, it might just max a 1Gbps wired connection. 802.11ac has a theoretical max with coding and...

I disagree on the video streaming unless it is video chat. Netflix, Amazon prime and youtube are all pretty tolerant of slow handoff. Their buffers all are typically several seconds deep as is most local streaming I have tried (iTunes and SMB streaming). VOIP and video chat are the only ones...

Current setup is 3 base stations. N600 Channel 11 and Channel 149+153. AC1200 Channel 1+5 and Channel 36+40+44+48 AC2600 Channel 11 and Channel 149+153+157+161. Facing the front of my house from the outside, the N600 is on the left in the garage with the antennas run to the outside rear of...

I'd still kind of consider that installing it.

I think the biggest issue you'd run in to with a bathroom would be WHERE. If you think you'd ever add a TV in there, add an Ethernet jack roughly where a TV would make sense. You could also add one for a wired audio streamer. I think the issue I would personally have is, I've never seen a...

Very much agreed. As much as I am not a huge fan of more expensive spider routers, I can't help wondering once MU:MIMO is finally a common feature if the sweet spot is going to be 5 stream routers. That could provide two 2:2 clients at the same time, four 1:1 clients or it can serve six 2:2...
