    Finally Sick of UBNT. Need AP -Without- Corp. Network

    yup, a couple of rMBP. Indeed, I looked at Cisco too (9115AX and 9117AX) but the offering was a bit on the expensive side. Looking forward to the new APs!

    Finally Sick of UBNT. Need AP -Without- Corp. Network

    Yes I do have 3x3 clients. I also use wifi to stream quite a few IP cams and a variety of other uses so the total bandwidth matters. The TP link offering is one more I could consider. Thanks! I have been looking at Aruba, Zyxel and Engenius...

    Finally Sick of UBNT. Need AP -Without- Corp. Network

    Nothing wrong with the rev1. The two potential reasons would be: 1. Being bottlenecked by the internal gigabit limitation bug which I still need to test to see if I am affected. A back of the enveloppe calculation shows that actually 2.5gbe uplink is about just right for a 3600mbps wifi AP...

    Finally Sick of UBNT. Need AP -Without- Corp. Network

    I am now tempted to get some rev3 units to replace my rev1... will first need to validate whether I have the gigabit bug... but otherwise have been very happy with my rev1 units.

    Only 1 Spatial Stream on a 2x2 Card

    Very likely a faulty card or a bad/shorted antenna connector on the card. I would replace the card.

    and again v3 has an updated chipset: IPQ8072A vs. IPQ8072 of the v1/v2. The A version of the qualcomm chip is a significant update as it enables OFDMA in both directions. The FCC filing pictures shows a completely different PCB as well.

    Finally Sick of UBNT. Need AP -Without- Corp. Network

    Very nice. Thanks for reporting. I am honestly very happy with my version 1 EWS377AP units and am just curious as to what rev2 and rev3 provide. It seems like rev2 potentially would be equivalent of the ECW230 with a different ethernet chipset? And rev3 is a completely different PCB with an...

    Finally Sick of UBNT. Need AP -Without- Corp. Network

    Yeah I am a cloud skeptic for this kind of things though. I see the value of the mobile app for some use cases but I even much prefer not to need one at all.

    Finally Sick of UBNT. Need AP -Without- Corp. Network

    Does the cloud controller have that much more to offer vs ezmaster? As I went to download ezmaster, I was offered a 100% off coupon for a skykey so I took it. It got shipped by newegg and I must say that it is pretty good. It has almost everything you need and none of the useless and...

    WD my Cloud PR4100

    I don't think you understand how RAID5 works. Better go research it. The behavior you are describing is perfectly normal and there is no such thing as a hot spare in RAID. They are mutually exclusive and conflicting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_5...

    Use Samsung Evo 860 SSD in small NAS?

    I actually can see that SSDs provide a huge boost in performance in NAS use, not just for sustained throughput but also for random seek latencies. The endurance is the greatest concern with these SSDs but must be put within context and comparison of their HDD equivalents. The wear of the...

    Managed Multi-Gigabit Switch List

    It’s a good idea for comparison but not sure if you want to treat every port the same way? Or price per multi gig port only? How to treat the SFP+ port?

    Managed Multi-Gigabit Switch List

    There seems to be quite a few thread on this topic for people looking to upgrade beyond the long lasting gigabit standard. Increasing number of devices from motherboards to wireless APs to NAS are starting to include 2.5gbps NICs and I myself have upgraded my entire network. I thought I would...

    News QNAP QHora-301W Wi-Fi6 Router

    Indeed too rich for my blood as a router only but certainly as an AP only, it may work. And yeah, I must be old because I find these videos to be a complete waste of time and much prefer reading a review or a spreadsheet...

    News QNAP QHora-301W Wi-Fi6 Router

    Very enticing product! Too bad that for my useage case, I don't really want my router and my wireless AP to be at the same location.

    Maximum Number Of Clients On An AP Data

    Not really sure what you are looking for. The number of devices which can be connected to an AP is a limitation built in the software/firmware of the AP. You can think of the wifi radio stream as a highway lane. a 4x4 radio means it has 4 lane in one direction and 4 lanes in the other. These...

    EnGenius Now Shipping Its 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 AP for SMBs

    I am actually seeing a number of other players with on premise controller AP environment. Prices vary quite a bit but between Zyxel, Aruba and cisco, choices are increasing. The Engenius controller has its plus and minus. It definitely is not the eye candy unifi is but it offers some controls...

    EnGenius Now Shipping Its 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 AP for SMBs

    Sorry if I wasn’t completely clear. It is the EWS377 which gave me 2x the throughput of the UAPs: Peak at 0 distance from a rMBP (3x3 wifi5 Broadcom based client): UAP AC HD 600mbps UAP AC XG 580mbps EWS377AP 830mbps From a distance of about 15ft through 2 walls UAP AC HD 280mbps UAP AC XG...

    Network for 100 devices

    I can sense confusion even in the question from the OP and we can't blame him given how the consumer market has been going. I think @hussain is confusing wireless Access Point with a router since most consumer wifi access points are called "wireless routers". @hussain, you should never need...

    EnGenius Now Shipping Its 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 AP for SMBs

    Anybody knows the difference between the v1 and the v2 of these puppies? I am finding it odd that they take different firmwares which would indicate that the hardware is different but I am only seeing a very recent FCC filing for a v3 version based on the Qualcomm IPQ8072A chipset instead of the...
