    iOS 14 WIFi Privacy & WPA3

    WAP571 New Firmware

    Hi Guys, Being a little slow with firmware updates, a couple of days ago, i updated my WAP571 access points to the latest 1.1.0.3 and the transformation is brilliant.

    Hi guys, Could someone explain in reasonable detail, the advantages of using DNSmasq instead of the standard DNS set up? I have considered setting it up on my ER4, but i'm not sure what 'performance' benefits it would bring to my network & devices. Thanks :)

    Hi Guys, Currently running the Draytek, but have an opportunity to grab a 260P at a reasonable price. Would the 260 be better in overall performance? I am running 2 x WAP571 access points, so i could use that with these, and re configure the Draytek to act as modem only. Thanks

    Hi all, Currently running 2 x Cisco 2702i APs with a 2504 WLC but would like to simplify things. Looking at the UAP AC PRO as a possible replacement to the above to do away with the controller etc and was wondering if the Ubiquiti would be the ones to go for, or maybe something else? I...
