I do love those R7800s! from about 15' ft away.

I finally figured the problem of WPA authentication failures, after about 5 days of fooling around with VLAN configs, resetting Edgerouter, checking cables etc., and its something I should have checked first. It didn't ring a bell as I haven't had this issue before. Turns out the band with...

So, an update after about 3 weeks of using the Omada. Things were going fine, I took it one step at a time, getting the EAPs and controller up and running, wait a few days, and added multiple SSID on their own VLAN IDs, made the edge router VLAN aware, this was working with dumb unmanaged...

Are you saying that it would be counter productive to add more APs to, say for example, get a signal strength profile better than -60dB across a desired area in order to get better link rates and therefore attain higher dl/ul speeds? I.e. near the 450 end of the range.

Set up one of the 225 APs in the family room, this is pretty much the center of the house. All I can say is WOW! the signal strength is bettert than -65db in all of the first story except for the farthest ends when it drops to around -68db -71db on 5G 2.4G is disabled. speeds are raging from...

Ordered Omada two 225 and two 235-Wall last week. Just set up the controller on a docker. Have not set up the APs yet. One 225 in Family room and one in Data area. the 233-wall will go in the master bedroom and bedroom 2 or game room.

Thank you Trip for your truly helpful responses! TP link does look a lot more affordable than the Ubiquity kit albeit with 2x2 or 3x3 APs. I noticed some HD APs from TP coming soon. I'll probably wait till the BF deals come through. to make a move.

I am actually trying to map out where I would place the APs and how many, I've attached an updated floorplan with all the ethernet locations and dimensions. What the floor plan does not show is another room on the third floor right above the family room and almost the same size used as the...

No problem with Dockers, I have two always-on servers running, well three if I count home assistant nuc Interesting, so adding so multiple APs on different channels actually increase throughput? i.e. two 1350 X 2 AP = 2700? I didn't realize this, thanks for highlighting. Defnitely down the...

To me the $300 range sounds OK, as I could probably unload the r7800s on ebay for around half of that or more.

I was thinking about getting a couple of unbiquity uap but didn't. These devices do require a bit configuration, POE runs and cloud based software. I basically chickened out. I'm unclear as to what benefit these may have over AIOs or mesh systems. I also see lots of people swear by the...

I don't have google home pod, but I use the home app on android phones and tablets. Most of my issues are around casting audio to receivers using the android devices. The devices are on, and airplay works, google cast does not. I find that restarting the receivers/speakers by completely...

Floorplan

Been a lurker for a while, joined to ask for advice/help. There's a lot of Over the years I've been committing my old routers to AP duties as I have move into larger homes. Recently after changing one of my APs I started seeing having dropped connections in the overlap region (both APs -65 to...
