    Mesh network for campground - input requested

    Yeah... been peeking at stuff like this but... cost will be the determinant, so.... Looks more and more like Ubiquiti throughout...

    Mesh network for campground - input requested

    Currently, there are only three "AP's" per 'gateway' unit, but I believe there is a need for more "AP's" per 'gateway'... So my focus will be on 'MU-MIMO' capability to accommodate better 'throughput' per connection. (and I'm stating the following solely for the 'edification' of the owner of...

    Mesh network for campground - input requested

    Yeah.. matching fiber to module adapter is a given... I just thought that the price was pretty freaking amazing for the length... But I have a source here locally that can make this happen - if only he'd agree to this... I've also reviewed Engenius, but as you say, for what's needed this cost...

    Mesh network for campground - input requested

    THIS (right here) is why I came here... Input like this is invaluable. Trip, I had NOT thought of coax (at least not in this decade), but you're right... Any 'capable' speed would be adequate simply for local management. Possibly I may need to traipse down there again and do another 'site...

    Trip Addressing your last, point by point: 1. CONFIRM - 2 separate DSL WANs, one WAN at opposite ends of the park - **owner just informed me that CenuryLink CANNOT "guarantee" stable operation of 40Mbs at this distance (2 bonded 20MBs channels) so speed has recently been reduced to 12MBs/channel...

    Mesh network for campground - input requested

    Good point, and we started with a 'central distribution' of the original DSL access, but soon found out that due to 'obstacles', this just wasn't what we necessarily wanted. There were some trees, and some structures that WERE in place back then (buildings now removed but the trees will always...

    Hey Trip... THX for the rapid reply. Hmm... Yeah well, my "initial interaction" with Datto (just after he called me and I called them) ultimately did not really “bode well' for any further involvement with the firm. 'Nuff said, leave it there ... As regards your questions – well… I am about to...

    Mesh network for campground - input requested

    Although I'm supposedly "retired", I just got a call from an long-standing client that I 'helped' some five or seven years ago with his requirement to implement a mesh wifi network that fairly well covered his 125 acre commercial campground in the foothills of the Rockies (Colorado Springs...

    Seagate NAS220 - cannot delete a share

    While I know that lots of SNBForum users practically detest the Seagate NAS product line, I've had this incredibly dependable old NAS220 for a LONG time... a VERY long time... and it continues to work like my old 4 cylinder 1948 Jeep.. (fix this old sweetheart with a pair of pliers and...

    Remote administration app - port forwarding

    Long time no see, ya'll... Just got around to re-posting how this has been 'resolved'... Turns out the ARRIS SB6190 modem we had implemented as our cable modem was the culprit... The firmware in the Arris SB6190 (contrary to everything they told us when I called) 'blocks' certain ports (at...

    Remote administration app - port forwarding

    Newbie to ASUS routers, so forgive any perception of 'lack of knowledge'... the GUI for this router is maybe a tad - uh - 'minimal'..(?) We use a specific application for VERY secure remote access and administration called "NetOp" that (natively) uses port 6502 via TCP and UDP, which NORMALLY...
