    Cisco 891FW

    Note to anyone who orders one, Cisco does not install the PoE daughter card even when you buy the unit with it included. They also take 5 additional days to notify you it's on back order. It also does not have cisco express setup and you will need to do command line config. Once I get it all...

    Cisco 891FW

    Just got it, first shock, no 8 inch external antennas, antennas are internal, we'll have to see how that works out considering the case is metal, no rack mount for this one I'm thinking. Looks like native PoE ports, no add on internal daughter card but 4 of the 8 ports are labeled PoE ports on...

    Need to rework and improve my home WiFi

    Interesting idea, I've built PC's in Desktop humidors and those big remote controlled cars. I always keep my networking stuff out of sight so I have not given that much thought.

    Some basic VLAN help

    The Linksys1900AC supports Vlans on it's 4 ethernet ports, I have not tried it or dug into it except in passing but just noted that it is there. If each of the three apartments has one wired port this might work, don't know how well the 1900 works with 4 possibly heavy users on it or what it's...

    Need to rework and improve my home WiFi

    What about mounting a good router on the wall and covering it with a picture or other artwork ? Cut a square in the ceiling, recess a box, mount router or AP in there and cover with cotton or other thin material, cotton should let it breathe, you could also recess it in a wall as well. Just...

    Looking for a new router

    I firmly believe if you have a house and it's yours you should wire it for networking as well as coax for cable, it's a good investment. Friend of mine had a pipe leak in the wall so he has to open walls on two floors, I'm pulling cable this weekend while he has it open, a few all the way to the...

    Yes, needs a wic for a real T1. Question though, is the T-1 in there now in the room and what does it have and is it a real T-1 or is it a T1 over ethernet ?

    Monitoring multiple wireless networks

    The T43 is a bit short in horse power. I kicked off two network watchers, one wired other wireless and pegged the CPU. we'll see how it does on an HP MT 3005 with a amd dual core as soon as I finish paving it over, doing the updates and adding two more nics.

    Monitoring multiple wireless networks

    We have an avaya system, all cat6 rj45's. The wap happened to be in a spot where a POS/terminal and phone were for the maitre 'd, his podium, it got moved so I hung an AP there. In hind site I should have taken the phone jack out and just let it sit behind the wall plate out of sight. As far as...
