    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    I am a user of UAP-AC access point. Before I used 2 Buffalo WZR-HP-450GH (450n, 2.4GHz) with DD-WRT, DHCP disabled (just as access points). The UAP-AC is mounted on the wall, not on the ceiling (prefer not to drill into ceilings). The location of the Ubiquiti gear is slightly different than the...

    Cisco RVS4000v2 router ports tagged, untagged and with VLAN trunking

    I'm helping a friend to integrate a Cisco RVS4000 v2 (donation) into a small network. The network contains a TP-Link managed switch, VLAN capable, 2 OpenWRT routers, some PC's, printers, Synology NAS and a few servers (FreeBSD and Windows). The Cisco RVS4000 v2 router was updated to the latest...

    Contest Results?

    Contest Results Hi Tim, Would be great when you announce the contest results to also announce the number of valid entrants. It gives an image of the odds to win. Perhaps also interesting bits, for example when a winning contestant did not react within 24 hours and you redirected the prize to...

    Is Your Router's Transmit Power Juiced?

    Don't understand I don't understand one thing: how can be factored the physical antenna here. If I buy a router with a tiny antenna but the transmit power right at the limit as dictated by FCC and I fit it instead with a huge antenna with a 15dBm gain, surely this will have an influence in the...

    USB Wireless Adapter with chipset RT5370

    I got an Amiko 8320 HD Satellite Receiver which I would like to connect to my network. The vendor website says it supports USB WI-FI adapters for this purpose if they have RT 5370 (Ralink?) chipset. Next to the adapters sold by Amiko (http://www.amikostb.com/?q=product&id=121) I found one on...

    PoE midspan devices test

    Hi ! I'm considering buying 2 sets of PoE (Injector + Splitter). Unfortunatelly the datasheets of those devices often lack important information supporting the right decision. Sometimes don't even mention if they are compatible 802.3af or 802.3at. Other time they are not saying if they can pass...

    Wireless test I would love to see

    Thank you Tim, My problem was that I was using a router integrated with EuroDocsis 3.0 cable modem (Ubee 3200). As such, altough all the house is Cat 6 wired, the placement of the Wireless router was restricted to the point the cable was getting into the house and not optimal. I've ordered a...

    Wireless test I would love to see

    I'm very impressed with the thoroughness of the tests performed on wireless routers and this contributed to SmallNetBuilder being my almost exclusive site to get information in this area.

    Difference between Netgear GS724v1 and GS724v3

    Hi ! My home network grown over the 1x8 port +2x5 port I was using and I'm looking to buy a Netgear GS724T switch. The problem is I can buy a new unit which appears is version 3 (also called GS724T-EU300) and a much cheaper, cosmetically challanged GS-724T-100 (version 1). I would chose for the...
