    Network Limbo, Planning on AiMesh, WiFi 6e

    I have taken you two's advice. I put an order in on 225's and a TL-SG2008P. I'll run the Omada controller on the server. The price difference between the 225 and 245 is $40 right now. That's a $120 diff. I'll roll that into the Wi 6 or Wi-Fi 6e versions when they come down in price and aren't...

    Network Limbo, Planning on AiMesh, WiFi 6e

    TP Link Archer C7 + Smart Home = Overload?

    I have 2 AC1750's set up as access points. They've served well for years. Ever since I added many SmartLife smart switches to the house, the routers periodically become wirelessly unresponsive.

    Building out wireless network for a factory

    Talked with NetGear. They suggested the WAC540 being a better option than Orbi. Orbi Pro won't work because of 2 strings of Orbi Pro would be needed, one for each floor, and no roaming between the two.
