    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    Interesting, hadn't even heard of Eero. Had it been out 6 months ago I might have tried it instead of paying to get wires run through my wall, though nothing beats wires now that I have them ;) Frankly I'm soured on wifi a bit. I think in most cases unless you put a lot of work in that it's...

    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    Lol.. unfortunately my main problem is impatience and poor impulse control. I have this trick I use to convince myself to buy expensive stuff. I figure a nice AP that works well will last me at least 5 years, so $450 price difference over 60 months is _only_ $7.50 a month!

    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    This delay is killing me here.. My wireless is terrible and I'm itching to put in a ceiling mounted AP with PoE smack in the middle of my house. But it seems nobody knows when we'll actually be able to get these, I have a pre-order in right now but if they won't be available until December I'm...

    EdgeRouter vs Microtik

    Thanks for the input guys. I decided to go whole hog since my switch is rack mountable I bought a cheap 6U rack and an EdgeRouter 8 pro. Having linux available will open some options for me and from your and other's description the user friendliness seems a bit better, even though some stuff is...

    EdgeRouter vs Microtik

    So I'm debating between the Microtik 1100AHX2 and the EdgeRouter 8 ER-8, they both seem roughly the same price. I'm mainly upgrading because I have a crappy old Buffalo wifi router with wifi turned off doing my routing, and I want more features, some hobby stuff, and something that will route...

    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    Hmm.. looks like these aren't really out there much yet in stores, probably the next few weeks. Any opinions on how these would compare with, say, the D-Link DAP-2660? I'd be looking at the POE Pro model.

    Do these new 3 radio routers solve repeater b/w issue?

    Makes sense, but you'd be stuck using a slower 2.4GHz link for either clients or the backhaul with dual band routers. Seems you could backhaul one of the 5GHz radios and then have both 5GHz and 2.4GHz clients getting full on AC1xxx (1600?) speed from the extender's clients, right?

    Do these new 3 radio routers solve repeater b/w issue?

    I see the latest ac3200 routers have 2 5ghz radios. Does this mean in repeater mode you could get well over 50% bandwidth now?

    Broken power button

    My stupid power button broke. It no longer "sticks" shut. And I wasn't even near the router when it broke, it was powered up in normal operating mode and just shut down on its own. How ridiculous is that? I've never even heard of such a thing on a moderately high quality piece of consumer...

    Amped Announces AC1200 Router

    Hi - I'm in the market for a new router and was about to pull the trigger in the RT-AC66U but I see that Amped Wireless is coming out with their AC router in a few weeks. What's the consensus on the Amped routers? Think it's worth the wait or should I pull the trigger on the Asus? I can...
