Well, I've been contracting for long enough to know that there's always one guy who thinks he's getting a deal on equipment, but when the time lost debugging the "deal" costs way more than he saved. But, I give my best recommendation and if it's ignored, the extra cost should be considered a...

Quick update. We installed the Omada and it has been working flawlessly for the past two weeks--better than I expected. SNB is a great resource. Thanks for the input!

Well, now you have--and it ain't a Good Story. The good news is that the owner won't be buying any more networking equipment without consulting first... (hopefully) I'll update you guys with the results of the Omada.

Yeah, well one of the owners purchased this: Wireless Bridge 3-Pack, without my input, so we installed it. It seemed to work enough initially. In looking at my original diagram, I see that I kind of messed up the map. The "C" antenna is about two units to the left (which would be the left side...

I appreciate the input -- I have some experience with Ubiquiti and it wasn't positive. However, at this point, we're not looking to replace the ASUS routers, what I was really hoping for is some real-world experience/recommendations for outdoor antennae that can go more than 300 ft, reliably...

I set up a new office for our company. We're small but growing. Our boss just acquired another office to accommodate our growth and he's asked me to help set up the network in that office. I am, by trade, a software engineer but I enjoyed the challenge of setting up the initial office (after...

I originally posted this as a response but I think I needed to post it as a new thread to get some better input: Our company has expanded to more spaces in our existing complex. In the diagram below, used to only have Unit 14 in both buildings but the landlord prohibited external antennas --...

So, here's an update! The owner of the business decided to add a drop at the building across the alley that has it's own router and subnet. So the initial problem was solved. Now, for something new (or at least expanded...) To be clear, here, I am primarily a software guy who has slightly...

My challenge: We have two buildings in an office complex, separated by a wide alley -- say, 30-50 feet apart. I want to link the networks in the two buildings so they are the same network. Buildings are all cinderblock (except for the metal doors, of course). The kicker is that the landlord...

Bickering aside, I'll try to answer the post. I'm in the USA and I use NordVPN. Worked well on my AX88U (which got the NAND disease) and also on my shiny new RT-AXE7800.

Following up — a little under a year later, I find myself in the same boat. What direction did you finally go?

My Topology: One AX88U plus three AX92U as AiMesh nodes. One of the AX92Us is connected to the AX88U via ethernet (set to AX88 as the backhaul.). Using standard ASUS firmware (3.0.0.4.388_22525) It had been working OK for awhile. But it would drop the non-hardwired nodes now and again...

Addendum -- I'm trying to determine if the issue is the router or our service provider.

Bump. I seem to be getting this on my RT-AX88U (with two RT-AX92U in the mesh as well.) Coincides with temporary internet outage. Anyone know what the source of this might be (my guess would be the firewall, but no actual idea!) Unusual entries in log as the time of the interruption: Jun 27...

Well, the business is going to expand (hopefully!) and will be running the phones off of the PoE ports as well. To support the phones+cameras, I settled on this for my L3 PoE switch: Cisco SG350-52P. They just upped the cameras to 10, so I thought a 24 port might get tight so I opted for the...
