Yes, I have looked at the Ubiquity website and also noticed better pricing than BB or Amazon .. also see MikroTik is out of Markham .. (I’m in the GTA) I’m leaning towards the MikroTik based upon form factor as it would be on a desk. Also am considering a GL-iNet unit as a possible replacement...

Makes sense, thanks for the input

I have seen some comments and recommendations/ suggestions for the router and AP being the same company (so by extension the same OS). Is there any particular reason for this ? The fact that I currently run openWRT on a RPi does this have any bearing upon how a U6 ,Mikrotik or Cisco would...

Nope didn’t lose me, just busy. I’ll look at the tp link and yes the microtik looks interesting, I’ve heard of them before but never considered them. I like the price point though.. I guess as I move forward I need to understand am I better served by having a 2 stream or a 3 stream system ( we...

Sfx2000 The provider is Rogers Communications here in Canada.. as previously mentioned I had talked to their tech support regarding guest function - no success There was no suggestion about using “profile “ I’ll open the app and see what I see I’ll also go thru degrub’s link in more detail...

Thank you.. No hurry on the AC68U at this point - coverage is pretty good (but could be improved upon) faster WiFi speed from the ASUS in AP mode would be nice as my new laptop and any new devices can take advantage of that. I read that it has reached the end of support - but then if set as a...

First post.. for the longest time I had ran the previous ISP router in bridge mode and did all the work from a AC68U (DHCP, WiFi and Guest WiFi) I have switched speeds and my provider has now switch to CGM4981 router. To take advantage of the speed increase I could eliminate the AC68U and use...
