    Modest range ac AP without bells and whistles?

    Quite a lively discussion I generated here, me being the "original poster". Any recommendation would indeed have to meet FCC B regulations. I am not interested in alternative firmware rigs. They are all well and good, and I've fooled with some, but this just isn't the time to be doing that. No...

    Modest range ac AP without bells and whistles?

    Trip, I am leaning more toward to the dedicated AP unit vs. repurposing a wireless router since I have the luxury of available power and wired Ethernet at the desired location. Forgive me for sounding like a noob, which I am when it comes to APs but not PCs in general (35 years), but do you...

    VLANs in AP, switch, or both?

    I have a mixed wired/wireless network in my home where I operate a small business. There are plenty of wired PCs, but also laptops that go back and forth between wired and wireless, tablets, and smartphones belonging to myself and family members. I am trying to wrap my head around how to...
