Remember, this whole thread is about I want -away- from corp cloud.

I can't find ATF (and don't know what that is) but it does have a firewall which the WAP didn't, VLAN, QoS in Bronze thru Platinum, etc. The interface is kind of cartoonish compared with the WAP. On this one I didn't take it apart for pictures as I was exasperated at this point and just got it...

Thanks for your help Trip. I've also gotta say that I've been through RPi 3B, 3B+, Tinkerboard, and Arduino Yun and hated them all (except Yun). But this ODroid N2+ is dazzling. Hella fast and absolutely no glitches, running their Ubongo Mate. This is going to be running security cameras on...

Yep I gotta say, the CBW240AC is a clanging success. A bit weird to set up but not a single glitch or problem. Sent back the WAP for a refund. The 240AC is my device. It's built alot cheaper than the WAP but the signal is better and it is always there. I still do not have wifi calling for...

As it happens, this came out today: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/business-53591704/amazon-boss-jeff-bezos-rejects-claims-company-acted-like-a-drug-dealer On the WAP581 when I open my laptop in the morning I have hardly any throughput. Turn off the laptop NIC and back on again and then it's Ok...

I never never buy from Amazon because they treat their workers like peasants. I have never worked there but I am in their home town. Amazon epitomizes the commoditization of people; it is the new feudalism, and Prime customers (like my son) are enablers. Trip you've helped here alot, but if...

So I bought the WAP581 but as soon as I started setting it up had all kinds of problems. Wifi would come and go, sometimes twice in a row. And after a couple hours I lost both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. So I returned it to Newegg for exchange. NINE DAYS just to get from me to the seller, and halfway...

The APs on each floor will connect by wire to what I hope will be a combined PoE/switch/firewall appliance in the equipment room. Into its WAN port will go the ethernet directly from the fiber ONT. About as simple as it can be. The HVAC/DHW system also will be radically different than...

My support model is me, myself, and I. I've thoroughly gone through Cisco's Aironet and Catalyst lines, and they just ain't worth $500, especially 3 per house. My buyers aren't going to pay attention to it as long as it just works. If one dies they'll just get another one, or try to contact...

Hmm. I need this thing to work. And for my homebuyers I've gotta be cautious. It costs but I guess it'll be the discontinued Cisco WAP581. Appears to have an internal controller, and they only imply that it can handle slave APs ("Designed to scale smoothly as your organization grows, the...

Thanks Trip, not your fault. You've done nothing but give high-grade advice. So the Aruba AP-555 is confirmed to have an internal controller and wifi6, but $820? Nah, not for this. The Cisco WAP581 has way too much sales talk, and is not wifi6 (like the Grandstream) but has similar features...

Update: Agh, nothing from Support in 5 days. it drops out every 5 minutes or so for about 15 seconds. The new one I ordered from CompSource for some reason took 7 full days to arrive all the way from from Mira Loma, CA. And what did I find in the box? A cheap plastic stand for a microphone...

Hmm, on the GWN7630 I find that when creating a new SSID... it just never comes on. I tried making an SSID for 2.4GHz and another for 5GHz, and neither one comes up. But the (default? existing?) SSID with the grayed-out trashcan works on 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and dual. I don't want my 5GHz...

meh, you can't do me any harm. I am a monster.

lol, a guy on my staff says one day I'm going to get beaten up for airing my unvarnished opinions... But I'm 66yo, and it's about time, ain't it?
