My want was/is a LAN-wide management tool, such as the tool UniFi {allegedly - I've not used it} & others such as ZyXEL offer; so you can see the big picture of the LAN, not the lone AP. Are they also weak spots? I fully agree re: the folly of allowing outside access to the LAN. I was looking...

I knew it was a dummy demo, but it was not clear if if was internal i.e. one unit only, or it it was external/managed all on the LAN. I'm disappointed there is not a utility for same as I've found on competitors. My concern is the heat sink fins run across the unit. That's OK horizontally...

A friend bought multiple RT-66W's and then decided to ask me how to deploy same. I've read the so-called Fine Manual, parts of the mega topic here, and other sources, but still have multiple questions. U vs W What are the differences between the U I see reviewed here and the W's he bought...

Thanks for the reassurance. I thought that was the case but the silence in the review on same bothered me...had I overlooked something?

Maybe I missed something, but my interest in this unit is for managing a gaggle of ZyXEL AP's. I thought this unit had that function but now I wonder if that's only with the USG40W which has an internal AP.

I'm seeking an inexpensive print server for a Xerox Phaser 8560N "candle-melter" aka wax printer. There are lots of adapters listed here, and I read about testing them, but printerservers need some backchannel scheme to configure them; I assume they are a special case for that reason. I...

I'm also looking at ZyXEL, based on friend's experience with them, and my own w/ their firewalls. One minus is their outdoor unit is $900 vs. $400 for UniFi, but their indoor dual freq are far cheaper. To me, it's a wash pricewise.

I've been there. One of the issues was I found it hard to find basic data to study before posting stoopid questions. Another is Ubiq has multiple disjoint product lines; UniFi is but one of their wireless offerings. But nowhere does their site bother to say that; it took a while to grok that the...

I guess I seek more reassurance/peace of mind than I've found so far reading up on UniFi. For example, their own store's search function does not show me what "Edge Light" is. {I would call their site chaotic, at best...} And this remark. And this saga. I'm also looking at ZyXEL's...

You have some objection to allowing virtually anyone in China and Russia help you run your network????????? [Not to mention Ft. Meade] I was initially excited by the ruckus over Ruckus, but not now. Still wary re: UniFi but not seeing alternatives.

Friends in 92082 have Mediacom running down the road, but they won't serve the house as it's >300ft back from the road. We're trying U-verse for IP only. In general, the best place for data and help on cable and U-verse is dslreports.com -- at the worst you'll find fellow victims. ATT is now...

Meetoo; I'm hoping to learn from those ahead of me. It seems essential given Ubiq's sales model of "jump first....look for water later...."

Argh... I was thinking you'd have adjacent floors on different channels as I do now. That way they can't interfere. Looks like UniFi ZH is worth avoiding; not sure that /dev/nulls their candidacy....

Antenna gain benefits both ends of the equation - it adds the same dB gain to a transmitted output as to the received signal...

So I've been rereading this thread seeking more clue. I have a job in an upscale house for 4 internal & 1-2 external AP's. Others have recommended UniFi but there is this sorta swiss cheese type data. Some things never mentioned to my confusion. Thoughts/questions: Router? What's that? All...
