    Need a recommendation for a split PoE gigabit switch for home networking

    I would have recommended aruba networks, however my latest support experience with them has sucked so much it almost made me cry and It takes a lot to make me cry!!!! tears of anger and dissapointment. It takes a lot to make me mad too. I'd say for you find a good deal on xirrus arrays or cisco.

    I need a new router and ap

    Do you need a beefy firewall? That's gonna alter a lot of recommendations. If yes then a PFsense box+an Aruba RAP109 AP would do the trick. I can sell you one, as I have a spare but I'd have to charge 450 to cover shipping+firmware updating If no then you can get a Meraki Z1 and then get a...

    Wireless Solutions Poll

    Xirrus :) They are designed for a lot more users. The XR630 I've tested is Maximum Associated Users 240 (120 per radio). or you can get a few of their even bigger arrays that have several APs in them. Did a quick review of the XR630s and the configurability is amazing. Xirrus was used at...

    what's up with my router 2.4 wireless problem? RT-N66U

    You got two overlapping networks. Do any of those use another channel (40Mhz) that might show up when their routers switch on the bond? That might give you an idea. If all else fails: You may want to switch to 11, as there are no overlaps and weaker co channels.

    VLAN & Dell PowerConnect 2816

    Does your APs have "management" VLANs like the Xirrus arrays do? I know I can't have my ports set to drop untagged traffic on my meraki Z1 to my Xirrus arrays since it uses out of band XMS cloud management so it can sync between the two arrays and I can monitor them on the go. (it also has...

    Larger WLAN antenna not boosting signal - why?

    Hmm I had excellent range with the MX60W that I tested.... Did you configure those to use a non-congested channel??? What were the specs of the environment?

    Larger WLAN antenna not boosting signal - why?

    This! Having multiple APs with layer 3 roaming is even better. Cisco Meraki does it and doers it easy. I recommend those. You can do it with an MX appliance or a VM concentrator.

    Fortinet Fortiwifi 60D wired+wlan same subnet

    Is there a way to make the wired network share the same IP range as the wired without redoing ALL the interfaces and clearing ALL DHCP and ALL policies? I want the wired and the wireless to BOTH have 192.168.3.xxx range. CLI or GUI options I'm comfy with.
