Who is your provider? On Sep 02, 2014, at 10:28 PM, Justin Krejci <jus at krytosvirus.com> wrote: I had been struggling with wifi at my house. I finally settled on the Ubiquiti UAP Pro. It supports dual band, PoE, VLANs, and has fantastic throughput performance[1], fantastic wifi connection stability and excellent wifi range. I absolutely love this thing. It also has a pleasant ring shape for easy aesthetic display on a wall or ceiling. It does not support the newer AC standard but I also have exactly zero AC capable devices. It easily met all of my needs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0089QB1SC The only real problem I have with it is it requires the wifi controller software to manage the Config but once I got all the ssid and vlan settings put in place I don't really need to do make changes. I've never had to reboot it either though with PoE, I can just bounce the PoE switch port to reboot it. [1] about 220 mbps wifi throughout on my laptop to speedtest.net and about 95 mbps on my Android phone with the speedtest.net app both using 5ghz. I got over half both respective values on 2.4ghz. Yes, it was rather ideal test conditions but still it was impressive to me and I've tried a lot of home wifi router/ap products. -------- Original message -------- From: swede Date:09/02/2014 9:09 PM (GMT-06:00) To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: [tclug-list] OT: wireless access point choice. OT: Looking for a good wireless router (Access Point) to reside on the Green (local) side of my IPCOP machine. I've been using a WRT54G2 for many years now and am looking for something that will work as well but newer and faster. I only use it as an access point with MAC security setup and let IPCOP handle the rest. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B0CQCCC/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=31028616925&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13806167873235774101&hvpone=115.09&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_59m2uyqnzx_b is what I was thinking, the Trendnet stuff I have here is working flawlessly and it was very cheap. Any others I should look at in that range with those options? At the moment I think the best connection I have in the house is 802.11 N, but I figure I'd get one with 5Ghz for future compatibility. Thanks for any input, I hope to get something or at least order it in a few days. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
