Looks nice, I’ll have to research it more for our own use. I can’t exactly recommend that to customers though.
OK, maybe the ones that are paying $300+ for mesh WiFi systems, they seem to have lots of money for buying toys. I think leasing HW from your ISP doesn’t result in the same joy of shopping and ownership. Our cheapest leased router is $2/month and that’s still an AC router, but no, that’s too expensive for some people. They’d rather drive to Best Buy and spend $100 on a Linksys and then spend an hour trying to get it set up or pay Geek Squad another $100 to do it. </rant> Thanks for confirming that Apple doesn’t let 3rd party apps access the WiFi hardware.

Not a big ideology thing, just don’t own any Apple devices except for an old eMac in the attic and my wife’s very old iPad. So I’ve been using Ubiquiti’s WiFiman app on my phone. I’m not a big Ubiquiti person either, but the app is really quick and easy to use, so I guess it appeals to my laziness. I tried a few others and they seemed fussy and didn’t give me the info I wanted and WiFiman just works. Apparently the iOS version of WiFiman doesn’t have any WiFi features, so it would be useless to me. I’m seeing conflicting information about Apple supposedly locking all 3rd party app vendors out from accessing the WiFi info. Yet there seem to be iOS WiFi analyzers out there. Is there a good WiFi analyzer for iOS? And if it’s true that Apple locks them out from accessing the WiFi chip info, how do they do it? Or is there some official Apple app you have to use? I’m not talking about the info you get in Settings > WiFi when you go to join a WiFi network, that’s very limited, not enough to optimize your router placement and configuration. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
