Hey all, more of a Meta question here. Can anyone recommend a good IT primer? I've just set up a unifi AP AC but would love to know more about getting *the rest of the story* in regards to hardware firewalls, switches and routers. Thanks. PS, I lucked out and Fios 500/500 is cheap in my

Thanks for the review Alex. It's nice to see a field report talking about the pros and cons. My license with Meraki is up in June and I've already started building a shopping list. Ubiquiti has been high on the list for some time. I'm also looking at their routers. --- Glen Ferguson Cowork

We have been slowly switching to UniFi hardware and it has been stable and I'm happy with he tech. I've been a fan of PFSense for a long time and have helped a few spaces get set up with nice firewalls. I buy refurbished desktops on NewEgg for 1-200 and then grab a nice dual or quad Intel gbit

We found a deal on a Unifi AP (2.4ghz only) and an AP Pro. We put these on our top floor and still have our Airport Extremes on the bottom floor. One of our members just sold us a UAP-AC but we haven't hooked it up yet. We figure we would put it in place of the 2.4ghz only AP. Eventually we'll

No. In general it's not a good idea to extend wifi. Just plug everything in to a hard line and you should be good to go. On Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 1:12 PM, Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking baut...@gmail.com wrote: Do the UAP extend the Airport Extreme signal? -- Visit this forum on

Craig, Thanks for posting this we are about the same size and were just about to try out the Asus RT-AC68U as a compliment to our Airport Extreme(s). I have also heard good things about Aerohive http://www.aerohive.com/products/overview/access-points.html, but am not set on anything

Creative Density is about 3500 sq. ft. in an old manson. We have two independent internet connections from Comcast and Centurylink each piping in 30+mbps each. However, people, mostly windows machines but many of them new within the last year, are having connection issues. They get on and it's

A) Separate your wireless access points from your router. You want a single router that provides network + internet to the entire network, and the wireless access points to be “dumb”, in that the wireless access points only provide a wireless connection to the network. B) Its time for you
