<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body >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.<div><br></div><div>http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0089QB1SC</div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[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.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><br><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: swede <danyberg@gmail.com> </div><div>Date:09/02/2014 9:09 PM (GMT-06:00) </div><div>To: tclug-list@mn-linux.org </div><div>Subject: [tclug-list] OT: wireless access point choice. </div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_extra">OT: Looking for a good wireless router (Access Point) to reside on the Green (local) side of my IPCOP machine.

I only use it as an access point with MAC security setup and let IPCOP handle the rest. <br>

<br>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.<br>
<br>Thanks for any input, I hope to get something or at least order it in a few days.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
