get a mikrotik they're dirt cheap and they have a fully functional web ui the interface is not friendly and the documentation is all wikis and forum posts, just like god intended if you learn to use one you will feel like you have accomplished something

i poo poo on mikrotik only because i didnt keep up with the vuln-list listserv or w/e and that bosnian piece of poo poo got 0dayed and i ended up getting my IP banned from amazon, netflix and google because i was flagged as running an open http proxy That being said, that was on me. i will never again run any network hardware that isn't ubiquiti, and i don't give a poo poo if you're annoyed at their subscription model for their newest products so don't bother clicking the button and typing. get an edgerouter, it works forever, no monthly fees, you're good.

I replaced that thing with a Buffalo router and then wondered why I waited so long.

it's good that they made these stackable, you know for when you have a need to have 10 WAPs on top of each other.

# ? Nov 13, 2023 05:11 |

you could stack your cable modem, fast ethernet switch, and wireless router if you wanted, i guess. the wrt54g wasn't the only thing available in that form factor e: i recall they had separate router (BEFSR41) and wap (WAP54G) so i guess you could have up to 4 if you also had a separate modem and switch Raluek fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Nov 13, 2023 |

I work at a 95% ubiquiti powered wisp and we saw the writing on the wall during the last ubnt training where they have gone subscription and full app even on the non-unifi gear which is lmao, superceding even their own management systems we have 7k+ ubnt devices network wide and we're running away as fast as possible now

Asymmetric POSTer posted:what are you switching to cambium for a lot of things (3.65 cbrs currently and soon 6ghz) we use mikrotik for <900m 60ghz stuff but cambium is not at all competitive in cpe cost* and 'tik is total goofy poo poo garbage in 5ghz, so the answer is ubnt for the foreseeable future *generally customers pays msrp for the cpe or 36mo lease @4%/mo so a $1200 cpe is a non-starter

Jonny 290 posted:they also had nat table memory on the order of kilobytes so that's why everybody was always "you gotta reboot your router every 72 hours" I once saw this product you could plug into an outlet, then plug your wireless router's power into that, and it would connect to your wifi and when the wifi stopped working, it would power cycle the router for you. It was one of those genius solutions for a problem that doesn't need to exist
