Are airconsole devices from https://www.get-console.com/shop/ reliable? It's hard to find much information about them but we're looking at trying out one of the 4 port models as they seem to fit our need

We have used these a few times. The wifi broadcast range wasn't very great, like the server room is across from my office and separated only by plexiglass window, maybe 15 feet of travel... and it was dropping quite a few packets and had to be reconnected a few times.

On the other hand it beats having to bring a laptop into the server room to hook up a console cable, so overall I was glad to have it.

Ah thanks for the info, it's good to know people have used them. I don't think distance should be an issue as we're planning on using the multi-port device server model with a Cradlepoint LTE connection on the rack for out of band management to some Cisco C1000s and PA firewalls at remote locations. I know Opengear is the real answer to what we need but budgets are tight currently.
