I’ve always wanted to try one, but didn’t want to bother with the whole procurement process.

My favorite was the Amplifi, it worked flawlessly but it is expensive, and didn’t have access to the unifi controller which stunk. They answer to that has been the Dream Machine which is better but still requires it’s own Unifi Controller which stinks for what were looking for. We explored Calix extensively and even bought 25 Gigacenters and the Mesh units(Let me know if someone wants them?) but we too didn’t want to undertake using their cloud since we own our own ACS. The onboarding of the Calix ourselves into our ACS wasn’t something we have time to do so we scrapped Calix. This leaves Cambium or Ubnt We’ve been selling managed router services with the r201s for a couple years but just started testing now the r201s meshed with themselves and or the e430H wall units is working ok, or Unifi devices which we are deploying rapidly for business class applications and managing with the unifi controller. <image001.png> Ryan Hill Operations Manager Amplex Internet (419)837-5015 Ext 1047 www.amplex.net<http://www.amplex.net> On Sep 5, 2019, at 4:13 PM, Robert Andrews <i...@avantwireless.com<mailto:i...@avantwireless.com>> wrote: We had customers try orbi and found a couple of problems. 1st was that you could not set the channel that it used for mesh. There was a place to in the config but it didn't actually change anything ( it lied ) and if it chose a channel we were delivering on, all hell broke loose. Second was that we had a customer pick theirs up from Costco when they were selling them and when the customer went to upgrade the firmware ( hopefully to fix the mesh channel thing ) there was no firmware available for the mesh unit they had purchased. They looked, we drove out there and looked, The unit number was nowhere in the orbi support firmwares and could not be upgraded. Disqualified because of those two things..

What we looked at was: Ubiquiti Amplifi – worked great in our tests, but there is no remote management option Calix Gigacenter – also worked great, but really need to commit to their cloud management. That was too big a commitment for just the few meshes we do TP Link, Google and a bunch of others – all would likely work, but most didn’t have remote management and/or a dedicated backhaul channel. Mikrotik – Not really in the same category, but wasn’t a serious consideration as it was way to complicated and under performing Netgear checked the boxes that were important to us: Readily available Remotely manageable Dedicated backhaul channel Reasonably priced Passed our simple testing Regards, David Coudron *From:*AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com>> *On Behalf Of *Clint Wiley *Sent:* Thursday, September 5, 2019 1:36 PM *To:* af@af.afmug.com<mailto:af@af.afmug.com> *Subject:* [AFMUG] Mesh whole house wifi Hi all, For those of you offering ‘whole house’ wifi services, what are you deploying? We know that the one sore point for our users is wifi coverage. Our ONT vendor (zhone) has been promising a solution for almost a year now but it still isn’t ready and, quite frankly, lacks the end user management features others might have. We’d like remote management so we can assist in setting SSID’s and changing passwords, et.
