You actually have no idea what they do at all. But that’s fine - I’m not replying in this manner to tear your opinion to shreds because I don’t have the time, energy or patience to read it. And from here on out I stripped out all the extra stuff because, well, it doesn’t actually matter to anyone on the list. And, Jim, you just successfully got me to stop providing real world feedback in this forum. well, actually, you got me to stop reading your replies. No formatting, no sense and not warranted/needed in the discussion. So I move on without you. What does matter is: You get what you pay for. If you buy a $50 solution for a $5,000 problem it’s not going to work. I do video surveillance and door access control design and installations. I also do high-capacity, high-speed wireless network deployments across large areas. You get what you pay for. If you put a $25 lockset on a door and someone breaks it open - you got what you paid for. If you put a $100 wireless access point outside that doesn’t have weatherproofing (Ubiquiti) and it fails under temperature or conditions - you got what you paid for. Off the shelf hardware does off the shelf function; Mesh, mobility and hand-off functions of wireless devices are not off the shelf functions. Even if they claim they support it - you get what you pay for. — Ryan _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
