Andy, Mind sharing exactly what tools you use to terminate ends on this cable? We have always ordered pre-made cables, but we're interested in starting to terminate our own. We have a spool of this same cable just sitting there doing nothing at the moment. Thanks, Josh On Fri, Dec 21, 2018 at

[AFMUG] Managed whole house mesh wifi

We have been running into more and more situations where customers either have homes that are too large to effectively cover with a good router, or have so many devices at the far end of the house from where their router has to be positioned that we are looking for good options to provide better

Re: [AFMUG] Managed whole house mesh wifi

Calix is the only good method today for routers and a mesh solution that can be managed by the ISP. Powerline adapters suck and we don't use them anymore. WiFi extenders are just as bad and we tell customers to throw them in the garbage. They cause more issues than they fix. We have 850+ Calix Gig

I am running into a lot of customers insisting on putting cheap WiFi cameras outside their metal buildings and expecting their WiFi to work on the other side of the Faraday cage. I think the right answer is "don't do that", but they don't listen. I don't think any of the solutions being discussed

Re: [AFMUG] Managed whole house mesh wifi

That or POE. I see very few businesses with WiFi security cams. I think what it comes down to is once you are wiring the cameras to a central DVR or NVR, it’s cheaper to use analog cameras. I’m assuming they can power them over the coax. My point is that a WiFi camera outside a metal buil

I’m OK with 2.4 only and 1.5 dBi antenna. Preorder means who knows when it will actually be available. WiFi at router end seems redundant, Netgear kit has WiFi at one end only. Mode button looks like something for customer to push and mess up the config. Price looks right. From: AF On B

I assume the latter. I feel kind of bad for wind energy in some of the hoops they have to jump through. We have one customer who gets a check not to publicly complain about them. The hoops they have to jump through would irritate me if I were in their shoes. On Fri, Dec 21, 2018, 11:25 PM Adam Mof
