We are doing the pure cambium solution using the cnmaestro with all of
it is AWESOME!
Inventory track is easier with a simple hand scanner products come in
and get scanned straight to cnmaestro where they wait to on boarded.

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 whole house coverage. We have worked with
Powerline extenders, but consider them to be too inconsistent for wide
spread use, and have worked with some wireless extenders. The
wireless extenders have a pretty big impact on wireless speed that we
aren’t excited about them as a go forward solution. We also can’t
log into the powerline or wireless extenders without some port
forwarding work in their main router. We have played around with
some mesh options, particularly the Ubiquiti Amplifi product, which we
really like, but feel like it is not an option since we cannot manage
it remotely. Netgear Orbi certainly seems like a viable option, but
kind of spendy if you need 3 nodes. Cost isn’t necessarily an issue
since customers will buy this equipment rather than us fund it, but we
don’t want the solution to be so expensive no one opts for it. I
know there has been a few threads on managed routers, but this seems
like a little bit different take since we are going to have customers
buy the equipment, but would like to be able to manage remotely. I
suppose one option would be to still provide an inexpensive managed
router as we currently do and have them manage the mesh system on
their own. Any thoughts on what has worked well for whole house mesh
systems, especially in a remote management situation?
