Glen, smart move with the music on wired connection to suss out where the issues are. To your question, we only have AP Pros, so that’s where the issue has been.
Miguel, you’re making me think maybe we have too many devices on one AP. I figured that the AP would refuse new devices but allow all of the current ones to continue. But if you’re suggesting that the AP gets overloaded and freaks out, that could be our issue. -bryan --- +1 805 712 0311 (NYC, usually) @bryanboyer > On May 24, 2015, at 5:59 AM, Miguel Calero <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am really a fan for the Unifi AP and we use at coSfera > (http://www.cosfera.es <http://www.cosfera.es/>) since the very beginning. > First with a pfsense, then with a Mikrotik as router.
