Re: [AFMUG] OT Roomba

I have a much older model, I really liked it, but it was the exact height as the gap at the bottom of the couch, it kept getting itself stuck since it never ran into anything until it was wedged in place. And you still had to empty it when it was done, almost as easy to just get out the

Re: [AFMUG] PMP450 ~50mbps cap

RF Element antennas have completely changed that equation. Because of the cost of newer APs, you can use more APs at a lower cost which shares the capacity across more APs. This allows up to 150Mbps per customer if you are using Mimosa A5cs for example. I have a site where we have 7 Prism

Re: [AFMUG] RB1100AHx4

Ordered a couple AHx4's today. We'll see. -/+48 support and dual AC does look pretty cool. I would still prefer something like that with an SFP slot or two. The CCR1009-PC's are OK, but 35 watts at a smaller site is kinda much. OTOH, the 1100AHx4 is 25W max, but buys you a few more ports. It's
