Re: RE: Wireless Access Points?

["Tracey Gardner" <tracey.gardner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks to all those who replied regarding my Wireless Access Point
query.
I've decided to go with the 3 pack Ubiquiti UniFi and Toughswitch POE
adaptor recommended by Richard.
It just so happens that I planned to split the house into three zones so
the
UniFi pack suits me.

Many thanks

Tracey

Hi Phil,

I guess that the creatures your playing with are the Pro 2.4 & 5Gig
version? What do you think of them?

I've currently got the 3 pack Ubiquiti UniFi UAP 300 Mbps installed at
home - brought for a customers project and installed at home to see
what I can do. Liked them so much that I kept them installed and
brought some more to replace the customers ones! The only thing is
that I probably wish I'd gone for the pro to have the 5 Gig as well.

Brought from Linitx.  Looking at going on the two day training course
sometime soon, to learn more about them and also the 2 day course on
the Ubiquiti point to point AirMax links that they do.

The 3 pack was £164.03, Also got the Toughswitch POE adaptor for
£76.80 as they didn't like my existing POE switch. The included power
supplies have cloverleaf sockets on them, but prefer POE anyhow.

I have no connection with Linitx. Just a happy customer.....

Hi Tracey, If I remember your not too far away from my house. I'm
happy to show you the Ubiquiti units if that helps...

Regards

Richard
