- buffoon 11y agoIronically that's the first thing I thought...
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoSometimes I'm amazed how much better consumer hardware seems to perform over enterprise wireless hardware. I just haven't seen an enterprise wireless device I was impressed with. Mind you, I assume enterprise hardware prioritizes security over performance, whereas consumer devices prioritize performance over security.
- monocasa 11y agoIDK, that sounds like a false dichotomy. Enterprise security just has you look up the credentials in LDAP on initial connect rather than having everyone use the same credentials last time I checked.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoIt's not meant to indicate it's impossible to have both fast and secure, but in terms of where a company's focus is on improving their product. Many more resources are invested in improving security in an enterprise product than performance.
