If you're interested in WiFi access points beyond the consumer level but still affordable, check out Mikrotik. It's a Latvian company that makes really cool stuff. Their cheapest dual band ac access point is around $40, very small and nicely designed, PoE in and out, and works together with their ecosystem of access points and routers. They are almost endlessly customizable through ssh, a web interface, or a Win32 program (supported on Wine).
I only got my first Mikrotik a few days ago but I love it so far. Haven't yet actually connected it to another one so I can't really comment on using several access points.
- jtl999 10y agoI have a CRS125-24G-1S-RM switch and love it.
- graton 10y ago+1 on this switch. I have two of them in my home network and very happy with then, now that they are setup. Configuring them initially was kind of a pain when I was setting up the VLANs. But I got it figured out on a Saturday and now it runs like a champ :)
- jlgaddis 10y agoAny idea if Mikrotik still makes you pay $40 or so for the GPL sources and then waits to send them to you on CD until several months later?
- graton 10y agoOne issue for me is that they didn't seem to have any "nice looking" access points. I like the Unifi ones as they look pretty nice mounted on the ceiling. I took another glance at the Mikrotik site and I see they have an 802.11b/g/n ceiling mount access point, and I wanted 802.11ac. I have a Mikrotik switch that I am very happy with though.
- daurnimator 10y agoWhat about the wap-ac? https://routerboard.com/RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD https://routerboard.com/RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD
- graton 10y agoThanks. Not bad, but I don't think I want to have that on the ceiling in my living room.
