DON'T avoid 1,6,11 - those are the ONLY non-overlapping 2.4 Ghz channels and if you use anything besides those in the US you're just ruining multiple bands. That's the reason I don't like seeing Auto for the channels. |
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder." |

Then there are the "smart" guys (or routers) who will use 40MHz 2.4GHz channels off the 1-6-11 grid because no one else is using those channels. I see these guys move around -- probably auto searching for the "best" channel. I'm amazed that my urban WiFi works at all. A quickie scan turned up over 150 access points. I suppose a few of these are drive-by's. At the moment there is only one guy on channel 10 with multiple access points. Of course, some of his access points are 40Mhz. Fortunately, it's not a major upset for my phone because it is still claiming slightly over 500MBPS download, while sitting one room removed from the Gateway. |

There's the reason the 5Ghz and 6Ghz spectrum was made. For new builds, I treat 2.4Ghz bandwidth as providing Bluetooth-level service for WiFi devices. Sure there might be slightly longer range than Bluetooth, but I don't put high throughput, time-sensitive devices there. Personal mobile devices should connect to higher-bandwidth bands unless they have to fall-back to the slower, more congested 2.4Ghz radio space because they are roaming outside the primary coverage area. |

Apple phones hang onto nodes that are well past useless, as you saw in the logs showing returning to weaker ones- Apple knows it, but they don't have answers. It’s called “Apple Claws”; affectionately of course. And because it exists, some sort of controller is needed to kick the device off, just like Brad’s system he recommended. |

Tell your client that the fellow responsible for the airport series from Apple started a new company when they ceased the offering. That company is called Ubiquiti..

As soon as I read that they wanted to disrupt the market, I bought one of their routers. IIRC, it was about $30 and it worked great. |

I've been using mostly eero, like a lot of Sonos Dealers. Seem to have no problems that I know of. Should I not use it?
