  • And they let you run 2 GHz, 5 GHz on the same SSID which is such a small stupid feature that for some reason a lot of consumer-oriented devices disallow.

    (I know, supposedly it’s “bad” to do this because apparently there are some garbage WiFi cards that aren’t smart enough to seamlessly switch between the best option, but that’s never been the case for me. I prefer this to clumsily switching manually between the two whenever I move a device.)


  • I have a Ubiquiti access point. Changing settings on the thing rarely impacts connected clients, and if it does it doesn’t take six years to restart like a typical all-in-one router/switch/AP.

    You’ll need their controller software, but I run this in Docker without issue. And if the controller goes offline the AP keeps going regardless.

    Ubiquiti in my mind is the Apple of networking. It literally just works and you won’t have to do tons of hacking to get it to do stuff.
