Hmm. I just took a look in the Administration -> Upgrade menu. Looks like there are two different versions of 200.15 available for upgrade now. - 200.15.6.112.52 - 200.15.6.12.304 I wonder if this means the issues previously mentioned with 200.15 have been patched. (I'm currently on...

Thanks for the heads up. I will poke around. What I am missing is a little bit more history in the standard metrics. Maybe that is there already but I just haven't found it yet, so this one may be on me. The standard Unleashed charts and graphs are helpful (bandwidth use charts, client...

Yikes. OK. Maybe that is not in the cards.

I'm glad I'm not alone. :p So, is there a way to get more detailed tracking and trending out of Unleashed? I have found a drop down on some screens that will let me see the last 12 hours, but anything beyond that seems to be lost. I did enter an IP address to have Unleashed send logs to my...

So I installed the R650's last night, and apart from the short stint where one wouldn't grab an IP address and I spent way more time troubleshooting than I care to admit just to find I forgot to hit "apply" after changing the DHCP static IP assignment in OPNSense... (Seriously, I will never...

Interesting. The manual includes wall mounting instructions (template + two screws that fit in matching keyholes on the devices) so I figured that would be a pretty good (read: manufacturer endorsed) way to do it. That said, in my application these things are probably so crazy overkill anyway...

I haven't actually mounted my R650's yet, but I found it interesting that the Ethernet ports are pointed downward when the "RUCKUS" logo is upright. I would have expected the ports to be hidden up against the ceiling, like most other AP's. I presume they should be mounted with the logo...

Good news everyone! So, I decided to order the 95w bt version of the DC->DC injector, and unlike its little brother, it seems to work perfectly in at mode. I shouldn't have had to do this, but at least it works. Looking forward to setting these up now!

Good news is it seems to negotiate 2.5gig connection across that PoE injector :) Bad news is, I can't seem to figure out how to get to the admin login to initiate the Unleashed flash... This is probably my mistake as I didn't read up on it yet. The units came with EU Declaration of...

After manually going through every single PoE injector on Amazon and Newegg I landed on these intended for industrial applications. They are a little pricy, but there is a $20 coupon, and that price is well worth it if they work for my application (DC 24v input -> 802.3at PoE output.) I will...

This varied a little bit from card to card. My really old Intel AT2 10gbit E10G41AT2 adapters had full 10gig downstream but almost unusable upstream. This was in a Gen2 x4 slot, which should have been able to produce 16gbit full duplex, for reference. More modern x520 and x710 adapters I've...

This may be historical at this point, but in the past I have experienced that Intel NIC's expect all PCIe lanes to be present, or they often will behave badly. If it is an 8x card, it will want to be in an 8x (electrical) slot, or it will be unhappy. It doesn't matter if it is a dual port NIC...

I find it really disturbing that STH is normalizing the use of these garbage spyware brands popping up like weeds out of China. These things are a HUGE security risk. No one should be using them. It doesn't matter how cheap they are, or how expensive the alternatives are. Of the switches in...

Can't say I would put any Chinese/noname branded switch on my network. If something isn't designed in Europe (or Japan, Taiwan or South Korea) I'm probably never going to trust it. Of the switches in the guide, I'd trust: - Mikrotik - Netgear - QNap I might be persuaded to trust the following...

Yep, I understand how DC works. I built a custom DC->DC UPS using one of those Mini-BOX DC-DC Open UPS boards, an ammmo box, and a 12v 10AH battery, and the uptime is insane compared to commercially available UPS:es! (~11.5 hours from a single 12v 10AH battery) It should be able to supply...
