    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    I “solved” this issue (worked around) the issue upgrading the R750s to R770s by creating a dedicated 5Ghz legacy SSID. My current config is : IoT on 2.4Ghz only & WPA2 Guest network on 5Ghz & WPA2 Legacy 5Ghz for Shields on WPA2 Primary network on 5&6Ghz and WPA3 Wifi7 is a noticeable step up...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    An hour is unusual and excessive. My 4 core, 16GB VM takes ~5-8 minutes to load which is longer than most services, but far short of an hour. When I started using vSZ I recall there was nuance when setting up re network connections for vSZ-e in contrast to vSZ-H to do with control and...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    The specifications advise wall, ceiling, or desk mounting. Theres nothing meaningful if you have appropriate AP density. If your rocking a single AP across a two story home you may be impacted at the fringes of reception.

    SC846 system gifted to me - A full overview with questions. Replacing DVD drive with SSDs? Ideas for upgrades or keep what I got?

    Did you ask the person who gifted you this server if it was working fine before they gave it to you? Supermicro stuff generally just works in my experience unless it’s sone cobbled together eBay Frankenserver or been physically abused.

    SC846 system gifted to me - A full overview with questions. Replacing DVD drive with SSDs? Ideas for upgrades or keep what I got?

    From memory, the slots not tall enough, the mounts are in the wrong place and there’s no power connection. All fixable with various levels of effort. Supermicro site lists compatible chassis and provides some images that will help...

    SC846 system gifted to me - A full overview with questions. Replacing DVD drive with SSDs? Ideas for upgrades or keep what I got?

    The hot-swap dual 2.5” rear drive caddy only works with newer 864B chassis. You would need to pretty heavily mod an ‘A’ chassis to fit.

    Power consumption: Epyc 7303 vs Epyc 75f3?

    Any folks with data to compare power consumption of new low power Epyc Milan 7303 vs 75F3. Trying to work out if it's worth the hassle of downgrading from an over-spec'd CPU.

    Does anyone have Supermicro H12SSL series motherboard experience?

    That was my understanding too. Given the cost of $1k of RAM and the time/energy consumed in testing it, I went with the pro version which was a small bump in overall system cost for peace of mind. Also justified it yo myself because i've used memtest for years and was good feelz to give back. I...

    Does anyone have Supermicro H12SSL series motherboard experience?

    Sorry, forgot to quote for context. @mattlach asked, "Mind sharing what you did wind up using that worked for you?" Micron 7450 NVMe 1TB I recall.

    Does anyone have Supermicro H12SSL series motherboard experience?

    With Supermicro I stick with the recommended hardware to avoid those kinds of issues. I’ve had odd random issues with RAM, SSDs and plug in PCI expanders over the years that have been hard to debug and not been supported by SM.

    Does anyone have Supermicro H12SSL series motherboard experience?

    Nice build. I’m using that cooler on a similar 75F3 in a SC846 and it’s plenty capable. I think there’s value running a memtest to verify all those pins are connected, it took a few days for 512GB to complete a few passes. The premium version tests ECC RAM too.

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    Something I discovered when replacing R750's with R760's is WIFI6E requires the use of WPA3 and several devices I have in active service have no support for WPA3 and are not expected to be upgradable, for example, Nvidia Shields and some Brother printers. The best workaround I've found to date...

    Ruckus Wireless as an Unifi alternative?

    The circumvention of the licensing system? That would be illegal and frowned upon by Ruckus given it’s a current product and more than likely abused outside of just home users. It’s just not the same and extending the life of deprecated hardware. I use vSZ in the home and honestly unleashed has...

    Thanks for confirming, I just upgraded and kicked off a 200TB migration. About 20TB in so far and things seem to be going well.
