ux7 and u7gx, i called up unify and they said theres no heat issue on the u7's w/ updated firmware, just push the new firmware when plugged in. i haven't plugged in the gx yet cuz i need to make a new attic line and i don't have any cat6 cables made yet (whatever happened to including patch cables?)
so you could right now just remote in to the u7pro in your moms house and force an update right? i guess that easy admin is a good selling pt for being the family "tech" to just buy unify and link it all under your account
Yep. That's what I do. I actually connected their network to mine with their SDWAN too. Not it just look like they are different subnets in my LAN. I can set up rules to be able to print on my parents printer and vice versa. I can also remote on their computer without vpn or other fancy stuff. In the future, I'm going to put a nas at their house as my third/forth offsite backup. The networking gear can rack up costs, but it's a one time fee, and the stuff just works.
Beat me to the punch here, but yeah. I have a specific VLAN for our printing lab that we share with our friend who uses it with us (and has most of his set up at) so he can send and monitor jobs. We also have home brew apps for some of my homebrew board and TTRPG games running on our NAS that runs on its own isolated VLAN so the players can use the character creation tools while elsewhere or that we can reach via our travel router. And aside from wiring the property (which is also a one time expense), I maybe spent around two grand total on all this shit for our current place.
I didn't hear about this. Can you please elaborate?
Yeah, I got their travel router recently. I don't know if they make in batches of 10 or something, but the sold out within hours of release.
yea i figure w/ like real world tech limitations, the u7 stuff can be future proof until like 2040
For the travel router, yeah I had to check constantly. People were scalping them for like 4-5x the retail cost, too.
Yeah, I know what you mean about scalpers. You have to just buy their stuff if you see it available. I remember checking every day for the g6 entry pro. I managed to get it on launch day. It sold out 5 minutes after I bought it in the states. Furthermore, it's it's almost there they add a massive premium when selling it here.
yea, my recent update is i got the xg cuz i did see the lite didn't have 6ghz
Yeah, the pro is sweet. I gave it to my parents. I haven't been super happy with the XG. It's not as stable as the pro, and the range seems much worse. With the pro I used to be able to leave my building and walk like 10 meters before my wifi dropped. With the XG, my wifi drops the moment I leave my building. I don't know if it's the new shape or crappier components.
Thanks for this. It confirms my experience. I was thinking of getting XGS, but I couldn't justify the price and the poe++ requirement. The price jump from poe+ to poe++ hardware is real.
