All this supports a handful of IP cams (on their own VLAN), couple of IoT appliances (on their own VLAN/WLAN), guest wifi, and my main network. 802.1x and VPN.

Wired jacks to every room in the house. Some have more drops (office, living room/ent.ctr), some less (kitchen, utility room).

Just ordered a couple more Mikrotik routers/radios.

I just use the lab at work. Bleeding edge everything. Just now rolling out DNA and 9300/9400 for client closets.

Is dat caox TV or what?
cat5 is for phone I never got around to ordering. It's too expensive and I can't bundle decent speeds with it. I got the unifi router to do load balancing over 2 dsl connections, but they don't even guarantee 12mb-- so I could be paying $90/month for two 7 mb connections.

I'm just putting up with cabletv, $90 for 100 (actually 30)

Oh, I also gave up on the buffalo (pictured) wifi router, and got a unifi AP, which is kick ass. I still use the router as a switch, and I also installed a Linux package management to its dd-wrt core... Not that I installed anything on it.

How's the ubiquiti APs? Which model do you have?

Looks like a good bet for small business that can't afford Cisco.

How do you like the microtik?

[Anonymous No.1468745]

Maybe I'm just a faggot CCDP here that's been doing enterprise networking for over 10 years, but I find the microtik GUI to be the biggest piece of hot fucking garage in the entire world. Do they have a CLI that's good?

Coax is for tv. Pulled it since I was pulling cable anyways. Couple of connections in the attic for OTA antenna(s)/whatever that come down into the rack, then patch/split that to whatever drop. Kinda nice.

Great, been real happy with them. Understand they're not really consumer/homeowner-level devces; they're geared for business/commercial applications that have some infrastructure in place to support that level of equipment. The Cloudkey is a cheap/easy way to get the controller on-site if you don't have a dedicated server.
I've got a pair of AP-AC-LR's. Better ears than the Lites, not as overkill as the Pro/Nano. Don't need the waterproofiness/outdoor-rating of the M's right now.
If you buy them, make sure you get the newer models that have .af/.at PoE. The older ones (pictured) are 24v passive. Look for a blue triangle in the corner that says 802.3af/at.

Support is kind of weird - they don't really have dedicated sales/support team, but the community is active and knowledgable. Forum and discord are good places to go for help with setting that stuff up.

Good value, as long as you keep up with the security patches.

Winbox is doable, but you're right, it doesn't have the pretty UI that Cisco does.
Know what else it doesn't have? The price tag that Cisco does.
Do have commandline into it if you want to go that route. mac-telnet is real nice when something's fucked up.
