Posted October 24, 2015 What OS is being run on the laptops? Ketchup is better than mustard. GUI is better than Command Line Interface. Dubs are better than subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 25, 2015 Hi, I recently rewired my whole house so I can adress the switch part of your problem. I only found one advantage to smart/managed switches in my use: link aggregation (combining two ethernet cards for theoretically the sum of the ethernet cards) so if you have some sort of NAS or a centralized file storage it could be useful otherwise, no need to get a managed or a smart switch any "dumb" switch will do just fine. As for brands I would recommend TP-Link, D-Link or Netgear (for consumer level hardware) no need to get a metal made one although its a plus if you want to mount it somewhere. EDIT: went to ars technica right after the post and found this: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/review-ubiquiti-unifi-made-me-realize-how-terrible-consumer-wi-fi-gear-is/ Made me smile, it should clear any doubts on the quality of your AP haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
