Proposal for Wireless Access Point upgrade

General
#1

Hello all,

Short version: I am proposing a budget of $150 for the purposes of acquiring a new Wireless Access Point for the space.

Long Version: Some of you may have noticed network connection at the space has been cutting in and out occasionally. It is intermittent which makes it difficult to track down but I believe it is being caused by our wireless access point. This AP is old and even if I could fix it it would likely break in some new and fantastic way relatively soon. The plan instead is to purchase us a Ubiquiti AP AC Pro (~$130. The budget has some wiggle room in case I need additional cables, etc.) which gives us WAY better speeds and WAY more stability. I will also be relocating the access point to a better location while I’m at it. The current location/orientation is less than ideal for maximizing signal strength and coverage.

Side note: I wont be at the next meeting when this is actually voted on. So put me down for a yes :slight_smile:

Regards,
Ian B.

I have these WAP’s and love them; make sure that they have the latest firmware otherwise they will disassociate randomly.
