  1. Is it fair to assume your location from your profile flag?
  2. You would only possibly experience an issue if it's 'grey'. HP are starting to push back against products bought from non UK authorised resellers.
  3. Could be a sticky client scenario. Check which AP it's associating with via the controller. Which Wifi is it?
  4. Whilst they are more expensive, Patchsee cables can be a godsend, even if they're only employed for critical links.
  5. Interestingly nobody has mentioned Ruckus or Fortinet. Vendor supported bids through a decent reseller should put them all in the same ball-park. 802.11ax isn't ratified yet even though many vendors have '802.11ax compliant' kit.
  6. This statement is from HP's website on Lifetime warranty products. Bear in mind that the 1920 1nd 1920 went EOS 2017. "Limited lifetime warranty (where applicable) extends only for as long as the original end user owns the product and is limited to five (5) years from the end of sale date." Hope this helps.
  7. Hi Ian, here's a quote from the Cloudpath datasheet which answers your question about social media onboarding. Hope this helps. Nick SELF-SERVICE ONBOARDING AND DEVICE ENABLEMENT Easy self-service onboarding ensures that users gain network access quickly and securely—without help desk involvement. Optional pre-boarding lets users set their devices up for secure access before arriving at a given location Device provisioning capability can prompt users to install specific software during onboarding Customizable onboarding portal for guest access—including optional social login with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and other popular identity providers Guest credentials via email, SMS,or printed voucher
  8. You can hire an OTDM by the day from some places.
  9. Have you considered a dedicated unit from someone like Fortinet? https://www.fortinet.com/products/ddos/fortiddos.html
  10. Brocade (Now Ruckus) ICX 7150 is a great switch at great value.
  11. As a very early poster said, I’m surprised you ripped out the HP kit with its lifetime warranty. However, to all prospective buyers of the secondhand kit, HP’s limited lifetime warranty is only valid to the original purchaser as far as I know. Read the small print carefully. 1. Limited lifetime (for products purchased after December 1, 2014 the warranty extends only for as long as the original bona fide end user continues to own or use the product) 2. Limited lifetime (for products purchased after December 1, 2015 the warranty extends only for as long as the original bona fide end user continues to own or use the product, limited to five (5) years from the end of sale date.) 3. Limited lifetime (for products purchased after November 1, 2016 the warranty extends only for as long as the original bona fide end user continues to own or use the product, limited to five (5) years from the end of sale date.)
  12. You will know what you want reagrding coverage and density. You may want a physical controller or a VM based one. You might need cabling to AP positions. You might not know where the AP positions are so you might want a pre-site survey. You will want vendor support for 1,3, or 5 years. You will probably already know whether you need 2x2,3x3, 4x4 etc. You should really have a discussion with a VAR or even a pre-sales visit
  13. Not through a VAR worth his salt! e.g.R510 less than £300
  14. Do you have a reason for moving away from Meru? BTW Kieron, it’s ‘their’.
  15. Personally, I'd stick with the 832 for now as it's a proven model. Yes the UAPs are more current but early adoption sometimes has its costs.
  16. If you are within 90 days of purchase or have taken the support bundle, I would suggest calling the TAC line. Failing that your reseller’s engineering team might help. I will ask our engineering team today. Have you checked your single mode modules for errors?
  17. Lots of inaccuracies here. The Fortinet AP832 operates both radios with only 802.11af Poe. 802.11n clients operate faster on the newer wireless because they are afforded more time by the faster clients being served more quickly.
  18. Best advice would be to contact a reseller and get it back into support, you can then access the Fortinet portal to get the 8 releases. Then You won’t need AP licences

    UPS Advice

    It depends on the l you're looking at but essentially yes, they have the same interoperability as other vendors. Can I ask who at Riello you got the quote from?

    Have you looked at Riello? Ups Power supplies, uninterrupted power supply | Ups power supply by Riello UPS
  21. Are you going through a genuine HP partner for these prices because today's standard discount price is somewhere in between the two you mention here. It's certainly nowhere near £2000.
  22. If you are serious about high density users and high data rates you can only achieve the high QAM rates with an AP in the same room as client...and around 3m away at most..and that is with full power. The problem arises is when you have a large block of classrooms and want to reuse those channels. This is almost impossible with 2.4ghz, but might be possible with 5ghz, especially if you stay away from the wide channels introduced in “ac” wireless. Sometimes you can leave a room without an AP if it’s surrouned by other APs .. and those APs are not going to heavily loaded.. You seem to forget the single channel model. I’m never that enthusiastic about WiFi surveys...which were pretty much essential when you had a thin sprinkling of 2.4ghz APs. ...but today are largely going to tell you that if you want high data rates you won’t get them through a wall with 5ghz. And I’m particularly not keen on surveys done by those selling you their kit...who will make anything and promise everything to fit your budget while selling as much as possible. Most real VALUE added resellers will consider your requirement, business case, budget, and environment before recommending a vendor to suit. This will often result in a lower AP count if done properly. put up with massive cochannel interference and lower data rates...or sacrifice coverage to get better data rates. The single channel should be considered. getting both range and client density are mutually exclusive in a classroom block. Not true if done correctly.
  23. Throwing more power at a poor wifi deployment is rarely the answer. I would recommend a proper site survey to see where your dead/poor coverage areas are and see if the APs can be redeployed more effectively. Any decent reseller will be able to help for relatively low outlay compared the cost of a new wifi and the whining of poorly supported customers.
