  1. Yes all good. Switches too. They took a little longer but all on prem and working as in cloud.
  2. Yes we're fully on prem now. After only 6 weeks in the cloud....
  3. Let's hope this goes through and is workable!
  4. "In conjunction with those efforts, Cambium Networks is extending support of cnMaestro Cloud through at least October 2026, including support of the entire enterprise product portfolio. Cambium Networks’ objective is to find an acquiror for CN Maestro to ensure long-term access or, alternatively, allow the ability to transition from a cloud environment to an on-premises implementation deployment." tiny bit of good news at least, from the horses mouth.
  5. Has anyone managed to block Geminin? We're not a Google school, but in Chrome Gemini is always there. We use Smoothwall and have AI blocked in there, but the web Gemini always persists.
  6. but for everything that we are buying, we’ll continue to support the cloud-based cnMaestro They haven't bought the enterprise wifi
  7. Salary: NJC14 – 19 (£30,515 - £33,119) Hours: 37 hours per week, full-time (Monday to Friday). Start Date: ASAP We're looking for an IT / AV technician (AV is both classroom and live event) We're an oversubscribed 11-18 CofE Single Academy in Blackburn, Lancashire. The job is usual IT support, but with AV to cover events/concerts etc, as well as classroom AV. Knowledge of Live event sound and lighting is what we'd ideally like, so I can leave happy next Summer and they can then replace me with just IT! Decent equipment, a very knowledgeable long served Network Manager and myself too until next Summer, so plenty of support in the role. We're a 1:1 iPad school, but everything else is standard Microsoft really. REWARDS AND BENEFITS - Salary: NJC14 – 19 (£30,515 - £33,119) - Local Government pension scheme. - Access to Employee Assistance programme offering free confidential support on a range of issues such as work, wellbeing, money, health and legal advice. - Excellent opportunities for continuous professional development and support to develop your career. -Cycle to Work scheme - Free EV Charging (The last chap moved house to Yorkshire! To be fair, I've been here 34 years, and the NM nearly 30, so can't be that bad....) Ask away for any questions or queries. Closing Date: 5th October, 2026 Job Description attached IT-AV-Technician-2026.pdf
  8. I was at our suppliers yesterday, and they are hopeful that one of the major players might buy the enterprise wifi bit. Apparently they've snapped up quite a few Cambium employees immediately anyway. But we're still going on prem for now.
  9. Ok (sorry for spam) but we can't go below 7.1.1.2 as that's the minimum firmware version for the device, whether via cnMaestro or command line.
  10. We've looked and we have our external AP's on the earlier firmware, but still only getting about 4mb through them. Mystery.
  11. Like @synaesthesia, we're on brand new kit that came with a later firmware by default. It's just a borked one, and they're certainly not going to fix it!
  12. Apparently it won't let us. Need to find a way to do it through a GUI(?)
  13. Cloud currently, need to get it stable before moving, and our supplier has said hang fire, as hhave others.
  14. The latest one has issues, and our AP's are running the CPU at 100%. Need to work out how to downgrade now....
