Sigh so expensive. At this point it's not worth investing anymore in Netgear, till they settle down their firmwares.
While multiple SSIDs sound good on paper, it can be done at a fraction of that cost, and with far more stable equipment. This seperation of bands can be done right now on Unifi, right down to whatever no of vlans+ no of SSIDs i want. I am using a bewildering mix of old 2.4 GHz APs, new wifi 6 ones with extended range, lesser range APs, flex hds for other parts of the house, switches etc all running in unision.
Mind you Unifi does also have bad firmware updates, but they allow you to firmly downgrade. I found the most stable ones, stuck them in and am now rock stable on my equipment. As time goes on, i will update the old 2.4 ghz ones to 6 ghz ones and finally 6E. I got 5 vlans running, 5 different SSIDs, switches etc without any issue and a centralized console to manage them without fuss. The only thing i did was to buy two wifi 6 LR's from ebay for a song, since someone else was moving to Meraki and was having a distress.
FURRYe38Thanks for all the help. I tried to keep these working, but they again started randomly rebooting. To my amusement i realized they had gotten updated randomly despite me blocking and firmware updates showing that it was not possible to reach the update servers.
Instead i am shelving them for now and well will wait for a few months down the line to see if they have been improved. I live in a country where they have zero resale value, as they are priced out of the reach of most people.
Sounds good. I'll be looking into more on this next week. I'll try my best.
