EnGeniusEWS357AP Wireless Local Network Access Point - Wireless Local Network Access Points

la atención fue excelente, siempre pendientes de que el cliente estuviera satisfecho.

I can strongly recommend this for a technical audience. If you know what a spanning tree is, the difference between a router and a switch, and how to configure a static Windows/MacOS/Linux network interface, why an AP might wish to convert multicast to unicast, then this is a product for you. If not, expect a learning curve.I got the EnG 30W PoE injector with this. Simply plug in the laptop (or computer) into the PoE LAN port, the AP into the PoE port, configure the ethernet interface to 192.168.1.10/24 and connect a browser to 192.168.1.1. No internet access needed; fully configurable in isolation. Go through the settings; Basic for LAN setup (you want the AP to use DHCP to get an address for its management interface; it's still a switch however). Switch to Wifi and set up the dual radios, 2GHz and 5GHz. Enable AX. Enable beam steering (yes!) if you want. Enable spanning trees. And of course change the admin password. Hit all the saves and apply buttons. Watch it generate Linux files (it will show you Linux config diffs!) and restart services. Unplug the ethernet from your laptop, plug into LAN and done. Just works. Then go find its DHCP lease on your DHCP server (for the management interface) if you want to access it again. I will probably give it a static address on my 10 net outside the DHCP range.It's an EXCELLENT product for a technical user. Straight to it, no marketing mumbo-jumbo. And for a $130 with the PoE injector added. That's a good price IMO. Assuming it's reliable it'll be one of those infrastructure piece that just works until it's retired because it's technically obsolete rather than fraught with an endless parade of problems (Netgear, looking at you here).They do seem to also offer integration with more IT-friendly management platforms/tools, since obviously if you have 20 APs in a building you can't realistically manage them using a laptop and ethernet cable. But for us techies, ethernet and a browser is just right.It can sit on a surface like a shelf when used with a tablet stand. I attached an image where it's on an Amazon Basics tablet holder (the Amazon part is B006ZT4VA0; go to any product listing and paste it into the URL in lieu of the one you're looking at).

POE so I can run one wire to the center of the house. Great options for SSID control.

It was easy to set up. The firmware could be better with clearer options. The signal and speed are both good on a 500 Mbps internet service.

Switching my home from a mesh system to several access ports has made the Wi-Fi connection blazing faster in my house. Engenius access ports are often used in businesses, poor work great in homes as well. You may need a little bit of help with the AP’s settings.
