Review on Cisco Business 240AC Wi-Fi Access Point - Powerful 802.11ac, 4x4, 📶 2 GbE Ports: Ceiling Mount, 5 Pack Bundle, Limited Lifetime Protection (5-CBW240AC-B) by Adam Townsend

My review will be easier for 240AC devices as I am not an expert in networks and Wi-Fi. I have 5 of these devices for my home wifi and home. is about 8000 sf, indoors and outdoors. I can cover the entire property, including the ability to "move seamlessly" inside and out. And I find my house configuration very complex/confusing. I have a few areas outside where roaming is disabled for about 1 second (testing via a Facetime or MS Teams call), but that's not the AP's fault. As long as the access points are positioned correctly, with good overlap, seamless roaming will be error-free. The range is also very good. I've had it for a few months now and so far it's been rock solid. The speed depends on your location and how far away you are and all the shit it has to go through to get to you. So if I'm in sight of the access point, I can of course get my full bandwidth, which my ISP plan is: 400 up/20 down. I have really basic networking skills, but setup was still easy enough to just follow the instructions and get you up and running with all the default settings. But it's a business-class hotspot (mostly it is) so there are a lot of features to confuse you, but I wanted to learn, so that part is up to you. But the key to this and any hotspot is actually placement. If you really place them correctly, you don't need to adjust any wifi settings, it works fine with the default/auto settings. The software is built into the device, so no additional hardware or software is required to work with access points. . I haven't used many other hotspots so I can't judge, but I think reloading is a bit slow. But reboots SHOULD NOT be common, so it's not a problem. If you have to reboot frequently, it means that you are constantly making big changes to the system or something is clearly wrong. I love these devices, I can't think of any other branded device with similar features that are far superior to them. It's still AC tech, but I didn't want to pay for AX right now and I'm pretty sure I'll run out of AC tech on those units.
