Review on πŸ”Œ Cisco Business 142ACM Wi-Fi Mesh Extender with 802.11ac, 2x2 Configuration, Wall Outlet Design, Limited Lifetime Protection (CBW142ACM-B-NA), Complements Cisco Business Wireless Access Points by Mike Martz

Unstable devices in wireless access points

When they work, they're amazing. Very fast and the apparent grid is only apparent. They record your device quickly and without interruption when you move. They also have fantastic range. Still, they only wobble from time to time. The longest was 57 days. They will start blinking that according to the Cisco specification they are trying to sync their firmware version but nothing has changed in the firmware. A simple power button will never work when they switch to this mode. The only thing that really works is if you remove it from your network, do a few hard resets and read it, then you should be fine for a few more months. I'm a Cisco loyal guy so I don't keep using them, but I'm very disappointed in this product considering I've had Cisco devices that have been running without a reboot for over five years.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Lots of things
