Review on EnGenius EWS5912FP 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Layer 2 Managed Ethernet Switch With 130W Budget, 2 SFP & 2 Uplink Ports (802.3At/Af), Up To 30W Per Port, Remote Monitoring by Kevin Ilango

The switch seems to work OK, still working on vlans. The AP controller, however, is a real problem and there are compatibility issues between different versions of the controller and access points. At the moment, my Engenius 1300 access point won't show in the list of access points, but shows in the maintenance and troubleshooting section. And this controller has "taken over", so I can't manage the AP directly through it's interface.We're up to about 5 times where I've had to restore either one or the other to factory configuration. And about 2 days.Documentation is useless and a couple of versions behind the firmware.Configuring Linux is easier.Update:After discovering the hard way that the interface is not compatible with Firefox or private browsing in other browsers, AND discovering that the "2 part" firmware updates/upgrades are really one-part upgrades for the units I received, AND dealing with the poor documentation, I have this and an EAP1300 up and running with VLANs working (another brand of NGFW).Oh, and EzMaster won't install or run on 32 bit windows (I'm repurposing an old computer for network management. But you don't learn that until after you certify that you meet the specs (of which 64 bit is NOT mentioned) and download the file.I have updated my overall rating to 3, because it works and was finally able to configure it. But no higher because I lost a lot of time making this work, only to discover that it doesn't support some browsers. The products work, but the documentation is no where near where it should be.
