Review on 💻 Cisco CBW140AC-B Wi-Fi Access Point, 802.11ac, 2x2, 1 GbE Port, Ceiling Mount, Limited Lifetime Protection by Eric Webb

I've been setting up networks (including my own home) with Ubiquiti hotspots for years. They are very difficult to set up and I doubt I will ever be able to train anyone else to take my place. When one of my customers needed an upgrade, I chose these Cisco 140AC and 240AC APs (240AC for the client and 140AC for me). At first I was impressed by the ease with which they can be set up - you don't need a special controller or even controller software on your PC or phone. Simply use the web interface (according to the instructions) and you're done. Once configured, they just work. I haven't seen any glitches yet. In the farthest corners of my house, the signal is strong, the data transfer speed is fast, and I'm content. One oddity I noticed is that the web interface for configuring these devices can only be accessed over Wi-Fi. It is not accessible over the local network. Most of my computers are connected via LAN, and my portable devices (and TV) are connected via Wi-Fi. This means that if I need to set up a hotspot or even just check its status, I have to disconnect one of my computers from the local network and reconnect it via WiFi. It's a little annoying, but I'm wondering what to do when the Wi-Fi radio goes down. How do I access the device to turn it back on? I suspect the answer is that I need to do a hard reset and reconfigure the device. Maybe time will tell.
