[lug] wireless router or access point suggestions

[Logan Garbarini]

Hi Steve,

I’d recommend any of Ubiquiti’s products, especially their “Enterprise” offerings. https://www.ubnt.com/enterprise/
Their Unifi APs have all your requirements. They also easily handle well over 50 clients, something I can’t say about other APs. 

The one down side is they need a java controller software to set up which is a pain on Ubuntu (easier on Windows :/), but then it allows you to configure as many APs as you want which is really nice.

If you’re looking for a more traditional AP, I’ve heard good things about EnGenius products, but can’t claim to have used them.

Cheers,
Logan

I'm looking to put a wireless router or wireless access point into a small conference room.  As not to interfere with the CU Boulder wireless setup, I need to have the following available in the device.

- Must use the 5 GHz channel
- Ability to turn off the 2.4GHz channel
- Ability to control the power in terms of how far it reaches.

Any suggestions on makes and models would be appreciated.

Cheers

Steve
