Operational notes from the field — UniFi deployments, business Wi-Fi, real-world capacity planning, and why most network problems aren't actually network problems.
"The Wi-Fi is slow" is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Nine times out of ten, the actual problem is upstream — and replacing the access points solves nothing.
When you can't run new cable cheaply, the network ages around it. The fifteen minutes of planning before the build saves five years of retrofit.
Enterprise-grade networking equipment that doesn't bill you per port per year. The honest pros and cons for a small office.
The combo box your ISP gave you is one device pretending to be four. None of the four is good at its job, and the office figures it out by month three.
