Hey folks!
Long time, no update. I have since left the company that I built the infrastructure for shown previously in this thread. It was a hard decision, but in the end it was time for me to move on to my next challenge.
One of my last large projects was building this system.
It's a 10...
I've pulled more Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6/6a then I care to remember. I've tested every drop across multiple brands of cables (Honeywell, Beldin, even Monoprice) over the past several years and passed 1Gb's for every drop. Do you know what brand of cable the installer used? Every decent installer...
Thanks for the continued support. I won't rant about the company I work for, but let me put it this way- some less then popular decisions have been made recently by the upper management and no one is happy- including myself. Things are rocky in the contract world and we sadly laid several people...
I have a almost brand new Crucial M4 512gb SSD (Model: M4512M4SSD2) out of my Macbook Pro up forsale. Has 10 hours of use per Crystal Disk Mark.

Wow. This is terrible. I have a half dozen people I still provide support for who have a hard time even understanding what this lets me do and there is no way they could afford their own accounts. Looks like it's time to research alternates.
I ended up with one of the T110 II's for $249 a few weeks back, but now I am wishing I had waited and bought this:

Lenovo TS140 with USB3 and a E3-1225v3 for $49 more.
I'm cleaning out my tech closet and parting out a cloud server I built last year.
CPU's:
(2) Xeon x5650 2.66/12m/6 core- CPU only. $185 each or $350 per pair.
(1) Xeon x3470 2.9/8m/4 core -$140
RAM:
Gone!
SSD:
Gone!
Networking:
(2) Intel Pro 1000PT with low profile brackets- bare $35 each...
If you search, I had exactly that problem. I ended up moving to the AC units and it fixed it. I spent months on and off with tech support with no resolution outside of "just RMA it". Outside of the power issues, the AC units have been solid since install.
Nope. As it turned out, it just would not power on if you used the following sequence:
Plug in LAN to POE Injector and plug POE in to AP.
It will only boot if you plug in the POE first and leave the LAN disconnected until the AP boots. We tested this with two others. No idea why it does this. I...
About two weeks.
Just a heads up- as I discovered today- ALWAYS READ THE MANUAL.
The new AC line requires POE+ @22watts. My older 2520 HP switches did not have enough power to run the AP's. I did have one fail, and it may have been due to under-powering it- I have no idea. My options are spend...
My first AC just died. It will only randomly power on. It was running incredibly hot too. I'm going to contact support, but I bet I will get the old "Well, let's RMA it" response.
Hey folks- cleaning out the spare parts again. I have (10) 500gb 2.5" 7200rpm SATAII/III hard drives. These were new pulls from system upgrades.
(5) HGST HTS725050A7E630 SATA III 6gbps $50 (http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Travelstar-2-5-Inch-Internal-HTS725050A7E630/dp/B008021JHI)

Seem's there is a rather lack of updates on my behalf, sorry about that. With our second restructure, things have really quieted down and frankly I am not sure what's going to happen. While things have settled, I'm having a hard time keeping my tech busy. Not trying to rant, but it's the...
Thanks for all the suggestions.
The day I posted this, my 802.11AC AP showed up. We put it into service that next week and I'll be damned if it did not fix our problem. I believe it's solely because of the channel change (and possibly because we lost the two adjacent renters.)
I'm taking a...
After several months of troubleshooting, RMA's, and different products- I am tossing in my hat. There seems to be no solution to the bug we are encountering. The Unifi line has issues with areas of dense radio noise and the current gen Macbook Air/iPad/RMBP. I need to buy 4 new AP's. We have 50...
