All good things come to an end
Glad you had an amazing trip full of firsts! The redwoods are quite substantial and amazing!
I swear itās fuckin useless even in America! Iām by no means a regular credit card user, but the amount of stores I go to that still donāt accept AmEx is amazing. Just stopped by a store today with a sign that said āWe proudly accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. We do not accept American Express.ā
Also Pilgrim, I verified that I successfully cloned my xMagic today by unlocking the gate to the property! Thereās three different reader types, all Schlage. One for the gate, one for the building, and one for the units. Ivan only use the xMagic on the gate. It made my night! It also reinforced my previous wish of wanting to save up for a replacement mifare flex, but in a less impact prone area lol
Totally understand, I love my xMagic and wanted it for a long time, I pestered Amal a few times over a few years to make one, and I got one as soon as it was available, I removed my xM1 and xEM to make space for it.
But I actually use my FlexM1 moreā¦purely because itās easier to read with when I am using locks that are not my own (hotel, gym, swimming complex, lockers etc.) and I can easily read and write easily with my phone on the fly.
Donāt get me wrong, I still use my xMagic, and love the dual frequency functionality, and being able to read and write with the flipper is a bonus.
If I HAD to seperate them, I would give my FlexM1 5 stars and my xMagic a strong 4.9 Stars
Iāve been looking for a WiFi solution that uses a controller but doesnāt break the bank. Also, being able to separate wireless clients into different vlans is a required feature.
Iāve looked at Ubiquiti UniFi and EnGenius Fit and the first one of the two is likely more flexible but both seem to be targeted at a less technical audience than me.
For this deployment, Mikrotik might fit the bill at a slightly higher price point and itās what Iām primarily considering.
But Iād still want to hear your opinions about UniFi and Fit as Iāve never used those systems.
The way itās presented it sounds like 500 yearly.

Maybe they havenāt figured out whatās next but that doesnāt fill me with confidence
Iād be okayish with a one time purchase since they include a couple non sterile chips in there.
I swear by my Ruckus R710sā¦ they arenāt wifi 6 but they work awesome, use patented beam forming to connect to clients, and can run āunleashedā controller firmware on one master unit if you want to mesh them. With ubiquiti and others I get client drops and just generally shitty wifi performance but these Ruckus units have been going strong ever since I bought them refurbed on amazon.
This price is insanley goodā¦ I bought mine ārenewedā a few years ago for $450 each!
Yes! Alright Iāve had this and the prog in my cart for a year. Iāve been holding off just because I wanted someone who has direct feedback on it. Is there anything you wish it had or any other features that in the past 7 years you felt you needed
Nope. It has overcurrent protection, locking, and constant current mode. Has done everything Iāve needed. Thereās been a rare few times where I needed more current, but 5.1 amps has been more than enough for 99% of my use (it says 5 but can deliver 5.1).
Yes, I was expecting a significantly more enterprise price for those. Hence why I looked at the cheaper options like UniFi. However, Iāve never used that particular system and fear that it might be too limited.
Iāve had a similar experience with several home routers and similar junk. At least OpenWRT can help somewhat. And this is what I ended up using at my parentās house, mainly because they already had a bunch of TP-Link repeaters that were junk but ended up being good enough with better software.
However, the Mikrotik hAP AC2 that I bought a while back for home lab purposes has been extremely reliable but the plastic became a bit sticky. They were slow to release WiFi 6 products but at least Iām impressed with their AC stuff.
If all goes well, I think that Iām giving the Ruckus a try. Itās incredibly cheap.
yearly.
