#Netgear airbridge review code
Scanning the QR code when mounted is impossible. They were positioned in the same places as the EnGenius links, with aiming and line of sight, and would not reliably hold signal as the EnGenius links had. I began to configure them in standalone mode, but it was clear that Netgear pushes their Insight cloud management, so I shifted to using that to set up and configure.įor 7 hours, I was able to get a connection that was up and down, unreliable, and not, as people with posh accents might say, ‘fit for purpose.’
Initially, I tried replacing the EnGenius link from the post to the new pavilion with Netgear WBC502 Air Bridges. Fine, it’s asking a lot to relay with that many point to point links. By bouncing signal from a main building with ISP service to a trailer, from the trailer to the post, and the post to the new pavilion, I was getting about 40Mbps down on a connection that delivered 100Mbps in the main building. I would have preferred to bury fiber, coax, or cat6 between buildings, but that wasn’t an option. This was a shoestring budget operation, so I donated equipment where I could, including some Wi-Fi access points for guest clients and some EnGenius access points for carrying signal from a post with IP cameras to a newly constructed sports pavilion. The goals were simple: get Wi-Fi to the employees, and client isolation to the guests, with network across disparate buildings to carry the signal from IP cameras back to an NVR, and support IP phones.

There’s a post on Reddit, an AMA with Doug C. Netgear wants you to put enterprise products in your home I searched Netgear’s support forums for this product and found many other people unhappy with it. Netgear, what happened? You used to be cool.
Setting it up as an access point (in order to let another device on the LAN handle DHCP, DNS and routing) failed, the RAX120 as Access Point refused to pass DHCP requests, so clients didn’t get IP addresses.It works very fast initially under default configuration, but then gets much slower over the first 24 hours of use.It lacks some features we’ve come to expect: when editing the IP range handed out to clients over DHCP, it is no longer possible to specify what DNS server will be used by clients on the LAN.You buy a modern, very expensive router, and a few things happen:
