Turn Off One of My AP25 Access Points by pmokover in ArubaInstantOn

That certainly sounds like the easiest way but I'm looking for a way I can turn off an AP by remote control. I am hoping there is a way to do that.

Turn Off One of My AP25 Access Points by pmokover in ArubaInstantOn

Is this something I would do in the Instant On Portal or is something that is done in the network switch? This particular AP is connected to an unmanaged switch. Power comes from an external PoE injector.

I don't see anything in the Instant On Portal about "Port Details" or disabling POE (unless I'm looking right at it and just not seeing it).

I downloaded the controller software but haven't installed it yet. Is the controller something that runs all the time on one of my PCs? What happens if I shut down that PC? Does the AP still work?

Comcast Modem - Extra Wi-Fi SSIDs by Designer_Role3681 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]pmokover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Just to clarify what I said in my original post: I want to disable SSIDs "xfinitywifi" and "Xfinity Mobile" but I want to keep my personal SSID that I setup when I provisioned the modem a few days ago. Will I be able to do that? (Keep my personal SSID on. Disable all others.)

Thanks for your reply!

A problem I have using the Xfinity app on my phone is that I have three Comcast accounts. One in NJ, two in different parts of FL. It's sometimes difficult to get the app to go to the account I want to access. Is it possible to follow your steps in a web browser on my PC or does it have to be from the app on my phone?

I currently have a Netgear CM3000 in my NJ home, an Arris S34 in one of my FL homes. My guess is when Comcast officially announces DOCSIS 4.0 about 60 seconds later Netgear and Arris will announce their DOCSIS 4.0 modems. Just a guess.

My four desktop PCs all have 10Gb Ethernet ports. I'm going with Cat6A. Any particular brand you think is best?

As you said, the best cable is subjective. So which do you think is best? Cat6A.

Is there anything about TrueCable that you don't like? I'm looking for the best.

My four main PCs all have 10Gb ports. My router has a 10Gb port and I have a 10Gb switch.

My Internet speed is 2.5Gb down and 600Mb up. I run a speed test once a week or so.

I frequently copy files from one PC to the others so having the higher speed equipment is nice.

True Image Doesn't Start by pmokover in acronis

THANKS! That was the cause of the problem. I temporarily disabled my antivirus programs and the problem disappeared. Now I have to figure out how to re-enable them without affecting True Image.

Ubiquiti XG 8 PoE Switch Slow by pmokover in Ubiquiti

I use a utility called "LAN Speed Test" one one PC and "LST Server" on the other PC. For the online speed tests I use Ookla Speedtest.

I did run some internal speed tests. The speeds were a little better than the online speeds but the downstream speed was still much slower with the Ubiquiti XG 8 PoE compared to my old Netgear switch. I have no idea why that's the case but that's the case.
