[OPLINTECH] AP Recommendations

[Larry Ritchie]

We actually replaced our APs through that e-rate funding and its a lot of work, but it is worth it.

PSA for anyone reading this thread and thinking, "Hmm, I should update my old access points."

Access points are eligible for Category 2 E-rate funding. You do have to be CIPA-compliant, and—I'm not going to lie—there's paperwork, but there's money out there reserved for your library. We've put together a resource page to help. https://oplin.ohio.gov/category2

Hi all,

We are looking to replace our WiFI APs and I'm looking for any recommendations you can provide.
We currently use Aruba Instant APs with airwave to retrieve the statistics. Retrieving the statistics is super clunky and I'm looking for something with more functionality and ease of retrieving statistical data.
In the past we have tried to use Who's On My WiFi for gathering stats, but the software doesn't seem to work with all APs unless we disable client isolation.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
