The Perfect Wireless Solution for your School
Here’s a quick tip for sending me sales emails: if your email is to tell me how Netgear wireless is “The Perfect Wireless Solution for your School”, then you clearly have no idea about a) wireless, or b) schools.
Stop wasting my time.

Time they woke up and relised that the power is in Meraki and not netgear
I just started testing some Meraki gear last month…..AMAZING! I can’t wait to chunk all my old Cisco gear. I just hope Meraki stays Meraki since they were acquired by Cisco.
Best wireless kit going I recon! replaced 6 Cisco with only 3 for the same coverage!
I’m sure they will stay who they are!
Please don’t tell me that Meraki is really the best out there. I’ve been looking at Meru, Ruckus, Aeorhive, Xirrus, and a few more that I can’t remember. I’ve got one Meraki AP and while it’s never given me any problem, the coverage is horrible!
Almost completely unrelated reply here :)
Our authority is looking at bringing in Wireless, and it’ll likely be Cisco kit – once the papers have been signed and whatever else happens in the background.
One of our High Schools has been selected for a pilot of Wireless and BYOD.
Worryingly, one of the staff selected for the pilot there has been quoted as saying that he’ll be able to drag screens onto the pupil’s phones “like Minority Report”.. I fear someone may need to have a chat to slightly realign his expectations.
In 2011 we installed a Netgear Prosafe wireless solution across campus, with 5 controllers and a lot of APs. In 2012, we ripped it all out and installed Meraki. Best decision ever.
PS Anyone want some Netgear Prosafe controllers? There might be some APs still around, too.
We’re now in the middle of ripping out all of our damn Cisco APs in our 5 campuses and switching to Ruckus units after about 8 months of testing them. I am extremely happy about this.
Warning for all those Meraki lovers: Cisco purchased them a while back, and while their management is nice, I have a strong feeling their radios are going to start sucking in the future.
Interesting that Meraki bought Cisco , because this month Belkin bought Linksys . For the home Retail Market in Australia I have always bought TP Link or Linksys for customers
Well, that pretty much guarantees that the quality of Linksys products is about to go down the pan.
