So I have decided tor review the Plantronics Savi W730-M. The headset is optimized for Lync, which I've used and it works swimmingly. You can have it paired with the PC, deskphone, and cellphone, all at the same time. The headset connection is DECT, giving you range. The compatibility of bluetooth via a deskphone, bluetooth or USB connection, all give you the ability to pair a ton of different devices.

The sound quality is excellent on the device, even at a fair distance away. I have been outside, with the receiver's base in the basement, getting the mail, and on a call, all with no call quality issues. I have been nothing but impressed with this headset. I highly recommend it, with a 5/5 stars or 10/10 review.

Not at all. It's still an N signal, just a higher powered one. It's like what happens if you put higher octane gas in your car. Your car may normally take 87, but if you put 93 in, you'll have more kick and slightly better MPG from the same car.

If your goal is higher powered N, buy a better N AP, not an AC AP.

Yes, but if you can gain the range benefit and also have the AC ready to go when your computers start coming with AC cards, why not?

If I had a baby with Scott. That's what I want.

I'm feeling a bit disturbed right now.

Thanks to this site, I found out my server's MySQL had locked up and the actual server was giving a database connection error for Wordpress. It also showed me that CloudFlare was working correctly!

From the thread, the admins are saying we're unique.

One main advantage of AC over N is that even though you may not gain the speeds of AC, you get a highly extended (as far as range) N network. The difference in range between N and AC is huge! Oh, and Gigabit to the desktops? ABSOLUTELY! Sure, you'll almost never actually utilize full gigabit, but even 200 or 300Mb/sec improves performance SIGNIFICANTLY over just Fast Ethernet.

Nope not true. AC has less range than N and its 256-QAM (more chance of interference)

Not from what I've seen. This was one of the primary reasons I bought an AC router recently was to improve range. It made a HUGE difference.

Again. We've been over it before. That was likely the annetas. Nothing to due with AC. high met frequnices has less range. You can't change physics.

AC might improve range, maybe, but to do so wouldn't it have to exist on both ends? Otherwise your AC system is using N and you are still limited by the N devices.

Absolutely. You'd still be limited to N speeds, but you'd have a greater range physically, which means you can actually use fewer APs to cover the same amount of space. Theoretically.

Sad that they charge extra for that.

Not worth it. The Monday pre-event training is on a product that isn't worth it.

I normally are too ADHD to read stuff like that but wow! Great read!

I've noticed that whenever I click on the newest unread post in the unread section, as I'm going through, if it's on the 21st post, it goes to a blank page. However, if you change that number at the top in the URL from 21 to 20, it goes to the 20th post on page 1, and you can see post 21 right there below it. I don't know why it goes to a blank page. It's as if it thinks you should be on page 2 but you're not supposed to. Not sure if @scottalanmiller should submit a bug report to NodeBB, but that's an ongoing issue I've found.

Thanks,
A.J.

I know AC runs on the 5GHz channel, which you are right in saying has a smaller range than the 2.4GHz channel, but less interference. It could be the antennaes but my understanding was that the 2.4GHz channel on AC routers had a stronger signal than your standard N routers.

How do you manage the various levels of skillsets? Every tech has various skills, specialties, and abilities. How do you work on managing the time best for your L1s vs your engineers? To what degree should management be managing your time, in an ideal and a real world?

ROFL!

Good morning to everyone
I am looking forward to have an awesome day

Good morning Joy!

I know! But I won't say without her permission...

Depends on your needs but typically N. The cost is too much lower and almost no one has a need for AC yet. But those that do, it may be worth it.

At a price differents of $50 per AC AP? Wouldn't it make sense to step on up to the newer tech? Especially if you are planning to lease the equipment for 3 - 5 years?

Agreed. There are already plenty of laptops shipping with AC wifi cards installed in them. It's not the norm YET but given another year or two and it will be.

It was disabled this morning. Has anyone seen the gateway error since the thread was disabled?

I wasn't on much today but I haven't, no.

Thankfully on my alarm clock, I just set the time zone and whether to use DST or not, and it always auto-sets the time as soon as you plug in power. It's about 3 minutes fast, but that's perfect for me actually.
