Aerohive APs for the Home Network in 2024?

[agitatotr]

Hi there

What are the current free ways to set up access points at home, other than CLI? As far as I understand, there is no free cloud right now? Want to build MESH with 3xAP550 for homelab.

Thanks

Aerohive (now Extreme Networks) devices are typically designed for enterprise-level deployments, which means they offer robust features, high performance, and scalability. Liteblue For a home network, this might be overkill unless you have very specific needs, such as a large property or a high density of devices.

Hello @agitatotr,

Have you tried registering for an XIQ Connect account but did not find the option to do so?

Hi @Christoph_S 

Actually tried. Got an error "There was an error processing your request."

Should i email Extreme Networks at eciq-registration@extremenetworks.com to fix it?

Cheers,

Andrii

Here's an article on the types of email domains you can and cannot use to register with for your perusal: https://www.microsemi.com/product-directory/15w-802-3af-poe-midspan-injectors/3931-pd-3501g-ac

Won't work if using gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc email domains. You'll need a corp domain name. 

Hope this helps,
