Extreme Networks AP for Home Network

[gnar13]

It appears that back in 2018 before Aerohive acquisition by Extreme Networks, it was at least tolerable for the equipment to be used in home networks (see legacy post @maxtaylor106 ).  Why is this no longer the case?  (I'd like to use an AP310i in router mode, but...)

Thanks

Thanks.  I did see the datasheet, but thought web UI configuration was also possible, which didn't work for my unit using the "zero-config IP."  But AP reference guide for WiNG 7.9.4.0 states AP310 is included, and p41 recommends using Router Mode for single-AP deployment.  So that implied it might work.  (I can use in either mode, but just AP adds an edge router.)

The crux:

• WiNG is required to config AP;
• Portal account is required for software (WiNG, etc.) and firmware updates;
• Portal account requires corporation affiliation (which I do not have);
• Hence the original question...

I wanted more capable hardware that was less subject to CVE and other problems of typical SOHO units. 🤔

the 310i is not a cloud enabled AP.    TTBOMK it will only run in Controller mode or Wing mode. 

see bottom left hand corner of the factsheets.
