    Asus RT-AX88U vs UniFi 6 LR

    The general comparison between the brands (not specific models) is that ubiquiti gives better coverage as ubiquiti aims at larger industrial areas. So coverage wise the unifi is going to win all the time. As for feature wise, depending on your needs there are times when the Asus is aimed more...

    Xiaomi AX1800 or AC2350

    Personally no experience with the ax1800 and probably biased towards mikrotik. So I would probably take the mikrotik and run unifi Ap's (like current setup) or add a different mesh setup for wireless. It depends highly on what you plan on doing with the router. If you know your way around...

    Xiaomi AX1800 or AC2350

    I have a ac2 running off a 12v backup with no issues. As for wifi, I dont rely on the mikrotik for it and got different AP's. Plenty of options based on needs and budget.

    That's a huge deposit though. Normally they ask for double the amount of the day rental rate as a deposit. In other words R700 deposit and then your R350 for the day.

    Basically they explained it all about chasing, conduit, connections etc. Not many mentioned the plastering after. Walls have different finishes and your chased spot might stand out when the job is completed. Something to keep in mind is that some places might have too many plugs on a breaker...

    Not necessarily just for markups, but there are times when one guy makes such a mess that it's more of a mission to repair. I would use a screw driver to pry the paint out of the holes in the plug socket. Use a thin long one and get it as deep as possible to make sure you clean it properly.

    The thing is that most guys want to see if it's something they can fix. They get there and find out they cant do it and just dont return. Now I for one tell people I cant promise I can repair it but let me assess the issue first (obviously at no cost). If I get there and find out it's something...

    Yeah I think you posted the progress on here. I think I have told you that I personally just dont have the patience when it comes to carpentry. Steel door frames are not my favourite either. Especially when their hinges start going and they start rusting. People want them restored and I lose my...

    [Wanted] UniFi AP AC LR | 802.11ac Long Range Access Point

    Unfortunately none. Even when they do become available theres such a long waiting list for these that I cant keep track anymore

    That is really neat yes, but when doing wooden skirtings I prefer to have it exactly like in the pic, where it continues into the door frames. Having just the wooden skirting not matching the door frames just seems likes something is missing... well at least to me. I've got tiled skirtings...

    Does a ban on booze help?

    I honestly thought that pro (bottle store) outweighed the con (loss of freedom) for a minute.
