The Alta Adventure begins when I get back from WISPAPalooza.
ISPSupplies’ booth is next to Alta’s booth at Palooza, so I ordered from them at the show:
UPS tracking says it gets to me in Ohio the same day I get back. For $299, it seems like a great deal.
I’ll probably edit this post with my initial impressions this weekend. I did get to handle the AP6 Pro and the 8 port switch at the show, and the hardware seems solid.
Edit: Tuesday Oct. 17th. UPS took their sweet time driving the Launch Pack to Ohio. ISP Supplies packed and shipped fast, but the truck between Houston and Columbus OH took 4 days.
Logged into manage.alta.inc and was able to find the 3 devices. They all needed updating, which was a little clunky - it seemed to hang at 100% CPU for a while, but it did finish successfully.
Set up a little wifi network, and associated my Echo Show 15 to the SSID. I’m listening to Garth Brooks on the Echo. Wifi: Working.
Purchase the launch pack(everyone qualifies/one per company) and use it for future installs Excited for our early adopters to get more access points in their hands and into more projects. Don’t forget to post your stories, we love to see them and am so grateful for you guys!
Love the Network Live view. This is better than what Ubiquiti provides. I told Alexa to start playing some music, and I can see the live data flow through the switch and the connected AP6-Pro. Exactly the kind of thing I expect from a Software Defined Network.
I’ve marked up the display with a suggestion.
Also, the ability to show a longer timeline would be nice, for those with wide screen monitors. See that white space? Use it.
Not sure I need the trash can so easily available on this screen. Maybe in a right mouse click context menu?
The Status seems to be stuck at 0 b/s in the Live view. Maybe it should show the average data rate over the time period being displayed (in this case, 60 seconds).
