So do you run with every single widget on, screen at full brightness and every peripheral turned on?

I have an EVO and I get, under normal usage, 12 hours easy. If I go light on the browsing I can push that to 14 hours. My record is just over 24 hours on a single charge and that was with lite to normal usage.

while all possible that means I need to A) have all the MAC addresses I want to allow B) have access points that support RADIUS auth, and C) have managed switches. I've got C) covered but need an easy way to manage multiple SSID's in multiple geographical locations on premise. Once I have that in place I'll use RADIUS for the corporate folks and setup a captive portal on the guest VLAN for throttling and what not.

Submission + - Alternatives Wireless LAN Controllers 2

gollito writes: I do work for a large non-profit organization (summer camp) and they are looking for a way to control access to their wireless network. Camp staff all have laptops and need to be able to hop on the network to access the registration software from most anywhere on camp but they would also like to offer guest wireless in certain locations as well. Up until about 6 months ago they ran their wireless wide open so this summer we enable WPA2 on all the access points but that is easily defeated when staff members hand out the WPA key to pretty much anybody that asks (at our behest). I've priced out Cicso and HP WLC products and they both come in at around $15-20k for what we need. My question is: are there any cheap/free wireless lan controllers and if so, what are good, quality access points to run with it?

Comment Re:I like PF, try PFSense (Score 1) 414

pfsense is legit. I've got it deployed a few places and it is great. the load balancer just works, VPN works great, creating rules on it are really similar to creating rules on a pix/asa. Throw untangle behind it and you've got a great 1-2 defense layer for your network. I've even got this running in a virtual environment (which you'll either need a bunch of NIC's or managed switches and VLAN's for). Free HA firewall anyone?

Who modded this "insightful"? Are you kidding me? I like Linux as as much as the next guy but for a business application Microsoft Server it can't be beat for ease of management. Sure Linux may run longer without updates, have fewer security holes, etc but MS hands down has the market cornered on easy to use.
