As a side note, the iOS app for the Unifi line works quite well. -----Original Message----- From: Billy Irwin <billy.irwin@outlook.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2020 8:34 AM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Dream Machine was Re: Netgear or Asus Mesh Hi Ryan, I use the unify products fairly well, but the web interface from time to time is a pain. Command line works great. The biggest issue you will have is if the page has dynamic content updating constantly. It will freeze the screen reader and browser.

I've got an Airport Express I'll be looking at replacing later this year, and I want something that's accessible but also going to give me a reasonably secure setup. Thanks.

The Orbi in my view is still the best router out there in terms of configurable features, I am not so happy with the Netgear router interface but it works well enough. I am using Ubiquiti kit now (actually just got a Dream Machine over Christmas), and I would probably look at using their Ubiquiti Unifi gear in mesh mode if I needed to go that route again. There is also the Synology rT2600 which can then act as a mesh basestation, that is a very configurable beast. Not sure if Draytek are going to come out with a mesh system at some point, I have read rumours in various places. I haven't gone near Asus. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Steve Nutt [steve@comproom.co.uk] Sent: 10 February 2020 15:05 To: 'Blind sysadmins list' Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Netgear or Asus Mesh Hi, I never fancied Mesh, they are not that configurable if you are an advanced router user.

After researching and talking to friends I'm thinking either the Asus ZenWiFi or the Netgear Orbi both AC3000 (I don't have anything AX currently) and both Tri-Band, but I'm wanting to hear others recommendations and experiences. If you've tried one or both please let me know your impressions. I am also interested in any of these systems phone apps and how accessible they are if I would need to do setup on them either locally or when I'm out needing to change something. For reference to this question i'm using a windows10 laptop, a win10 surface pro tablet, and an android I think it's 8 phone and an android 9 tablet, so that's what any apps would have to run on. If any of these (or other) mesh systems have native support for an Thanks.
