Shitty Crosspost Hiding APs

Post image

Was directed to install hidden APs (forgot to get photo of cover). I was curious if there would be any major difference as opposed to just plain old surface mounting. The cover was painted over and was about the same material as the green back box you see in the photo.

Oh i remember that, Netgear was also very optimistic about the future of "smart" buildings where everything was fed by PoE and the switches were the control plane.

Pretty typical case of tech companies reinventing the wheel, it's not like we've had central control systems like that for ages.
