   UPDATE:   
      
   Decided to send this before PG&E shuts off the power, which is scheduled to   
   go off for a few days in an hour or so (as far as PG&E has explained it).   
   (California has 3rd-world power reliability at the top of 1st-world costs!)   
      
   Given this thread is a public potluck of useful sharing, what I would love   
   is if Jeff and/or Johann could help shed a summary of light on the various   
   "options" that are available to mere homeowners, who have Ubiquiti radios.   
      
   For example, we haven't covered the free mobile device available debuggers:   
      
      
   Where, as far as I know, there's nothing like these tools on iOS (sadly):   
      
   (I wish such modern app functionality existed on iOS, so if anyone out   
   there knows iOS better than I do, please let me know where to get it).   
      
      
   Even on the router software itself, we covered some things that are of   
   general interest to users, but, for example, we didn't mention AirSelect:   
      
      
   And, we didn't dig into details of the versatile use of wireless options:   
   o Station   
   o Access Point   
   o AP-Repeater   
      
      
   Nor did we distinguish between the various network options, for example:   
   o Bridge   
   o Router   
   o SOHO Router   
      
      
   Personally, I don't know them well enough to summarize each option above,   
   but maybe the experts here can write a quick one-line summary for each so   
   that everyone benefits in this purposefully helpful Usenet sharing potluck.   
      
   --   
   Usenet is a wonderful place to share common items of technical interest.
