It doesn't give us a lot of log information for us to troubleshoot. They probably have additional software you need to purchase to get that kind of information. But I think not all companies can afford additional software to see those kinds of details. So if the wireless controller already had, built-in, those types of things for the technician or wireless engineer, it would be more attractive for the end-user."

"ExtremeWireless support isn't very good."
"The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly."
"Technical support is an area that needs to be improved."
