Hi all, Lulu from the Omada team here — back with this week's Wednesday discussion.

Every network has that one building: too far for cable (or the trench quote made you cry), but you still want cameras, an AP, or at least something better than "stand by the window and pray."

We see tons of posts here about APs, switches, and VLANs — but wireless bridges (PtP/PtMP) barely come up. So for this Wednesday's discussion:

How did you get your network across the gap?

• Wireless bridge? Fiber? Direct-burial Ethernet? Mesh? Powerline in desperation? 😅
• What are you connecting, and how far is the link?
• Real-world throughput vs. what the spec sheet promised?
• What do you wish you knew before you set it up? (Alignment headaches, trees that grew into the Fresnel zone, weather, lightning protection — we want the war stories.)

Topology diagrams and photos of questionable mounting jobs are strongly encouraged. Omada gear or not — all setups welcome:D

Hi, Lulu from Omada here 👋

If you had the keyboard for toaday and could tell our PMs to fix, change, improve, add, or build ONE thing you really, really want — what would you choose?

The feature you keep waiting for.
The tiny annoyance that somehow drives you crazy every day.
The thing that makes you go, “Why is this still not a thing?”

Pick your team:

• Controller PMs
• Gateway PMs
• Switch PMs
• Wi-Fi PMs
• Software PMs
• Accessories PMs

Drop your request below — big or small.

And please upvote the ones you desperately want too. I want our PMs to see not only what people are asking for, but which requests make the rest of the community go:

“YES. THIS. PLEASE.”

Bonus points if your comment starts with:

“Omada, it’s 2026. Why do we STILL not have ______?” 😂

I’ll collect the strongest and most-upvoted requests and bring them back to the relevant product teams.
