Cisco, HP, and many other “Enterprise” switches will take a minute or two to start forwarding frames after boot.

Doesn’t really excuse Ubiquiti but that’s what they’re trying for.

Why are you searching for a solution to a problem you don’t have?

Legitimate question: are you ever going to watch those videos again, ever?

I don’t go to concerts as often as I’d like, but when I do I’d far prefer to take in the moment myself vs. trying to capture it on my phone. I’m there for an experience; not a recording.

If that action makes your night better, so be it. I won’t get in your way. I do, however, get annoyed when I’m trying to watch an act and some idiot’s phone is held above their head, blocking my view.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I appreciate the info, but I am not a patient man. :)

Where on earth are you buying HP Mini machines for so cheap? Even the older gen seem to be 5 times as expensive as your estimate.
