Man this guy never ceases to amaze me...

If anyone does try this out...please post your WIP and final product!!! XD

Hi guys, 1st time posting here, hopefully this is allowed.

I have here: http://imgur.com/a/uFadkru a Ring Doorbell Pro connected to a 24v 40vac transformer that is plugged in an outlet for me to test if it works.

I actually have 3 that was bought from a non-techie friend and he abandoned his Ring Doorbell Pro's and moved to Nest Hello. All the units were sitting in his garage. While we were cleaning he sold them all to me for $150 Canadian dollars.

For some reason I can't get them to power up. Upon further research I learned about the microUSB port on the side of the unit and viola...all the units went into setup mode. I have them all setup via that USB port and everything works. Zones, m

Reposting with lowered price from $200 to $175.

Items: 5x Cisco Meraki AP MR18 (no licenses, no power plugs, firmware untouched, lights up (via PoE injector)), UART USB Plug Price: $175 (for the set + plug / price is negotiable) Transaction: can meet up anywhere within the region

Background Info: Bought for $350 as an experiment to install OpenWRT and disable router AP, life got busy, don't have time to do it anymore (basically I was in over my head with this one). My loss, your gain!

Anyone here know if the KWC area has something like Free Geek Toronto? I've got a few spare hard drives (wiped/DBAN'ed) lying around and other PC peripherals I'm not using anymore. Not worth it selling in the marketplace/Kijiji/etc. TIA

The PURCHASE http://imgur.com/a/AWNv2q0

The STORY I've finally gotten a hold of these bad boys...they usually run around $900+CAD plus taxes via Amazon, and I got them for less than $400CAD including taxes.

My current setup is as follows:

Thomson Cable Modem > Asus RT-N16 (Old Folks' AP) > 2x TrendNet 5port switch > UAP-AC-Lite (My AP)

I'm okay with the setup, it's just that too many wires going everywhere...

I initially bought 5x CISCO Meraki MR18 (local company closed) with the intention to flash OpenWRT but then these bad boys appeared! (Anyone want 5x MR18 for cheap? LOL)

The QUESTION

I'm looking for an affordable solution (under $100CAD) to power these bad boys up!

So should we? Discussion below, strawpoll on link.

Hi guys, we're excited to be moving to Kitchener this Feb 14 and we recently closed on buying a Townhouse/Condo. We're looking for a decently priced CableTV/Phone combo, unfortunately I'm with TekSavvy for the past 10 years and their service is available (they've been very good to me in the past so I can't just ditch them :/ )at the condo and I have a grandfathered plan which they don't offer anymore so I'm just looking for a TV/Phone package.

Any suggestions on who to go with?
