Wow. And here I was just thinking with this week's Netgear security vulnerability, maybe it was time to switch to Ubiquiti.

Guess I'll just wait for the Netgear patch and save my money.

I have two of their products, and must say: when they work, they work awesome! Range is great, monitoring is great - just compliments.

But a firmware upgrade on their access point caused quite a lot of trouble. And with only one access point I seemed to be the lucky one, others had more work fixing it. Some got bricked when trying to revert to the old firmware. Support forum should provide background information if required.

Bottom line: the sales-flyer always looks great but the moment you actually touch the device you start to notice some issues you wished someone told you beforehand...

If you can afford it a Ruckus Wireless solutions has yet to disappoint me. Though the Brocade acquisition leaves a lot of questions on the table for their future.

Same goes for Meraki now that they're Cisco, who has a dendancy to ruin everything they touch.

UBNT for multi AP wifi, MikroTik for everything else.

Countless UBNT deployments. Not a single problem ever. Only wish was they didn't restart after config change.
