They also have yearly support fees and will shut your equipment off if you 
don’t pay.  They also have the same warranty as Ubiquiti.  They make good 
stuff, just have to decide if it’s worth the value.

Rukus is worth looking at, it is rock solid and we love dealing with it.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] WiFi systems

I do MDUs, hotels, and large residential (5000+ feet) with Unifi.

For MDUs, I set a native/default VLAN on all switch ports with no DHCP/IP and 
no routing.  I then selectively enable ports for devices and tenants.  All 
hardware is on a "device only" management VLAN for the Unifi equipment to talk 
with itself and firewall rules to only allow inter-device communication and 
with the Unifi controller.  Each tenant gets their own VLAN (no inter-VLAN 
routing).  WiFi is an open guest network in the common areas with managed 
DNS/click-through authentication.  Port isolation is enabled on the aggregation 
switches to each cascaded switch, and to each AP to limit broadcast domains.

The hotel setup is similar, with VoIP phones in the mix on dedicated "Guest + 
Tagged VoIP VLANs" for all Ethernet ports and dedicated staff WiFi/VLAN 
networks.  802.1x is coming to these networks soon to provide device 
authentication for the managed/corporate devices.

Firmware updates are tested in the lab, then in a trial network, then scheduled 
for deployment during a maintenance window.  APs are scheduled for upgrade 
first, and then switches get upgraded 30 minutes later.  MDUs happen overnight. 
 Hotels happen during the day, at off-peak hours (like 11AM Wednesday) , while 
staffed, in case there's a guest emergency.

So you brick the entire network at one time? ;)

What is your application?  Apartments?  Or single dwelling homes?

I'm using Ubiquiti Unifi for my SMB/large residential customers.  It's got 
virtually everything I need to manage, though it's not single pane-of-glass 
monitoring for the entire network.

I'm using Cambium cnPilot for my residential customers, managed through 
cnMaestro with my other Cambium gear.  It works nicely.

(I'm far enough down the path with an installed Ubiquiti footprint that I'm 
unwilling to migrate the Unifi to cnPilot, and Cambium is only now coming out 
with switches that can be managed through cnMaestro.)

I'm curious general if anyone is selling WiFi systems.  Not just a
single router, but some kind of integrated package like AmpliFi.  I see
several options on the market, but AmpliFi is supposed to work with
Ubiquiti's UNMS software.  Something centrally managed like that might
be very attractive to me.  I like the idea that when they all need a
firmware update I just click a button and they all get updated.
