It works great for wireless in your office along with having free but limited Wi-Fi for customers there as well. You could also demo different Wi-Fi speeds by having different SSIDs assigned to different bandwidth limits, like "6Mb"," 10Mb", etc. Good for upselling. Each UAP can broadcast up to 4 SSIDs with unique settings and controls.
