Windows and Linux. Not sure about Mac. No, it won't run on
Mikrotik.

Anything special about the controller? Windows, MacOS,
Linux? Will the controller run on a Mikrotik?

You need a unifi controller to manage the system. The

controller on the same LAN segment as the AP's and it
will discover them and add them to the network.
You could use your laptop as the "controller" to set
them up and then take it with you when you leave. The
AP's will keep working without being able to reach the
controller.....but don't do that. If you want to change
anything later you'd have to go back with the same
laptop. If you want to associate the AP's with a
different controller you have to default them.
For a super small deployment I just install the
controller software on the customer's PC. Once you get
past a handful of AP's then you include a $300 PC in the
cost estimate.
So the unifi is like a normal ubnt. Product just
program it and leave. It?

installations with them, zero problems. But you
do need a management computer. I have the
XClaim radio too that I tested at my house. The
only problem is no management tool outside your
phone and you have to be onsite. They said they
will have something in a few months for that.
Xirrus is enterprise grade and probably as
expensive as Meraki with all the bells and
whistles. I’d stick to UniFi if it was me for
financial reasons if you simply want to give
away free internet.

I have 2 at home, easy setup. Basic feature set…
problem with reatail locations like restaurants
is that you need control of the users… how much
time they can browse, when the AP will be
available (avoiding night leeches), login
mechanisms, value added marketing for the host
restaurant (like pop ups every x min with
advertisement) Etc… Retail is a different
animal… Meraki even offers visit statistics of
how many passerbys( mac detected but not
registered) , users (loged in) with how long
they stayed, how recurrently the pass or visit
ect! Very extensive reports for the host
restaurant/retail location

We also ordered a few Xclaim AP's and they seem
to be performing really well and at a great
price as well.

The new Xclaim AP's are designed for this type
of environment. Get the Ruckus RF engineering
technology with the coffee shop type price.
Installing one in our new office... will have my
hands on it on Friday. Only need a single AP...
and of course it will be lightly loaded (mostly
for cell phones,etc... computers are hardwired
typically).
Got mine from JR at WAV - good price on those
units too.
