We use RB951G-2HnD. Yes it costs a few bucks more, but it’s worth it to stock one router, and it has been very reliable. If we were going through boatloads of them, I guess we might look at stocking more models to save a few bucks.
For businesses that need more wired ports, or installations where we think we need external antennas, we use RB2011UiAS-2HnD-N. We also have a few CRS125 models out there, like as a demarc for multiple tenants. I am debating whether to look at the new Cambium models, mainly to get an 802.11ac product, but integrating the POE and ATA functions would simplify wiring for residential customers. Just not sure it would let us manage the VoIP function the way we like, also not sure I want to give up the outboard POE with surge protection.

For the residential side, not much more than the equivalent of a ubnt air router, at that price point, i think at one point we were paying 29 a piece for 20 packs or something to that effect, i dont know if thats still accurate. on the business customer side it may need to participate in OSPF and MPLS/EOIP, wireless not being required. I would prefer Gigabit Ethernet, SPF not a requirement for the standard drop device. -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
