I haven't yet seen a comparison of the UniFi's vs a Cisco/Aruba/Ruckus/whatever AP with a large number of clients. My hope is that the UniFi is at least comparable, because it's a steal for the money.

It is nice though. I kind of wish it was not so expensive it would be great in the home market, well at least if I was selling and setting them up it would be. Most, if not all, home owners want something that works but they don't have to keep paying for the use of.

Darn nice of 'em to give it to me. On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 11:41 PM, Steven M. Caesare <[email protected]> wrote: Gotcha. I'm using an OpenBSD box for those tasks, and Meraki & Buffalo/DD-WRT devices as AP's. In addition it's a reverse proxy-cache. -sc -----Original Message----- From: Richard Stovall [[email protected]] Received: Friday, 11 Apr 2014, 11:15PM To: [email protected] [[email protected]] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Home router For me it was every single one of those, plus gateway AV, highly configurable packet capture[1], and robust logging/reporting. [1] The free Astaro fw had everything[2] but packet cap, which is occasionally required for troubleshooting. [2] The WiFi AP was most definitely not free. Anyone need a Sophos AP? I've got one I'll sell you cheap. On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 11:06 PM, Steven M.
