Well, good to hear that the Ubiquiti gear was accessible, at any rate. I’m not exactly in love with the idea of a dedicated configuration app, but since Apple do it, I probably shouldn’t complain, even though I do because it’s just plain wrong and dammit this is why we have standards. :) Yes,

By the way, if you want enterprise features like that for non enterprise prices, hell even lower than Apple prices check out Ubiquiti Unifi access points. http://www.ubnt.com they are about $100 or so per unit and support all sorts of protocols including AC, they support captive portal, roaming

Hi, In our tests, albeit not exhaustive nor extremely intricate, it was primarily the commercial AP's like Cisco, that out performed our Extremes. I'll also admit that these tests were two or so years ago, so there may have been others that surpassed the Extreme. As a home network unit, I'd s
