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. :)

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
For one, there is no provision for quality of service. It is a router
designed to be simple to set up and run. It does that but at the expense of
losing options. If you are familiar with these sorts of devices I should
not have to tell you this. As for reasonable speeds, that depends on what

Just FYI, don't buy an Airport router right now. Apple pulled them from its
retail and online stores yesterday, and with WWDC just a couple weeks away, the
chances are high that this indicates a refresh. The below article also notes
that it could be due to changing regulations, but even
