I will second the bumpy ride. While I can not say we specifically had problems in dense areas, I think overall stability of controller/AP/Radio's is still problematic. They have made changes and are trying to fix things, but it is a slow go. Walter Reynolds Principal

We have Meru in our dorms. We had no issues for the first year and a half where we only had a single type of AP. We added wireless to more dorms using another model of AP and now the controller has bounced twice without explanation from Meru TAC. I agree that we are seeing a better effort put

I second Julian's opinion about speed on older devices as I too got stuck with a terribly slow iPhone 3G after the iOS 4 upgrade. I did, however, take the plunge on my 4S and so far speed has been good. I have heard some speed complaints from people with plain iPhone 4 though. Josh Robertson
