Jack, Yes. They use multi-element / multi-antenna, adaptive beam forming, along with some very nifty smart mesh.
We replaced 10 buffalo's running dd-wrt (for a large sorrority house / about 60 + active College Students) with 3 Ruckus AP's. Our site survey showed that two would cover it , but we decided to put in the 3rd as a 'filler'. Two AP's are wired (as root) and 3rd AP is a Mesh. The buffalo's would choke once every 10-20 days, requiring some TLC... The Rucks AP' have been Setup and forget about them.... If it was not for a power outage we would been seeing about 120 + days straight up time. They also do some neat 'firewalling' within the unit.. We are using a mode that allows the Clients (notebook users) to get IP's from the LAN side of the AP's, and ONLY ACCESS THE INTERNET... They cannot access any IP's on the LAN side of the AP's. This is the "G" stuff.. Their "N" models with the new software are even more impressive..

Do the Ruckus model(s) that you use have antenna diversity built in (like they used to) ?
