I had a bad experience with it one time at a tradeshow environment. 6 acces=
s points setup for public wifi. The radio levels were quite good in various=
areas of the tradeshow however traffic would keep dropping out at random i=
ntervals as soon as about 300 users were online. It wasn't my idea to use U=
BNT but it definitely turned me off of their product after digging into the=
ir gear...=20
Again as someone pointed out, for residential and perhaps SOHO applications=
it can probably work well - and in my opinion it's priced for that market.=

What problems have you had with UBNT?=20
It's zero hand-off doesn't work on unsecured networks, but that's about the=
extent of the issues I've heard of other than stadium density environments=

Dear nanog community=20
I was wondering if you can recommend or share your experience with APs that=
you can use in locations that have 300-500 users. I friend recommended me =
Ruckus Wireless, it would be great if you can share your experience with Ru=
ckus or with a similar vendor. My experience with ubiquity for this type of=
requirement was not that good.=20
Thank you and have a great day=20
