Just curious, were you using WPA2 or were the networks open?
Thanks,
Mike

Did you figure out why it was dropping out? All of it dropping out? Just =
some APs dropping? Just some users dropping?

I had a bad experience with it one time at a tradeshow environment. 6 =
access 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 intervals as soon as about 300 users were online. It wasn't my =
idea to use UBNT but it definitely turned me off of their product after =
digging into their gear...
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?
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
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 Ruckus or with a similar vendor. My experience with =
ubiquity for this type of requirement was not that good.
Thank you and have a great day
