So I've read the thread several times and I'm ready to drink the MikroTik Kool-Aid  I've got an organization that cannot afford a wireless solution that utilizes a Wireless LAN Controller. I want to outfit their three story building with about 12 access points that can handle meshing. I understand MikroTik can do all this and more as well as not break the bank. So what would I need to build out these 12 AP'S? I was looking on r0c-n0c and this is what I've come up with: - Indoor Router Box - Routerboard with a MiniPCI slot - MiniPCI Radio - PoE Adapter - Antennas - RouterOS license Or is it just easier in the long run to setup Ubiquity Nanostations to provide the same functionality and not have to build out each MikroTik box??

How necessary is mesh capability, or can you get an ethernet drop to each AP? After I thought about it, we could get ethernet drops to our AP's relatively easy so I guess the mesh networking is not that important. I just wanted to make sure I made the right call before spending the meager budget on a sub-par wireless system. Thanks goons!
