stevewm posted:Ubiquiti Unifi... https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac/ I know this is from a while ago, but we just finished our deployment of UAP-LR's a few weeks ago (11 total for a >500k sqft warehouse) and they've been strong and solid. The controller (management) software was easy to spin up and works decently. The AP's themselves run busybox, so you can ssh in if you want, and I ended up doing to do some basic troubleshooting while we were deploying. There are a couple of weird things: - Out of 13 units, we had 2 defective. - 24V PoE. Who does that? And for >85m runs, they get kind of flaky, you may end up needing to get inline 48V->24V voltage regulators from them and just use your powered switch. That fixed the long runs for us. - DNS suffix doesn't stick when you set a static IP address (which is important if you want to keep the default announcement url). This could be a derp on my side, but I couldn't figure it out and had to hard-code the suffix in the static IP settings. - "The community" seems to provide an unnerving amount of support that I would rather see come from the company. Which leads to... NevergirlsOFFICIAL posted:I was looking at ubiquiti but I'm really concerned about the apparent lack of support. I understand that they ~just work~ but if/when there's a problem it's basically email support only, or use their forums lol. I need to pick up a phone when wifi isn't working.

I guess the passive PoE thing makes sense that way then. My understanding of zero-handoff is that it sets AP's to the same channel and sets the broadcast mac address to be the same for all AP's, so that they effectively look the same to client devices. In our case we don't have to worry about interference since it's a warehouse and we don't have office neighbors. I can see why having many devices on the same channel would be a problem for a place with a lot of other businesses nearby though. Anyway, we didn't have a business requirement for seamless roaming, but figured if we can turn it on, then why not do so and save the time it takes to reassociate?
