We got a new Ruckus system last year, 75 aps, absolutely smasshhhing it

What issues have you had with them? Draytek's are my 'go to' for clients and apart from a DNS bug (in the 2920) i haven't had any problems; granted i spec them way over whats needed for the environments and they aren't remotely pushed/stretched. They are expensive though but you can always pick them up relatively cheap from eBay if it's for home use. [Edited on 14-06-2016 by Dom] I have had three of them start running the LAN connection at 10mb rather than 100mb, fixed one with a firmware reflash but the other two had to go back to be repaired, I think another died due to over heating (server room is an oven, employers do not believe it needs aircon despite years of me saying otherwise). They where earlier ones though, the latest batch I have of fibre compatible ones have been fine for over 12 months.

Ubiquiti are solid, only really complaint is their POE spec for some items; Meraki is another option, haven't had a real issue with those (if you're happy to fart around for an hour then they can be bought cheaply, £30/40, from eBay and flashed with Cucumber/OpenWRT). quote: Originally posted by willay there is literally no other AP to go to these days, they are absolutely killing it.

	I had recently given my cisco router a break where it was doing routing/nat/firewall/wireless, now its in bridge mode doing just my ADSL-2-ethernet stuff, got a dedicated firewall and wireless ap (see above) - everything works much better now imo.

Wouldn't spend out on a Draytek for home usage tbh, apart from the cost I have had pretty poor reliability from them over the years, not so bad in work when I have a few spares but I wouldn't want to be sending it back for repair and waiting a week for it to come back.

	Yeah saw yours Steve. That's what made me look into them. I'll have a look at those routers.

	I have the Ubiquiti AP in my house (bungalow), mounted it in the loft and it covers the whole place and garden. Wanted to mount it on the ceiling but couldn't be bothered moving all the crap around the loft and lifting the boards to feed the cable though :lol:

	DrayTek 2860 is a fantastic router!
Steve	posted on 13th Jun 16 at 11:43
	The draytek routers are a reasonable upgrade I have that same AP btw on my ceiling if you check my house thread

	Wanting to ditch my shitty talk talk router and get something a bit more stable. Looking at a ubiquiti access point and mounting it on the landing ceiling for maximum coverage linky Therefore not needing WiFi at the router. It's in a shit position for WiFi anyway. What can you recommend. ADSL 2 btw Thanks
