Just bought the pro version. May as well get the better one and keep a bit of future proof. | |

They where earlier ones though, the latest batch I have of fibre compatible ones have been fine for over 12 months. | |

quote: 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. 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: They're fairly well spec'd against cost, so good for home/SMB, but i'm not sure they'd be the 'go to' for large environments; rather Ruckus etc. [Edited on 14-06-2016 by Dom] | |

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. | |

quote: +1 That is what I did, I just disabled the WiFi on my TalkTalk router but still use it for ADSL connection. 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. | |

I'm personally using the cheaper UAP-AC-LITE model and it covers most if not all of our house. | |

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. | |

DrayTek 2860 is a fantastic router! | |

The draytek routers are a reasonable upgrade | |

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 |
