I need to cover first floor with about 15, 2nd floor 11 folks and warehouse (30,000 sq ft). I read some good things about Ubiquiti. I need a solution that i can manage (setup guest wireless etc.) and is a set it and forget it kinda deal. I just threw 2 Netgear routers out of the 2nd floor window. Big Bonus if they are not too expensive…am I asking too much? (Ipads, Androids, Iphones and laptops with wireless cards)<\/p>\n

I’ve used Cisco (autonomous), and Linksys/ddwrt in the past. I just switched to Ubiquity and so far they’re great. Still can’t believe how cheap they are for the performance / featureset.<\/p>\n I bought from Baltic Networks in Chicago, because they were the closest reseller. Quick shipping, no problems.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2012-10-08T20:17:23.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/3-aps-needed-ubiquiti/169991/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"johnzimmer4438","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/johnzimmer4438"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":" I need to cover first floor with about 15, 2nd floor 11 folks and warehouse (30,000 sq ft).
