I've found the ubiquiti devices to be somewhat overly complex and generally overkill for all home-networks I've ever used them for. All the graphs and stuff tickles a nerdy nerve somewhere in me, but honestly I can get equally stable networks for less than a quarter of the price, but without all the fancy bells and whistles that I only enjoy four about 2 hours after installing anyway


The ones i have were purchased back when Ubiquiti was trying to gain market share and get their name out there, so it didn't have the more premium price tag it enjoys now. The setup was complex, but I'm a bit masochistic like that, but I also needed device roaming to work properly and, however Ubiquiti achieved it, it has worked really well for me for a long time.

I only just logged in to the controller interface yesterday again after probably six months or so, when I was checking in to see if there were firmware updates. Once it's setup there's very little maintenance, but the initial setup can be intimidating.
