![]() Anyone had experience with the Ubiquity UnifyAP ? This appears to be an old WAP that's 2.4GHz b/g/n ... not spectacular, but it at least has 802.11n that my WRT54G does not have...
Anyone have comments about its management (seems to have *boo* client based binaries), or is it an OpenWRT candidate? Does the Linux client require root (nevermind having to match ubuntu libraries...?) |

![]() Never used this AP, but openwrt is available.
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/ubiquiti/ubiquiti_unifi 18.06.2 is supposed to be released soon later this month?

![]() Was curious about using its stock software stack as-is before having to revert to openwrt.
It appears to already be running Linux, just that its internal software has its own esoteric way of doing things... |

![]() I use unifi AP's for just about all the wireless OFFICE installations I do. Of course, they allow for a huge budget range and use case, but all their hardware is bulletproof. They also have a lot of cool concepts, like in-wall AP's that replace keystone jacks/wall plates.
As for managment, they really are more aimed at the WDS type market. They do have some home targeted models, but most of their stuff is meant for 5+ AP type installs. For a home network the management would probably not offer that much really. I've never tried their home gear though.
