David, I have heard nothing but good things wrt the UniFi AP hardware, particularly the price point of the new "802.11ac" modules. The Java based controller is the only hassle.
Question, are your UniFi AP AC LITE's mounted on the ceiling or upside-down on a desk ? It would seem desktop locations would not be ideal for these units. Have you been able to successfully require payment from your Kids for WiFi access ? :-) Lonnie On May 29, 2016, at 12:18 PM, David Kerr <da...@kerr.net> wrote: > I have two of the new UniFi AP AC LITE's installed and I really like them -- > I'm considering getting a third to cover a dead spot (I have a large house). > I have the UniFi Controller running in an Ubuntu VM on qemu on AstLinux and > there is a lot of flexibility in configuring a guest network... these are pro > devices so you can set them up to require login and, with the right setup > take payment. > > David > > On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 9:42 AM, Lonnie Abelbeck <li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com> > wrote: > > Is the VLAN-Id documented somewhere, or did you need to figure it out? > > > The Apple Airport VLAN-ID 1003 is not officially documented, but is > hard-coded in the firmware and has never changed since the "Guest Network" > feature was added years ago. > > Too bad Ubiquiti does not offer a desktop UniFi AP with an antenna array like > the Airport Extreme.
