RE: Meraki wireless
I was just going to say lots of schools use Meraki and Ruckus. :) I don't, but I have heard a million times on the lists like this one for Ohio Schools from the IT folks that they love them both. Never heard a complaint. Ruckus does seem to be a little more popular for the reasons Matt mentioned. -Original Message- From: Matthew W.

Re: Meraki wireless
Thanks I'll check out Ruckus, I probably need about 20 AP's so that would be $2k / year for the cloud controller. Thanks for your suggestions.

RE: Meraki wireless
Check out Aerohive, too. We've used them for over a year with success.
