Hello, thank you for this very interesting topic. After reading you I am convinced that Ubiquiti is a great system and I think seriously to try it. However, I have two questions for Ubiquiti users. Does it handle captive portal ? If not how do you manage the guest wifi ? Best regards. Le

Hey Jon: Thanks. Hopefully you will visit us someday :) Your blog post was informative and will purchase Unify for our space. Do you or anyone here know if we can mix match UAP-AC + UAP-LR for our space? Sajid On Monday, December 1, 2014 6:52:01 PM UTC-5, @jot wrote: Thank you Sajid!

I think I'm going to go with getting a new router and then switching over to Unify because of the sold reviews and set up. I've mapped out where people work. I would love to move over paying for one internet connection and I think this will make it possible. -- Visit this forum on the web at

Thank you Sajid! Sadly I'm suffering a DNS outage along with thousands of other sites this evening. It should be back up in 30 minutes or so. PS It was great hearing about Hubdhaka last week at Coworking Europe. Love the work you're doing there! On 1 December 2014 at 21:15, Sajid Islam

Craig, Unifi APs should work with any router. I don't know anything about Asus in particular. At the very least you'll want to disable any WiFi currently provided onboard the Asus router. On 2 December 2014 at 00:04, Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking baut...@gmail.com wrote: Can I

Doing a little more research on these Unifi APs and found another HUGE selling point: they support Power Over Ethernet (PoE). This was one of the biggest selling points of the Ruckus APs for me, because it meant we didn’t need to ALSO run power to the ideal location; we just needed to run

I run a few different networks for coworking spaces, the Unifi system, if you don't know much about networks is a GREAT option for what your trying to do. They have an easy setup, and can all be done from one computer, once the devices are deployed. It sounds like you would need at least 2 WAP

I am ready to make the dive off the deep end and go high grade with the routers that Alex is talking about. I don't need to fine tune control but I want it to be reliable for 100 devices. We often will have 30 people using the space at once and with tablets and cell phones that number spikes
