If you folks are interested, Office R (membership relationship management, www.OfficeRnD.com) is working on integrating Ubiquiti/Unifi for credential management on the network. Office R integrates with SaltoKS, which I also use, so that when a member signs up for a plan they receive access to

Yes, absolutely. Thats why we went with Ubiquiti, plus the lower price point, when we stared. Now that we are profitable, I would like the additional features Meraki offers. With our member and door management system, when a member reserves a conference room the Meraki's will spool up a

Notifications are still in beta, but I was pretty psyched too to see it in there. Yeah, I can identify most member devices from the UniFi controller, typically the Clients screen. The most cryptic devices are Android phones and the Windows machines that get names like DESKTOP-xx. Those I have

I'm a fan of both UniFi and Ruckus. At Office Nomads, we use UniFi and at 312 Main we use Ruckus. One key thing with UniFi is to get the PRO access points and run a controller. You can buy one of theirs, or run it on a machine of your own. 99% of the time when I hear complaints about UniFi

I should pile on as a UniFi fan too. Want a separate guest network with 1 hour free for member meetings with clients, and an option for daypass users to pay online via Stripe to get access? No problem, that's built-in. There's even a phone/tablet app to manage the network, which comes in handy

Unifi has changed my life. I do an even simpler setup in my 2,500 ft2 spread over 4 floors. We have just 3 of the unifi AP pros sprinkled around and they go to a PoE switch (off brand) I got for $50 on amazon. I don't use any of the analytics or dashboard or cloud stuff unless I'm adding

Also a huge fan of Unifi - we used it in our two 24,000 sq ft sites - and use about 15 AP-Pro - so you may not need 3 APs depending on shape of space (Too many can make it worse as they interfere with each other / compete for channels with neighbours) I love it - and often get 300MB on my
