Hey,
As some of you know I look after a largish building/venue. It's an 130 year old ex townhall in London. For years our network has been a bit of a mish mash of different APs and home brew systems by the geeks. And sadly as the memory of the last major uber geek fades as does the loo roll based super APs which have been replaced with various Netgear and Draytek routers and access points. Our current system is a Draytek 2830vn+ in the basement, routing to a Dreytek 2800 being used as an AP only along with a few other Netgears 54gs on each floor. So before I go ahead a buy a load of Ubiquiti Unifi AC Pro APs and build a mesh, is there any other APs to consider? Also while I'm at it, can anyone recommend a suitable adsl router or shall I just go with a Ubiquiti too?

On when I say multiple users, it's between 20 on an average day and upto hundreds on event days.

Ubiquiti is good stuff I hear. I've managed some Aerohive systems which seemed to do the job for large offices. No need for a WLC either with Aerohive.
At home I have a WatchGuard T10W but that's more of a firewall with WiFi than a dedicated AP. |

Ubiquiti is my go to supplier for domestic and less demanding commercial setups. If more mission critical than I move up to Rukus.
Dupe....

Cisco with Meraki, if you want to open it up you need some form of liability offload, Meraki with -Twat-book log in gives you that...
Plus Layers etc..... |
