We currently use a Netgear R6250 but users are complaining of occasional disconnects. I'm thinking of purchasing a Ruckus 7982 and placing in center of office, and still keep out legacy AP around with the same ssid, but different channel. Is this a reasonable setup? <BR /> Thanks! <BR /> Ed Mon, 10 Nov 2014 03:06:23 GMT https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Wireless-Questions-and-Best/Is-the-Ruckus-7982-appropriate-for-my-use-case/m-p/11558#M675 edward_chin_691 2014-11-10T03:06:23Z https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Wireless-Questions-and-Best/Is-the-Ruckus-7982-appropriate-for-my-use-case/m-p/11559#M676 The AP is great and I suggest you buy it, however I wouldn't recommend you keep other APs around. Try to replace them all at the same time. <BR /><BR /> But your network will work even if you don't have only Ruckus APs there. <BR /><BR /> Also maybe check out the new Xclaim APs.

The very furthest a person's office to the AP would be about 50 feet - most users will be closer. <BR /> Thanks!

And best not to leave the legacy AP with the same SSID.
