Newbie to the fold with a few questions!

Hi all,

Im looking at jumping from the Unifi ship as i find their products extremely frustrating, coverage poor and things are showing disabled when they aren't etc so...

I live in a standard two story house and at present, i have aUnifi AP pro on the landing upstairs, and one in the main living room downstairs. This provides reasonable coverage on the 5ghz band, but regardless of settings etc, most of our devices are roaming like mad, even when they havent moved for a hour or so, and when our iphones sleep, they disconnect and latch on to the mobile network which in turn uses my data allowance.

What Ruckus product would you recommend to replace my existing Ap Pros?

Do i need two of a higher spec?

My current set up is a Ubiquiti Edgerouter poe, am 802.11af 16 port switch (which provides the 48V to the AP's)

many thanks for any help

🙂

Hi guys,

I think i am running in the UNII 2-ext as one of my 5ghz AP's is currently on channel 116.

I think John was saying that these channels were not available on the AP's at the moment but i guess this is the U.S. that don't have them yet?

Reason i am questioning is that once i changed my country in the set up, the extra channels became available?

As you are UK based, you fall under ETSI/Ofcom for channel regulations, and we can use UNII-1, UNII-2 & UNII-2-EXT indoors.

More importantly we can use 1W of  power on the UNII-2-ext channels, which gives you comparable reach, if not better, than 2.4GHz.

Dont worry the Ruckus AP's will not allow you to use anything that you shoudn't be as long as you select the correct region code.
