Hi Folks,
Until now I was living in a one story home with simple dividing walls out of brick, even in this case, UniFi was not able to cover entire space with one AP (I have tried different models) and I had to place two units into my home which caused havoc with roaming: devices (Mostly iOS phones and tablets) took very long time to switch from one AP to another, my family members where pissed at me for not getting it right and after long troubleshooting / fiddling with UniFI firmwares I gave up and purchased Ruckus R710 APs.
Miraculously, one R710 was able to cover my entire home and all the issues where resolved.
However, soon we are going to move into larger home that is build using massive concrete structure and spans several floors. I am 100% sure that I will now need multiple APs and roaming in order to provide proper coverage. All APs will be connected by Ethernet cables to central Switch.
What are your experience with roaming when using multiple Ruckus APs? Does unleashed firmware works well with multiple APs / Roaming or do I need a controller?
Thanks
