I use quite a lot of ubiquiti equipment and while their old APs were junk the new versions have been great. Of the three new APs I would get the long range model. Very few clients have 3 antennas so you generally won't see an improvement by going with the pro and the LR version is just a bit more than the lite. I had an office with 6 of the older models (I told you they were junk) and replaced them with a single LR and ended up with better coverage and speed in the same very large building. I would also look into their cloudkey hardware, it's cheap and an easy way to manage any unifi equipment you have including the 16 port 10gb switch.
I run all my unifi sites on an aws instance and that works a whole lot better. I run lites, pros and 1 old one at home and they are fine, a lite would probably suffice.
Beta software for sure but no one knows with 100% certainty if it's beta hardware or not. They have had a nearly identical model on sale for a while so my guess is the only thing that has changed is the chassis and the innards are the same as the switch they are currently selling. In other words I don't think you have to worry, just flash the latest firmware when it comes out and it should act the same as a non beta switch (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Just a quick note to let everyone outside the US know that my order was accepted, and the unit has already been shipped. In other words: "US only" does not exclude the use of freight forwarding services
I had my issue resolved of seeing $599, now shows $299. Yet I have no issue at checkout for the price..i think so too, but maybe say offer me the "regular" price of $299
Well this sucks, I ordered Monday night and my account says the order is on hold... No idea what that means so I emailed them. My card has been charged so I hope they ship!
