I switched from pfsense + Ubiquiti to OpenBSD + Ruckus and couldn't be happier. While the web UIs were cool for a day, with the command line I feel as though I understand exactly what I have setup a bit better. Ruckus UI is also much more friendly than Ubiquiti's - I had to actually install mongo db + VM/dock just to configure my Ubiquiti WAP? Seriously?

I just wish I had completely deleted my Ubiquiti account when I sold my WAP.

What hardware are you using?

What Ruckus gear are you running? Last I looked it was pretty expensive.

eBay. The secondary market for high-end network switches is excellent if you’re a buyer.

Ya I did some research and it's not bad at all. And ruckus is pretty good with their firmware options.

In fact I'm buying two new R710s to replace my very old UAC AP Pros. Was going to get the new AP 6 LR but after UIs current woes (and them dropping support for my APs way too early) I'm done with them.

I ran into issues with firmware on a ZoneDirector 1200 and some R610's that were out of support contract. Totally functional and all, but couldn't bring them current.

Though, After using Ruckus in Corp/Enterprise they've sold me on how capable their APs are, it's real deal high density stuff.
