To add to my other comment: AFAIK Ruckus is not targeting consumers. They sell to managed services providers and probably even then not directly but through a reseller. The MSRP for APs in this sense is much like MSRP for rack servers - it's huge on paper but in reality the price is chipped away by volume discounts, long term agreements and licenses. Retired(yet perfectly capable) APs go through ITAD and end up on ebay/craigslist for much better prices.

I have been running Ruckus I got off ebay for quite a while now. Flashed it into unleashed mode and it has been rock solid. In fact I am typing this comment while being about 100 ft away from the AP.

Buy used off eBay 100%! Don't pay those prices

Even a few year old AP will work great. My R510 is pretty old, but works flawlessly
