I'm now using this plus a homemade firewall/router (running PFSense) to replace the Apple networking kit that was getting so crashy under my workload. I seriously love the Ubiquiti UniFi lineup, and I'm going to be buying more of it to give better WiFi coverage throughout my house and back outside to my writing shack. Part of what I love about it is that I can have separate SSID's (up to four) presented by the same access point, each routing to different VLAN's on my network. So I've got a passwordless guest network routing through Tor on my Raspberry Pi, my own family network, and a different network just for consumer electronics devices that need Internet access but that aren't "trusted" on my home network. This is a rather advanced network configuration for residential use, but this sort of thing is also my livelihood so my home network is overengineered. With that said, I'm really pleased with how well this is working, and how gracefully it handles a full house of guests at parties who all want to get on my guest wifi. 25+ people with their mobile devices on my WiFi, plus all of the gadgets already on my WiFi, and this access point handles it with ease. My old Apple Airport Extreme would fall over under much smaller loads.
I also love the management software. It shows me who's connecting to my network, through which access point, and which SSID, and how much load they are putting on my network. It's really quite professional. I can't recommend this highly enough.
