    Yes, this was what I was getting at. It seems multi-AP home setups are becoming more common, and this should extend to other small business, hotels, etc. Even public wifi at international airports is sorely lacking seamless roaming in my experience. Just an overlooked detail to some, but...

    Yea that's what I meant, I guess doing more exact math hat really makes them $67 each.

    Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but from what I can find, Meraki hardware is minimum of $300 per AP while Unifi's are roughly $60 each if you buy the 3-pack. If I were going to spend that money, I'd be considering the $300 Unifi 802.11ac WAPs. If you find something othewise I'd be glad to...

    I'm still undecided so I added a poll to see what you think.

    New Home Wifi Solution

    That's the first I've heard of problems with the Unifi stuff, other than some mixed reviews about their newest 802.11ac AP which costs too much for me anyway. Everything else I've seen says they're rock solid. Who know how that mall is managing them anyway, maybe they have some settings...

    One quick look, and it seems their cheapest AP costs $400. No thanks. The Unifi AP's seem to run about $80.

    New Home Wifi Solution

    Doesn't sound like it "might" work from what I read in the reviews on smallnetbuilder.com and other forums, it seems like it works very well. Although I haven't tried it myself, it seems pretty clear that seamless roaming does work without special client software using Unifi WAPs. From the...

    It sounds like the Unifi solution does this somehow without special software on the client.

    New Home Wifi Solution

    I have 2400 sq feet 1 story, without basement. There is however a bonus room above the garage. No masonry fireplace, all interior walls are drywall. My real decision boils down to if I want seamless roaming with 802.11n, or if I want 802.11ac and have to deal with roaming issues. Right...

    Rather than switch SSIDs I'd prefer to cycle power to wifi if the client is sticking. That way at least there is a chance that it will swap APs on its own before I have to manually swap them. Zero handof roaming seems to cost less than $200 with the Unifi solution; maybe you should check it...

    Yea this is true from what I can tell, and the Unifi WAPs are the best cost effective solution I've found in this category.

    I have tried different SsIds in the past and feel that it is really annoying. Guaranteed to drop a video chat while changing SsIds.

    I may give it a shot with a single AC WAP but my tests with the Wrt600n were mediocre. I am running Ddwrt on it. It is a ranch style house, with bonus room over garage.

    New Home Wifi Solution

    I recently purchased my first home and am planning to run Cat6 throughout. At the same time I'll be setting up my wifi access points at strategic locations to get full coverage over my house and back yard. The house is not enormous at 2400 sq ft, but I don't want to compromise with weak signal...
