Xclaim Wireless Xi-2 Dual-Band Indoor 2x2 802.11n Access Point Reviewed

[UAP]

Quite a bit of Buzz on it right now in terms of marketing jazz

The Ubiquiti UAP line (UAP Pro, UAP, and UAP-LR) is rock solid and very reliable. For the price, the feature set, and the reliability I have yet to see any other product compete. The Ruckus line is intriguing, so I will keep my eye on it. However, I just don't see it competing with the stuff that Ubiquiti is putting out. Need to get my hands on some of these to put through some testing. Ruckus has made a name for itself as a solid manufacturer, so we will see if they can compete against the Ubiquiti line. I am not holding my breath on this one, but we shall see.

Here's a picture of the Xi-2 (on the right) and Xi-3 (on the left):

The Xi-3 is much larger than the Xi-2.

Vanburen, what is your impression so far with the Xi-3? I am considering buying one, now with the web interface for administration and also since it is a lot cheaper than the Unifi AP AC.

Any update from real world users on this product? I may be buying one this week if not will be looking hard at the Linksys or Engenius.

Great reliability as expected from Ruckus, but without beam flex. Ubiquiti controller software is much better, but if you head over to the forums you'll read tons and tons of troubleshooting threads, as well as noisy AP's clicking and ticking. That has turned me off from he UniFi's as they are designed to be ceiling mounted.

I have an Xi-2 for sale in the trade sell buy section.

Well I just returned the Xi-3 the features were TO basic. I now have an Engenius 1750h and its solid so far.
