Just starting to carry the Ruckus lineup and my customer is looking for an outdoor AP. Wants to reach the boat launch area which is about 90 feet from the house Which one would you recommend?

I know you said you are looking for Ruckus which I cannot comment on as we don't deal with them. I have however had good luck with the Ubiquiti AUP-AC-M-PRO and am getting much farther than the 90' you are needing for your installation.

If you need to cover a specific area then I would recommend going with one of the models that has sector antenna options (120 or 30 degree). This will significantly increase performance at range.

We've used the T301 for a while with very few problems when we install them at beach accesses. I believe the range is 120 degrees horizontally and 30 degrees vertically...so of course we place them a bit back from the beach, but since it's typically line of sight it works great.



One of the owners of the company I work for had either an EnGenius outdoor ap, or a Ubiquiti outdoor ap (I forget), out on his back...I don't know what to call it, but it also worked fine and reached all the way out to the end of his really long dock. *snicker* But yeah, the T30xx has worked well for us.

Talk to your rep about their product line. They have narrow beam units that are great but not mentioned in their normal channels and I don't think they have unleashed options for them. The one we are using is an R301. It got WiFi out about 300 feet to the beach. When they row their canoe in front of the beach, out to about 500 feet, they get reception out there.
