yah 3 for $199 is nuts.
i was also told you can remotely monitor these systems...which is a big selling point for me. As far as I can tell so far.... "Remotely Monitoring" would simply require a server on site with Logmein or some other Remote log in/screen sharing stuff. With 2.0 We'll be able to do a lot more with the system. Currently, you can see if AP's are offline and you can see whos connecting to what AP and activity levels. not much real useful stuff...

Other than the server running the unifi software.... I'm no expert yet, but I dont think that you can just "Check the AP's" without a server....

Also the models of the managed solution?

I spent some time studying it last night. Seems very intriguing especially at this super low price. So we just put in an order for a couple to evaluate. Will report what we find out! I'm very interested in your findings.

It has its place.
I wouldn't use it for anyone that is a power user or for a an environment that has more than a handful of connections at a time

I'm nothing close to an IT person, but I have been going through Unifi like s*it through a goose and it had been very solid in large homes with 10+ users. I wouldn't call them power users.
The zero handoff works well. Seems to always stay connected, streaming Sonos from "this iDevice" and so on, but I did some experimenting. t seems like it tends to hang on to the first one it sees for a long time. It gets weak enough for a measureable slow down on speedtest and one bar on the wifi symbol, but it will eventually hand off. Is there anything that can be done to adjust this, either on the Unifi or the client?

We are using unifi exclusively at this point. Mostly Pros, but plenty of basic AP's as well.
I have sites with 20-30 active users and no problems at all.
The remote management functions are outstanding and we often know if issues before the clients with the server in the office.

Is there a step in the programming to set up the zero handoff?
