We're a small MSP IT Company. Our target clients are SMB with 1 to 100 staff. We've been installing network hardware for years, but finding lately that good options for WAPs are getting harder to find, especially at a price point clients would like. We aren't a big enough company to buy a bunch of different WAPs and test them ourselves, and installing untested hardware with new clients is a sure way to lose repeat business if the hardware we purchase doesn't get the job done. Our biggest issue is probably signal interference, it's common that we have 50+ competing wifi signals across all the channels. The only WAPs we have found that consistently work is the MR line from Meraki, but the upfront and annual licensing costs are a hardsell with our customer size. We've used: Unifi, good price, terrible configuration, worse support Cisco WAP 371, 571, etc reasonable price, very susceptible to interference Dlinks, don't seem powerful enough, latency issues with only 10 people connected TP-Link, Trendnet, Tripp Lite, just don't seem to work, more SOHO options than SMB Ruckus, pretty good, higher upfront price range Mikrotek, really good prices, hard configuration
What are other people using that they have found successful?
