I was wondering if you can recommend or share your experience with APs that you can use in locations that have 300-500 users. I friend recommended me Ruckus Wireless, it would be great if you can share your experience with Ruckus or with a similar vendor. My experience with ubiquity for this type of requirement was not that good.
Hi Manuel,
At 300-500 users you may still be in dd-wrt territory with the lack of smart roaming and self-healing features mitigated by a price that makes it practical to simply deploy more access points. Dumb roaming can be good enough when the user count per AP is low.
Aruba it is not, but I had a 150 user deployment on 5 dd-wrt APs that was largely trouble-free.
