I run a Microtik Routerboard and a few Ubiquiti Unifi AP's. Never had a peep out of it with over a years uptime now.
The problem seems to be shitty consumer grade hardware (isn't it always), I'd advise upgrading to entry-level business grade gear, it's much more reliable.
- jdblair 9y ago+1 for the MikroTik routerboard. My 2011UiAS-2HnD has been running great for 2 years. Caveat: the configuration UI complex! It's easy to set up a basic configuration. More complex features (vpn, port forwarding, custom firewall) are arcane, in the same way configuring a Cisco router is arcane. But those complex features are available!
- amiga-workbench 9y agoYep, the quick setup will handle a standard residential configuration for you, but if you want failover or load balancing things get more complicated.
- AnAfrican 9y agoMikrotik is also as cheap as it gets.
- amiga-workbench 9y agoYeah, but cheap in the same way as a refurbished ThinkPad, not cheap as in poorly quality.
- pixl97 9y ago>The problem seems to be shitty consumer grade hardware Partially.... Yes, consumer grade hardware sucks, but so do consumers. When you see a wifi router in a corner, partially covered in junk (or blocked by household stuff), and it's power brick is sandwiched between 5 devices and is running about 150 degrees, it's not really the hardwares fault. People that tend to install pro-sumer/commercial equipment tend to plug things into UPS's with proper ventilation and center of the room mount their AP, leading to a far reduced number of incidents.
