> I'm not sure why they're as popular as they are For me it's always been price. Back when we adopted them Ubiquiti UAPs were pretty much the only thing close to enterprise access points (centralized management, radius support and all that jazz) but at 1/10th of the price of Cisco/Ruckus/Aruba. I agree that they're a bit overhyped: we have 200+ deployed and they are not exactly the most reliable, some devices just disappear from the controller forever, some early generation ones would just overheat and die, CLI management is non-existent. But hey for $70 a pop you can just buy a truckload of them and replace them as needed.
