          Nope, I don't think any of us would recommend gear that pulled stunts like that. That you are totally free of those encumberments are reasons we all recommend UBNT so heavily.

              Is there a model that you would recommend?

                No, I don't work with networking equipment enough. I just know that (through experience) UBNT APs are the bees knees, and that MikroTik Switches seem to work well. Not so sure about the hAPs yet.

                  IIRC Mikrotiks has a much bigger presence in Europe.

                    I think that that is the core problem, that not a lot of people have used them and don't know how they compare.

                      It looks like they require a license for their OS?

                            Yes.

                            No not at all. They use RouterOS and is pretty nice.

                            The hAPs seem to be working well.

                              No, MikroTik. https://mikrotik.com/

                              I do not use them anywhere, but only because I think UBNT is over all better.

                              They are my second recommendation after UBNT.

                                  No, because HPE bought them to milk.

                                    we have aruba stuff at work.
                                    switches are ok, no problem nice stuff.
                                    APs are also great, I really like the virtual controlled embedded in APs and set inHA by default (the virtual controller dies? it its respawn on another AP).
                                    main issue you must find a tech which is able to tune the load balancing... we are still struggling at it...
                                    an UI is terrible.

                                      our ISP uses mikrotik grear. we have radio backup un mikrotik antennas.

                                        @tim_g if you look at the mikrotik switch offering it is quite limited wrt Ubiquiti

                                          I purchased the access points... Do I need a "Cloud Key"?

                                            @ccwtech No, most of us spin up a virtual machine and install the controller on it.
