Cisco Small Business 100 Series Wireless Access Points
We have used the 100 Series Wireless Access Points as our "go-to" wireless add-on, to complement our other Cisco Small Business quick deployment equipment. Depending on if the need for wireless arises, having these Cisco Wireless Access Points makes it so much faster and easier to set up to be operational in no time at all.

Ubiquiti is well suited to not just indoor WLAN access, but also outdoors. In fact, the range of the outdoor applications, while maintaining throughput is astonishing. I would say this is not a solution for a 1-5 person small office, due to the costs.

- The access points are rock solid for uptime. Once configured, they don't skip a beat and you'll forget they're there.
- Excellent range and signal strength.
- Very comprehensive configuration and administration via the UniFi Controller software.
- The Ubiquiti access points look great! Whether wall or ceiling mounted, they are discrete and neutral enough to just blend in with the building.
- Being powered via PoE, it's easier to place the access points where they're most useful.

Ubiquiti WLAN
- Management of devices has become much simpler with the UNMS application, but personally, I would like to see some AirMax-like devices from their Unifi line where everything could be managed from an Unifi controller.
- Most Ubiquiti devices are 24V PoE, which is the bane of my existence. I have had several devices fried when staff plugged into standard 48V PoE. They generally don't fail catastrophically, either. You just get strange issues that are difficult to diagnose and eventually need to replace them.
- Devices seem to have trouble with many patch cables/switches. Make sure you certify any patch cables you make and don't over crimp.
- Sending devices from the factory with same 192.168.1.20 IP instead of DHCP makes it a pain to bulk-setup devices.

Ubiquiti makes great Access points at various tiers provided far better coverage and throughput than consumer-grade wireless repeaters and routers. We have not had any performance complaints from guests or from the administration who use the wifi on a daily basis.

Ubiquiti's support is basically non-existent by design. However, their forums are a great resource if you are willing to do the research and ask questions. Keep in mind Ubiquiti sells hardware, not support so the responses will be from the community of professionals also using Ubiquiti just like you.

Pricing and the use case all pointed to us going with the Small Business 100 Series instead of the Meraki.

We have used products from Netgear, ZyXEL, Cloudmesh, Datto, Mereki, and EnGenius previously often choosing products based on a specific situation, since starting with Ubiquiti [WLAN] we have pretty much stopped [usage] of all other vendors in the networking field and standardized which better allows us to stock spare equipment. Best part is if you need to replace equipment it is easy to swap it out quickly as the controller also acts as a live configuration backup.

Ubiquiti WLAN
- it has improved our warehouse's abilities to pick, pack and dispatch faster and more accurate
- Office wide wi-fi signal allows users to work off their laptops almost anywhere in on site.
- The wi-fi has allowed us to reduce mobile data usage on company mobiles as well, as everyone is on the wireless lan instead on 4G
