Can anyone suggest a good alternative to Meraki access points?
I have two MR26 APs at home (which are working fine) but their licences are due to expire soon. I don't really want to pay more cash to keep obsolete APs running. I'd much rather buy new hardware which don't need licences to work.
I've looked at Unifi but there always seem to be issues with the AP firmware - mainly users on the Unifi forum saying never to use the latest version etc.
I've also found the Cisco Small Business WAP571 which looks good for the price.
The main reason I use Meraki is because of the management portal and band steering - I think that's what it's called - where the AP has one SSID for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Any help would be great.
