Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to find a wireless solution for my house that actually works. To get proper 5GHz coverage for most of the house and front/back yards I need 4+ AP's and have been using unifi UAP-AC's since their release a while ago. I can't say i've been very happy with them (middling performance, crashes, RMA's, device incompatibility etc.).
I'm very curious about moving to something like the ruckus R700 or R710, i've heard mostly good things about beamflex+, and the R710 has MU-MIMO. My question is, do I have to pay for some type of support contract just to get firmware upgrades for these devices once I buy them? I'm not excited about their purchase price but i'm willing to pay it to finally get something that works well, however i'm not willing to pay a shitton annually for a support contract just to receive firmware updates for personal use. Thanks for any help or insight!
