[Rack] ubiquiti wifi routers

[Ben Kochie]

As Casey says, we have the UAP-PRO.  We don't use the smart handoff 
(Zero Handoff) at Noisebridge because it reduces the bandwidth by making 
all APs be on one channel.  The latest firmware supports Min RSSI[0], but 
I haven't been around to experiment with that.

We have something like 30-40 of these APs in our 3 story office at work. 
We had some stability issues with a few of the beta releases, but I think 
we're an edge case for this equipment.  We rolled back to the stable 
firmware and things have been fine, except the handoff is terrible in the 
stable release.  We ended up training everyone to reconnect when roaming 
from one part of the building to the other.  Or for mac users to close the 
lid (suspend) when moving around the building.

I just looked, and they finally released 3.2.1 as stable.  Hopefully it 
doesn't suck.
