We are mostly using Cambium r201 for our Managed Routers(MRS) and charging $5/ month
Adding the Calix 844 and 804 mesh to our menu in July for $15/month as a Mesh system. “Enhanced MRS”. The Calix devices are a bit higher priced but so far they have great range. We have our on ACS through Friendly Tech that we host and manage so we avoid the Astronomical Calix management fees which i just received sticker shock on again today. As for UBNT we use their Security Gateway and build a mesh system off that for Business Customer. The UNMS is awesome for this and the pricing is better suited for the higher price tag business class managed solutions. I have Amplifi at my house and love everything about it except no UNMS connectivity but rather an APP. However they have released in BETA their Dream Machine which is the best of both worlds. If I can get my hands on one for testing I’d be a happy camper! https://store.ui.com/collections/routing-switching/products/unifi-dream-machine-beta <https://store.ui.com/collections/routing-switching/products/unifi-dream-machine-beta> Ryan Hill Operations Manager Amplex Internet (419)837-5015 Ext 1047 www.amplex.net <http://www.amplex.net/> > On Jun 7, 2019, at 4:29 PM, Adam Moffett <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm curious what people are doing for home WiFi. > > I've looked at Calix, Plume, and other big name systems.
