Yeah, most people ignore ZH. UBNT marketing hyped it up quite a bit, and for a residential deployment it can work OK, but if you have any kind of background in wireless you'll understand that it goes out the window for a non-trivial deployment due to the requirement of all APs sharing a channel.

They should have never made the LR models. Louder radios don't work with today's mobile clients. It's antenna or nothing. The pricing is old as well. It hasn't changed since it debuted. A platform that manages handoffs would mitigate that issue. Mobile devices really suck in that regard.
