Is it too much to ask for one of these companies to come out with a small $500 system that includes one master 'router', 2 APs, and 2 PoE ports to power said APs? that would be a dream, and much easier to deal with than a pro-level Ubiquity style system.
Unless it has changed in the last 12 or so months since I looked, the requirement that you have to run java on a client to manage them for starters. Also some significant vulnerabilities, though I'll grant most of the other manufacturers of consume routers have tons as well.
Also Last I checked, for their seamless roaming, it still required everything to be on the same channel, which adds to wireless network congestion.

Ubiquiti: 2x UniFi AP AC Pro + 1 USG < $500. Comes with POE injectors. What's hard about this? Add a $70 Cloud key and it's super easy and just works!azazel1024 - Monday, January 9, 2017 - link
