    Fun fact I made my sales team standardize on Omada for all network hardware we are providing (highrise security systems, so SDN is usually out of scope) I was considering replacing my ubiquiti AC Pro soon, but I didn’t settle on a new model of access point yet. What are the mikrotik wifi APs bad at? if it’s meshing I will only have one.

    I didn’t look at The Dude before, but it doesn’t seem depreciated?

      Their solution to central management (Capsman) is a burning mess, when WiFi6 came out for a long time(I think 2 years) you were unable to keep older and newer APs on the same controller, so you needed two Capsman instances. Roaming between them is very unreliable and generally their hardware is underwhelming in terms of antenna quality, etc.

      For one AP it is not as bad, but still annoying, if you want to centrally manage more APs it is a nightmare.

      I replaced my MK APs with Omada with the software controller on a LXC and couldn’t be happier - they play along nicely with my MT infrastructure and are way more reliable.

      I really love MT,but not their WiFi.
