   Okay, one crapped out two hours into operations.  It took the   
   customer over three weeks to respond and over three months   
   to get a replacement from Ubiquiti.   
      
   The replacement was sent with the first firmware   
   and refused to update.  It also had a dead PoE port,   
   even though it was configured to be on.   
      
   Ubiquiti's service SUCKS.  The customer has been fighting   
   with them for over a month now trying to get a refund.

   I am and they are still obnoxious to set up.

   I support Linux and love the cli but still find edge   
   routers obnoxious.   
      
   Oh they supposedly have a nice "Wizard" to set them up.   
   But they do not ship them with the firmware that has the   
   wizard.  And they won't update. And there are no direction   
   on line to do it manually.  They way to use the "Wizard".   
      
   It should only take me five minutes to set up a router.   
   Lan network: network, mask, IP address, DHCP server,   
   DNS.  Wireless: security, SSID, key.  Reboot.   
   Ubiquiti ain't it.   
      
   Best place to store an edge router is in a trash can.
