Matt, I'm reviving this older topic because I'm curious to hear what your experience are now with UniFi now you've been using it for a couple of months. And more in particular with the roaming of your setup. Does this work flawlessly every single time?

Another thing: can UniFi be setup with any router of choice? I would expect yes, but I figured I'd ask. I've read in that other thread you're now looking into buying one of those routerOS routers, probably because they offer you a lot for their money and you don't need WiFi on the router anyway.

I must say this is a very interesing path to choose.
I'm now in dubio for my own setup : what to choose : the new Netgear r7000 AC1900 router, which is said to have excellent range and might also solve my "dead spots" problem in one go, or the non-wifi router + unify setup, which would be a bit more expensive and non-802.11 AC compatible (well, if I don't want to pay the AC price premium anyway), plus I'd have to be absolutely sure the roaming works as advertised...
