+ | If budget is a concern, go with Ubiquity, you can use a VM for your controller. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You need to be aware of best practices when working with ubiquiti: | ||
+ | Build a controller and leave it alone. Installing it on the laptop of the week and then reinstalling every | ||
+ | time you go on site is unacceptable for a professional deployment. | ||
+ | Configure DNS and DHCP properly so that unifi.localdomain.suffix (as handed out by DHCP) points to your | ||
+ | controller, and configure option 43 with the IP for your controller. | ||
+ | Run a recent version of the controller so you get the latest firmwares on your AP's! The version on the disc | ||
+ | is worthless! | ||
+ | That's really it, I have dozens of Unifi' | ||
+ | based infrastructure, | ||
