+Since I’m using Ubuntu at home, I choosed Lubuntu 16.04LTS: an Ubuntu based distro with a
+lightweight desktop environment (if ever needed). If you didn’t gave up at this point, I don’t
+need to go into details about the installation, right?

+My first choice is Aruba.
+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's scattered across the globe in two different clouds, one is a VPN
+based infrastructure, the other controller is accessible over the internet. Both are rock solid.

+    Asus R6-AC66U Then there’s Asus, which won this contest hardly breaking a sweat. The company
+    simply out-engineered its competition and came up with a best-in-class feature set. Even
+    more amazing is that the RT-AC66U accomplished this in essentially a first-generation
+    product and delivered it at a price point that handily bests its closest competition.
+    For all of the above, we believe the RT-AC66U deserves our infrequently-bestowed Elite award.
