Does UniFi have to have its "server" on 24/7, or is it only required to provision APs? Got a couple sites that need covered with wireless. UniFi looks amazing (and the price is right), I just don't want to have to leave another PC running 24/7 to handle them if I don't have to.
e: looks like you don't have to have the unifi controller running 24/7 unless you want to use the hotspot features


I have a church that is wanting to look into offering wifi. There's enough brick walls and distance that you'd probably need 2 access points. Would be nice to be able to do QoS. They don't have a huge budget, so I'm going ot see about setting them up with OpenDNS for some content filtering. I'd like to putit on a separate subnet from the wired network. Is UniFi a good choice, or is there something else that would work better with only needing 2 APs? POE is not required, but would be nice.

Has ubiquity still not fixed their production issues? Seems like it's always a crapshoot as to if you're going to be able to get their products. Their products are awesome but they're so hard to get.
