    Windows 10

    I've seen the same, but only on Windows VMs. I refuse to run such a shitty OS on a daily basis. On any decent OS you can change your update repos to something more reliable.

    I tested this when I got home from work and it seems to work pretty well. When the signal from an AP gets weak and another signal is stronger, it drops the WiFi and then reconnects. It takes a few seconds, but it does the trick. It also works in my office, where it could see at 9 APs with the...

    The only devices that really move around are two LG G3 Android phones. I've been using Wifi Analyzer on my phone, but didn't spend a ton of time on it yet. How good is Android about connecting to the best AP when initially connecting?

    Yes Dave, same config and ssid. Howell, I left the radio strength and channel as auto. Should I just start lowering them until it works? Seems like trial and error would take quite a while.

    I got another of the same UniFi AP so I can get coverage on the other side of my condo. It's working, however, my LG G3 phone is somewhat sticky to whatever one it's connected to first. Any ideas?

    I'm not very familiar with Arch, maybe Chewy will be around to help you. This should be pretty easy to do with an Ubuntu based distro. Maybe try that if you want something simpler. I prefer Xubuntu.

    I got the Ubiquiti AP today and set it up. It's kind of pain to have to install software to do this, but it works on Linux at least. The speed when I'm near the AP is much better than the POS TrendNet AP it's replacing. It seems to work slightly better through walls, but not appreciably.

    I didn't see that one on Amazon or the Ubiquiti website. I think I'm fine with the one I purchased, I didn't want to go over $100 just for an AP. I also like the idea that the Long Range model I bought has more power.
