Are all 3 WAPs tied to one controller or can I use one left over for another network at my in laws? Has anyone ever attempted this?

Each unit is an independent AP. The "controller" is just a desktop/server-based application that is used to provision and monitor the APs. The APs do not have an administration console hosted locally. So you must install the management software on a computer on the same network as the AP for it to be provisioned. Once an AP has been provisioned it can work independently of the monitoring software. So... Yes. You can use a leftover AP for another installation. In your case, you could either (a) install the software on a computer at you in-laws and provision the AP or (b) provision the AP on the same network as your existing APs and transfer the AP to your in-laws network.

ubnt.com's newer controller software allows one to control multiple geographically separated LANs from a single location. However, not 100% sure if the Pro version is necessary for this feature or not.

Raymond,As far as I know, you can use the third AP at another location that is not apart of your network. You will need to download the software/controller on a pc tied to the new network you are creating.

depends if you are running only one then you can with no controller. if you are running multiple access points then you will need the controller to run the zero handoff feature. you can run the controller remotely itdoesnt have to be at location.

They should work fine, I don't think you need the controller active to have the AP work, you just need it to program them & make any changes. You might want to go with the regulars, not the PRO's if your only going to have a few of these out there. Otherwise you'll want the PRO with a controller running all the time. I had these working without a controller running at one point when I was doing testing and they worked fine. I'd recommend a controller though.

Yes, I run three internet connections off mine: cable, dsl, and 3G USB wireless. I have automatic fallback if primary fails, then if both fail, it falls back to 3G. When services come back, it connects back.

You can create a WAN with the two routers. It is not straight forward to set up but we have done it.

Yes. There's a "Disable network" dropdown in the interface, and you'd select WLAN. There is also a PoE version of the Mikrotik 750 that is compatible with the passive PoE that UniFi and Airmax uses and it has 4 PoE ports. Of course, you'd have to delve into the Mikrotik world, but thought it was worth a mention.

should be fine just turn off dhcp and if you have to... point most of the ips towards youf router(dns,dhcp,gateway). You'll still need a seperate wifi "id" I think.

It is better that one controller is for 1 strip or 2 strips. If you need control 4 strips at the same time, you can use 4pcs 4-zone controller (ASIN: B00MGTVOSA) and 1pcs remote (ASIN: B00HEP269C)

My understanding is that you can cascade them. I have this connected to a four port router with other stuff off the other router ports. Everything can connect.

If you are going to connect the 2 sets the all you need is 1 controller. If you are going to use them in separate situations you will need two controllers.

The Ubiquiti WAP/WLAN set up will allow you to dictate the SSID and PSK. I would think it would be seemless. We do not use mixed equipment WLANs so I cannot speak as an authority on that complete question. I can tell you that the Ubiquiti WAPs provide a seamless WLANThe Ubiquiti Unifi is a very simple WAP set up and the controller resides on the network

You will need an injector for the Ubiquiti WAP. It isn't important where you hook it up. I use five of these in my network and place the injector close to the power source of three of them near the system the WAP is serving. One has a 25' distance from injector to WAP while the rest are 8' or less. The Poe provides the power needed over CAT5 cables. Since not all the wires are used in most WiFi networks the idle wires are used to power a Ubiquiti WAP.

Probably yes but I would use a specific SSID for all your UniFi APs to avoid any problems. I have mine (2 APs) connected to a Cisco E3000 wireless router but I turned the Cisco signals off. You will need to set up the controller software on your network. It is seemless in this configuration though I will probably add another UniFi AP for the back yard.

no unfortunately the zwave device can only be associated with one controller.

Personally I would switch the cisco out as well. You lose all the benefit and power of Ubiquiti software capabilities with only 1 access point. Ubiquiti is designed to be true enterprise grade that gives you the ability to add 100 of these and have them appear as 1 wireless network. Ubiquiti's strong point is the included management software used to set these up. Your devices will automatically connect to the WAP with the highest signal. You can do what you wish, and it would certainly work as you describe, but having an enterprise grade management console is pretty darn cool. I have three of these in my home .

I have a Cisco PLK300 connected to a NETGEAR router on my windows 7 home premium edtion pc and I am using the PLK300 for my game systems (360/PS3) and other media/netflix streaming devices on the other side of the house where the wireless signal is not as great as it is on the other side of the house and I haven't had any problems for several months now.

Yes. I put a router on the receiving end. I did convert it to function as a WAP, but I'm sure it would work fine as a router.
