Is there seamless switching between AP's when one moves from one towards another or is there "sticking to the low signal" like non-enterprise AP's?

It depends. If you are running the lan controller software there is, but not with all models of the AP's. Great hardware minds, terrible software at Ubiquiti. The "cloud" software has been in beta for years. There is a PC like application you run to manage them.

Seamless switching. I used 3 to cover an area and now I can roam the entire area, automatically jumping between access points while staying on the same network.

It's a mesh so your PC will pick the strongest signal. You'll notice very little disruption when switching stations .

Hey David - these AP's will intelligently switch to the strongest AP seamlessly. I installed 3 at my office and they hand-off devices to each other perfectly.

yes you can. The only issue I am experiencing is roaming. IF your PC is connected to the wifi downstairs and you are going upstairs do expext loss of connectivity for a variable time (from a few seconds to a few minutes). it seems the PC has problem roaming to the new (closer) AP.

No, but I assign my Yamaha gear dedicated ip addresses and reserve the same address on my switch so there's no ip conflicts with the rest of my network equipment.

Yes you can... I have a corporate and Guest network on both of our AP's... When you first configure the install wizard gives you a choice to configure Guest.. Anyways you configure each SSID for whatever VLAN network you need it on.. BTW.. I'm really impressed with the device, The controller software and their support.. This was the first time using UniFi...

The manual says no. You can set it to use both on the same network for faster throughput. I have not tried, but that is what the manual says.

Yes you can. That is exactly what I needed to do. I went from the modem to the switch. And then from the switch to two different routers.

This is a router not an AP. You will not need a managed switch. Keep in mind that this router is very powerful and with that comes some complexity in mgmt. So far though it has been worth a little extra time. Excellent product.

The Cisco switch will provide an IP address to the AP, but it will NOT power it. The POE adaptor supplied with the Unifi AP must be used to power that device.

Yeah. I had 3 diffdifferent devices switched to another and it never gives me any trouble.

The SE2800 is an unmanaged switch and does not support combining multiple links (Link-Aggregation) which you can do in more advanced (managed) switches. Here are some Linksys managed switches that you might want to check: http://www.linksys.com/en-us/business/products/switches

Yes for AP. But if you want to configure any settings, you need to get to web management console. If you use it as signal booster, you'll have to do so through web management console.

It acts like a switch (with or without POE = POE can be turned off) , if you need routing you have to add that on

From what Ubiquiti has said, no. Even though this and the Unifi AP Outdoor are basically the same thing internally, Ubiquiti wants to keep the product lines separated.

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.

Too many unknowns (distance/topography/power/etc). I'd recommend contacting a local IT company to do a site survey. BTW, these specific APs are not designed for outdoor use. See Ubiquiti UniFI AP Outdoor 2x2 MIMO Access Point 802.11bgn

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

Sounds like you will have conflict of two signals on the same bands. I have seen houses with two dish or antennas, but I suppose there is a switch in thier line or receivers.
