Meraki Replacement Plan
-
Oh we have a little over 100 employees, most of whom are on wireless constantly, and that is expected to go up.

This almost appears to be a joke given your name...

@bnrstnr Agreed. Or a forum regular that created a new account because they didn't want to be associated with Meraki.

Don't bother making accounts to hide anything. I ask stupid questions every day but I do learn each time.

I believe the Unfi AP-AC-PROs are the most competitive with this access point. You can get the old dual-radio model (similar specs to the APs you are running) for ~$150. The new 3x3 model runs quite a bit more then that.

An ER-L would blow the MX100 out of the water for significantly less money.

@ubiquiti-user Stop being a chicken shit. We know who you are anyways.

I had two free Meraki AP's I won at a job a few years ago. I put them in and used them for a bit but replaced them shortly after.

Sure you do. . .
Not to egg the fox. . .
@coliver thanks.
@everyone-else it's for political reasons.

3x3 model?
-
The 3x3 model of the Unifi AC Pros is 500-600$ depending on source. I believe that was the price we paid for the Meraki APs when I was supporting those at a different job. They were much more expensive when you consider the additional support costs.

Nevermind I'm a bit behind on the Unifi product line apparently.
https://unifi-hd.ubnt.com/ These are available on Amazon for 300$.
https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-UAP-AC-HD-Unifi-Access-Point/dp/B01N15FSAG/
So half the cost of the Meraki APs and zero support costs. You could buy double the amount, house the spares and still save over the Meraki solution.

I see them for $128 each. . . which is completely reasonable.
-
The AC-HD's use MU-MINO so way faster, a bit more expensive, what would be the comparable for Meraki?

That's the old 2x2 model. The new AP-AC-PRO is faster and has 3 antennas.
-
$349 for 4 antennas is an awesome price point too

The MR52 looks like it is the closest competitor. I believe, but don't quote me, that the hardware cost for those is upwards of $1,000 to $1,500, not including support. That may be MSRP though.
