Trying a new AP here. (currently using Ubiquiti). I have no real dependences on wireless here for much.
I do not work for Ruckus and just a mention here of something I am trying.
I did read recommendations about Ruckus on the PFSense forum.
Note that historically used Cisco APs in the late 1990s/early 2000's, modded OS APs (Linksys, Buffalo, micro routers with OpenWRT) and Ubiquiti.
The Ubiquiti is/was the first WAP that I have not JTAG'd and modified in any way as the OS is very nice.
I do have separate LAN interfaces on my PFSenses firewall here that go to separate networks (along with VLANs).
Currently testing WiFi wireless on autonomous APs (3) dedicated to WiFi MQTT automation.
Read good stuff about the Ruckus R500.

The ZoneFlex R500 is the industry’s best-performing 2x2 802.11ac indoor WLAN access point, combining Ruckus-patented RF technologies with the new IEEE 802.11ac standard to provide outstanding WiFi performance.
The R500 features dual radios, capable of concurrent operation. It features a 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac radio in a 2x2:2 spatial stream configuration, capable of physical layer rates of up to 867 Mbps. A 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n radio in a 2x2:2 spatial stream configuration offers an additional 300 Mbps of physical layer throughput. Ruckus’ ZoneFlex R500 is an ideal access point for medium client density enterprise and hotspot environments including SMBs, schools, hotels, branch offices and retail outlets.
