I'm pretty sure the WRT-54G I had in 2005 was better at penetrating walls than anything Ubiquiti has ever built. After dealing with the one my mother was issued for her remote work I'm convinced that anyone not trying to remote-admin a hundred-router campus installation would be a fool to buy one.
Nothing is where you expect it to be. Getting to the control panel requires multiple login screens. Changing a port forwarding rule for devices that are and are not currently connected not only isn't on the same screen, it's not even in the same section of the control panel.
I had no end of problems getting it up and running for her, despite having paid tech support on the phone. Everything connected via ethernet would benchmark at exactly 1/2 the normal download speed of her old router, and anything on wifi benchmarked at 1/6. For the first three days her IP phone just rang continuously with nobody there, and neither I nor the tech support guy have any idea why it started working correctly.
