Works well, very capable. Ruckus is an enterprise grade Wifi system that normally is deployed in buildings with hundreds of access points. If you are buying this here, you are probably going to use it for home use, and it will work well in the home too.
This particular unit is an "Unleashed" version which is the type you typically want for home use. Enterprise grade APs use a central controller usually running on a 24x7 PC that stores configuration info for all APs and allows you to configure all APs all at once. The Ruckus Unleashed version uses one of the APs as this 24x7 configuration master, so that you don't have to run a special program on your PC. You just access the configuration console from your web browser when you need to.
This isn't the most stylish access point since it is meant for the corporate environment, but at least it is small. It is meant to be mounted on the ceiling. It doesn't come with a mounting bracket, wanting you to screw in two screws into the ceiling and then you slide the AP over the screws. A mounting template would be useful!
You must power these units through a gigabit Power Over Ethernet switch (POE).
This particular unit is Ruckus's cheapest WiFi-AC capable AP, and it appears to have plenty of horsepower for a home environment. In a corporate environment, you'd use the next version up which is almost double the price to accommodate many more hundreds of simultaneous users.
Ruckus compares favorably to Ubiquiti's APs in terms of price, ease of use and capability. The one thing Ruckus does not have is a lot of variety of APs. In this price point, you've got this unit and that's about it. Ubiquiti has ceiling mounted, in wall, and external APs, all consumer priced. However Ubiquiti needs controller software running on a PC (but not 24x7 unless you use a guest captive portal).
