Premium Home WiFi: Aruba vs. Ruckus vs. UniFi | Performance Comparison

Correction
- Other than R350, other three models supports 160 MHz on 5 GHz radio.

As a part of my journey searching for possible alternative to my current full UniFi network home setup, I got a chance to try both Aruba Instant and Ruckus Unleashed. In order to make my final decision, I have decided to compare these three platforms, and WiFi 6 Access Points.

In this second of the series, I am comparing performance difference amongst the 3 vender’s WiFi 6 access points.

You’ve convinced me that there is something amiss with my Ubiquiti UAP products. I have always felt they were not as snappy as the Arubas and Ruckus WAPs that I used in office or in university. Out goes my Unfi!

Anyone have any idea of the coverage area in Square feet for the Ruckus R350 and R550? I've been pulling my hair out trying to find an answer. Ruckus refuses to answer emails. Probably a tell tale sign.
