Even late gen is iffy. You have to be really careful with your firmware selection!

I have this for the last two months from EA. I'd say, no. Not super stable. I'm having all sorts of issues with my APs (2-LR and 1-Lite). If you want to set it and forget it, probably not there yet. I just had to reboot all my APs yesterday because they were acting up (not allowing some clients to connect at all). Some weird stuff so far.

You need the software controller to configure it, but you don't necessarily need to run the software 24/7 unless you're interested in collecting the stats. If you just want to run it as a simple AP, you can configure once and then just shut down the controller software. It'll remember it's configuration through power cycles no problem.

Had issues with an 18 month old Nano starting to act up under load and now one of my LRs decides to start a broadcast storm randomly every few months. This is using their PoE injectors and UPS power. Not a fan as of late.

Do you have to purchase the controller software?

No, you can download the software for all major OSs on their website, you can also setup via their apps.

It's free but you do need a system to run it on. I have only run it on Linux machines, but it's Java... so it might work on Windows or other OSs. They also have the "cloud keys" if you want something you don't have to do as much with (it's a small raspberry-pi like computer that has the software pre-installed).

Nope, software is a free download. They sell hardware appliances to run the controller SW on if you want a 24/7 controller, but it's not necessary.

No, it's free. Runs on Windows, Linux (x86 and ARM), BSD, macOS

EDIT: whoops, sorry, you're already getting too much help 😜
