Constantly tweaking settings is not a use-case they have optimized for. Most of their customers are small IT shops that support small/medium sized businesses. They set up a network for a few doctors offices, law firms, etc. by clicking a few buttons in the controller's GUI once, and then remotely keep an eye on the networks with the controller software's remote management features.


If you set the thing to automatically optimize WiFi (the default!) it goes completely down for several minutes every day.

I would not want to have to carefully optimize settings to get that third nine of uptime for a small business.


And yet you can still end up with APs on the exactly same channels!

I use auto settings and I was stunned to see it recently. APs see each other so it's not like it's completely meaningless.
