Netgear as a Wireless Solution?

[ConradJones]

No your wireless still works depending on how you have it configured. Its not a subscription but a license and it tends to work out cheaper than a support renewal on other systems plus no controller costs depends on setup though

 

if its anything like aerohive, it works fine with no connection to the cloud, it just means you can't make any new configuration changes to it.

If money is that low why don´t you buy Ubiquiti (UniFi | Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.), put your clients in extra VLANs, set ACLs,...

Going Meraki here. 34 APs, 4 PEO switches. Sign up for a webinar and get a free AP! Sign up for Dashboard account and use that Trial kit! I was impressed with support and cooperation. And turned out midway between Meru and Extricom (lowest) pricing.
