Look on ebay for slightly older models. R710, R720 should be $200-$300. Not a replacement at scale, but the one-off purchase from ebay is fine for home use.

Unfortunately, w/o firmware updates they are just little better than a brick. Especially for WIFI hardware where you cannot control who can access it - better keep your APs patched.

Both R710 and R720 are currently supported. I installed an update last week.

Yeah, but one cannot upgrade them without purchasing annual support contract from Ruckus.

No, you do not need one for unleashed.

Good to know, thanks. I had bunch of Ruckus Zoneflex APs that I could not upgrade w/o contract.

if it's a model that supports Unleashed, you can also convert them to the Unleashed firmware without a contract.
