"I have setup three Eero mesh systems for family members. They are super easy to setup and maintain. ... It has been set it and forget it for over three years now. These are installed in houses with users who are 65+."
"Having kids who run everywhere for wifi, eero is simply the best. ... Set it, forget it, and it's simplified my life."

"They also all support 802.11r/k/v for roaming and fast switching, regardless of wired/mesh uplink. These protocols make devices seamlessly switch APs as they move around, and without dropping connections. You can be on a video call and walk around without interruption."
"The ability to move throughout my house, jumping for AP to AP while having a video call is life changing."
"Recently switched to a UniFi system and no trouble at all with iPhone handoffs on their wifi7 APs. ... Best decision ever."

"the level of network control provided by ubiquiti software is FAR superior to Google home. ... UniFi tells knows whether problems are with specific clients, APs, or your ISP."
"I can create VLANs for just cameras and security. ... Separate ones for business and can filter application etc"
"the QoS allows you to throttle bandwidth based on network port which I assume can be set for backblaze. ... I checked the options in the QoS section and Backblaze is an option to filter by. There are hundreds in there. Here's a pic of an example: https://imgur.com/a/JYSZFY3"

"firmware updates breaking basic functionality"
"Netgear told me to factory reset after every firmware update. It took over one hour every time…They write it in every forum thread. They never fixed their firmware. This was an awful experience."
"I've tried Orbi several times over the last few hardware generations and it had been the same shitty experience for me each time. It seemed there was always something up with it"

"I would avoid Ubiquiti. It's a great product and I use it. But it requires network know-how the set it up and maintain it."
"Ubiquiti/Unifi if you want to tinker and manage their network remotely (expensive)"
"The one thing I messed up is not understanding POE. The switch doesn’t come with a power supply. It was taking POE from the Dream Router 7, but it wasn’t nearly enough to power these massive E7 access points (they’re like the size of a bathroom scale). I had to separately order the power adapter, but also didn’t feel like waiting, so I went and bought a POE injector for each and they worked instantly. So, a little miseducation on my part, but otherwise a smooth setup."

"Three WAPs(Ubiquity unifi) 3 years ago, have already replaced 2 switches and now all my access points are constantly failing. ... I’ll really need your help. I’ve had this issue for the past three years now. A company installed 3 Ubiquiti WAPs for me that are now out of warranty. Have replaced 2 switches that just died and now all of my WAPs are not connecting to the network."
"But I want to advice to not use Mesh. It only gives you slowness and problems. ... But this is basicly as shite as the Unifi meshing system. ... Meshing #2 is SHITE."
"Had way too many disconnects"

UniFi has a great designer tool that will help you figure coverage with the different devices.
r/orbi • How does Orbi compare? ->You can hook up one unifi AP to the router and mesh off it. you just need the wallwart and an ethernet cable from it to the AP. Not the cleanest but it does work well
r/sysadmin • Recommendations Needed: Wifi Extender/Mesh for Sonicwall Router ->If that’s the case get a ubiquiti Unifi system. Gateway plus access points. Best performance per dollar with a wired backhaul
r/HomeNetworking • Moving into a 5,500 Sq Ft Home—Need Mesh WiFi Advice (Considering Deco BE95) ->UniFi is the most solid networking platform.
r/Starlink • What wifi and/or mesh brand are you using? ->switch to unifi from google mesh. Much happier
r/HomeNetworking • Google nest mesh or something else? ->Unifi is no easier/harder than Omada. I'd steer clear of Mikrotik for Wifi unless you *really* know what you're doing.
r/HomeNetworking • Creating a home mesh network with Poe access points ->Unifi gear is not cheap. But I highly recommend it. I installed a wifi 7 pro AP the other day and it's fantastic. Their gear is great but the price tag reflects it. Highly recommend.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->You can build a much more reliable and scalable system for less money with much better components from Unifi. Consumer mesh is a joke.
r/homeoffice • Best mesh WiFi system? Need a reliable option. ->Unifi by a country mile, and it's not even close.
r/homeoffice • Best mesh WiFi system? Need a reliable option. ->You dont need mesh if you can get cables everywhere. Unifi can also work as mesh though.
r/Starlink • Am I doing this right? Mesh system on new construction home. Any suggestions? ->https://preview.redd.it/zfn21gdqkpje1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=d05d67faf408c3803282fe2ee0b6f84b32b6a222 I used to have a tp-link mesh system, which died just after the 2 year warranty was up. When comparing new systems, the Unifi was actually a decent price, way more features and control, plus much easier to expand and can handle hundreds of devices. We use these APs at the office, very stable/reliable. You dont need a switch, you could use poe injectors instead. Biggest draw back is running ethernet cables where you want them
