Ubiquiti - Instant Wi-Fi System

Stability issues for certain clients, limits on client number (LOW limits) I have An Amplifi Instant setup just for my kid to not use Deco. It's speed limited, but we are off FiOS 300/300 and on Comcast. The app thing is just annoying. OH. You NEED a Router between ISP modem in bridge mode and Decos or your LAN goes down when the ISP does. Despite the Amplifi Instant being App based, I'd go with a modern one. I really need to get opnWRT working. Then, WiFi is AP only. I wish wifi worked in those rooms

I'm replacing my Amplifi system because Amplifi doesn't seem up to matching our new fiber capabilities. I tried Eero yesterday and it's not configurable to my network's IP scheme. I'm too lazy to reconfigure every device with a static IP. Got Deco this morning and it won't let me change the DNS to my Pi-hole. I also can't find how to create device groups for turning off network connections at specific times. I have an 11 y/o who thinks it's ok to get up in the middle of the night and watch TV all night.

Okay. So here’s the deal, as someone who went from an Anplifi setup to a Unifi one. They’re not the same. Unifi CAN mesh. AMPLIFI was built for it. At a technical level the AMPLIFI gear has dedicated radios to build the mesh. Not so on the Unifi side. You’re going to want to run cable. And at that point, it’s dealers choice as to what APs you get.

I've had success with Asus Zen Wifi and Amplifi; but I think Asus is a better product personally. I have Ubiquiti in my home right now and don't particularly like it.

Ubiquity Amplifi. It's unfortunately end of life now and it appears Ubiquity is no longer interested in the home wireless market segment. Still works great though and you can often find the system used for cheap.

I used amplifi mesh with 4 points for about 8 years and it was still fine. Recently moved to a smaller house and don’t need as much coverage and new provider uses eero. Amplifi went through brick to the outdoor patios. It was terrific. Very much plug and play with no hiccups. I like the eero app for turning off WiFi to teenagers on school nights. :) Miss the amplifi cube for monitoring activity. All that said, I bought the amplifi 8 years ago so it’s probably outdated, but it was muscular enough to get four of us through working and schooling from home through the pandemic and beyond.
