"I’ve been using UniFi’s for a while now and I’ve expanded and updated different bits a few times over the years."
"it allows a combination of mesh and hardwire, which can be good for areas that mesh just won't get"
"I can create VLANs for just cameras and security. ... Separate ones for business and can filter application etc"

"WiFi issues aren’t a thing at my house, and there are no dead zones. ... I have solid signal anywhere on my property"

"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."
"I am running U6 Mesh APs, using a single SSID, and have no issues whatsoever with my HomeKit WiFi IoT devices."
"The ability to move throughout my house, jumping for AP to AP while having a video call is life changing."

"I have two houses with Unifi mesh setups and virtually never have an issue. When I do, it's the ISP."

"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."

"UniFi system easily lets you set up separate SSIDs with whatever channels you want to assign."

"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)"

"However, wirelessly meshing 3 APs is not recommended at all. You’re just going to run out of bandwidth for your clients at that point."
"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."

"U6 Mesh Pro is a huge. It’s about the size of 3 U6 Mesh put together. I would avoid it."
I second this suggestion - the UCG Ultra with U6 Pro ACs is brilliant - more expensive but you get a quality setup
r/BuyItForLife • Best mesh wifi system recommendations ->I use a couple Unfi Pro 6 APs and a cloud key + controller. Works great!
r/ATTFiber • How to boost AT&T Fiber Wi-Fi signal? Need advice on mesh setup and equipment ->I had phone jacks and was able to convert enough of them to Ethernet to get a great Ubiquiti system set up. One u6 in wall, one u6 pro ceiling mounted in a utility closet, and one u6 mesh outdoors. The phone wiring was daisy chained and only some were cat5. But I got 2 working jacks out of it, plus mounted one AP outdoors. And 3 APs is plenty for a ~1800 sq ft house even with old construction and suboptimal AP placement. It’s also possible to fish wires through walls but may be difficult depending on your house. If your basement is unfinished or you have an attic might be easier. If you do have to go mesh without wired backhaul I’d probably just get eero or one of those
r/HomeNetworking • Which WiFi mesh system for new 3 level house? ->I have a similar setup at home. I have a U6 Mesh connected to a USW Flex that is housed in a Flex Utility enclosure. I needed several ethernet ports for the devices i have in an outside gazebo and this worked great. The Flex Utility is waterproof and supplies power to the Flex. The Flex has PoE to power the U6 Mesh. The U6 meshes over 5ghz to another U6 Mesh i have in the house about 50 ft away. I get about 150Mbps to the devices connected to the Flex which is more than enough for what i needed. If i was doing it now, i'd probably go with U7 Outdoor but still use the USW Flex to power it and leverage for more ethernet ports.
r/Ubiquiti • U7 outdoor vs. U6 Mesh Pro (what to buy?): Newbie question about meshing between cabled network ->I'm not sure how I could move the router higher in the cabinet without having to rewire the whole cabinet or have 5 Ethernet cables running up to the router at the top which would be messy. Is it likely that moving the router up higher would have a big impact (still in enclosed cupboard)? The router downstairs is also in an enclosed cupboard under the TV, but I could potentially put a U6 Mesh on top of the TV unit as it doesn't look too offensive. I bought a U6 Mesh but didn't install it as I assumed I would return it given the UDR7 didn't have better range than the Asus.
r/HomeNetworking • Which mesh compatible router has the best range? ->My UDR7 replaced two U6 Mesh units, approx 2800 square feet. My UDR7 is upstairs on one side of my home and have complete coverage. I’d start with the UDR7 and see how it goes, you can always add more later.
r/Ubiquiti • Will the Dream Router 7 have better coverage than an old mesh network? ->I'd go Unifi if you're willing to pay for a nice user experience but if you don't want ceiling mounted AP's, the only wifi7 options are the UX7 or the U7 Pro Wall with the table stand. Wifi 6 options have the U6 Mesh but there isn't a U7 mesh yet. An example setup: * Gateway: UCG Fiber * Switch: Flex 2.5G PoE or Non POE depending * APs: UX7 or U7 Pro Wall with Stand
r/HomeNetworking • Orbi Wifi 5 mesh >>> "Pro-sumer" Short Stack? ->Unifi with a bunch of U6 Mesh or other AP that have 4x4 radios.
r/HomeNetworking • Best wifi mesh system — which one should I buy? ->I have Unifi for this.
r/HomeNetworking • Tplink Deco is my favorite mesh kit to install for customers having connection issues. ->I bet it is fine for people that aren't doing much with their wifi. Having each AP wired is a giant improvement so you're doing people big service.
r/HomeNetworking • Tplink Deco is my favorite mesh kit to install for customers having connection issues. ->Number of streams. U7 lite is a 2x2 on 2.4Ghz, and 2x2 on 5Ghz. The U6 Mesh is 2x2 on 2.4Ghz, but is 4x4 on 5Ghz.
r/Ubiquiti • U7 Lite as mesh system? ->I’ve fitted Ubiquiti into a couple of multi million pound houses in the UK. So far it’s been very reliable, and the customers are very pleased with the aesthetics. The U6 Mesh is very popular as it’s a sleek looking red bull can style in white.
r/HomeNetworking • Which WiFi system to use for big house? ->I’ll just add that I am running U6 Mesh APs, using a single SSID, and have no issues whatsoever with my HomeKit WiFi IoT devices.
