"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."

"I set up 6 of them and covered a 2 acre area including a 4 story house, a 4 car garage, another 2 story house, a 2800 sq foot barn and a tiny house."
"The added bonus is I can get coverage outside the house still within 30 ft. So that allows my Waze cameras and Waze lightbulbs to connect just fine as well. I even have a Waze camera inside my motorhome about 100ft away and it gets coverage."
"I have it on my small holding and have good coverage over 2.5 acres"

"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"

"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."

"I do have 2.4GHz dropping similar to my RMA'd U7 Pro. ... E7 has problem same as U7 pro for IOT. Mine is 107 firmware. Single iot network on 2.4ghz SSID with no meshing. Drops IOT randomly every 2 days 🙄 ... They don't reconnect as my 2.4GHz SSID is entirely down. ... In the last 10 days I had E7, I have had 6 WiFi disconnects for entire IOT network. I returned U7 Pro to get same shit but more expensive 🤷🏻♂️"

"Had way too many disconnects"
"For example the U7 Pro. ... So you can't just go to Unifi and "buy the best" and expect that to be rock solid either. ... Yeah it’s mostly the U7 series I heard that there were issues with. ... Personally I didn’t have the issue with my U7 Pro but I also run nanoHDs which my 2.4ghz devices were connecting to for all I know."

"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."

"Ubiquiti's UniFi system is difficult to recommend without running some ethernet cable. ... Even the Eero, Orbi and TP-Link mesh routers I cannot recommend without wired backhaul. ... Some of the U7 access points are capable of doing mesh but the ethernet backhaul to a PoE switch is crucial."

"Ubiquiti UniFi: Fantastic when you can run wired backhaul. Pure wireless uplink works, but it takes more tuning and often won’t outperform a well-placed consumer tri-band mesh system."
"All hardwired though, no lossy meshing."
UniFi has a great designer tool that will help you figure coverage with the different devices.
r/orbi • How does Orbi compare? ->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? ->Not wired. But I have wireless mesh with another U7 PRO and U7 Long Range. Works great
r/HomeNetworking • Best wifi mesh system — which one should I buy? ->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 ->Ubiquity hands down. Their WiFi 7 gear is reasonably priced too
r/HomeNetworking • Best Mesh For The Money - Black Friday Deals 2025 ->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
