"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."
"Recently switched to a UniFi system and no trouble at all with iPhone handoffs on their wifi7 APs. ... Best decision ever."
"My devices no longer connect to whatever random access point it happens to see even if there’s a better one closer."

"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."
"They blanket 5+ acres and a 2300 sq. ft. house with WiFi, zero issues."
"I have two houses with Unifi mesh setups and virtually never have an issue. When I do, it's the ISP."

"Unifi doesn't require any cloud stuff. Never. If you want, you can, but it's not a requirement. Not for initial setup, nor for management. No cloud account is needed."
"You so not need to run their controller software 24/7. You can just run it to set up and uodate firmware."

"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)"
"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."

"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 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."
Had Netgear 6 for about 3 years. Going with Unifi 7
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->I use TP link Deco X95 2 nodes system at home and Unifi 7 at work works without any issues for over a year though we will replace Eufy at work as we rolling out our own cloud platform
r/EufyCam • Mesh WIFI Recommendations ->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. Being that your current house is a ranch, do you have access to the attic? All you'll really need to do is run maybe about 1 or 2 ethernet cables (2 if you use the UCG Fiber which I recommend getting or 1 in the case of the Dream Router 7) in the attic which you could theoretically take with you when you move. I've shopped around for mesh routers as my dad has a Lorex Wifi Flood Light camera above the garage that our current router can't reach and the best combination I've seen so far is the UCG Fiber and any of the U7 access Points. I've priced everything and the Eero Max 7, Orbi 970 & TP-Link's equivalent came out to over $100 more than any UniFi equipment combination that I need.
r/HomeKit • UniFi as Mesh Router? ->If you’re heavy on Apple devices then WiFi 7 won’t be coming for a while and you should be okay with a WiFi 6E router for the next 5 years. However, if you want to go forward with you can look at Ubiquiti CG Fibre and U7 or UX7 AP. The router should be future proof and allow you upgrade your AP nodes based on which band you want. If you want a different mesh brand then you can look between Deco (best on budget), Asus Zenwifi BT10 (tri-band) / BQ16 (quad-band) or Orbi 770 / 870 / 970. This are the top 3 brands with top mesh systems and best coverage. Nevertheless, your bandwidth and devices should decide your choice (added with budget) Honorable mention will be Eero Max 7 but it’s barely customizable and you have to do things the Eero way
r/HomeNetworking • WiFi 6 Vs WiFi 7 mesh which should I upgrade to? ->I went from DD-WRT for years to ASUS AiMesh and have been on Unifi equipment for a good four years now. I never have any issues with roaming (3600+ home) and I can fine tune whenever necessary (rare). I love the Unifi and don't plan on moving away any time soon. If you want peace of mind, I definitely also recommend Unifi.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->I made the jump with the UDM-Pro and three nano HD APs. This covered the above mentioned home just fine. I now replaced one of the nanos with a U7 since that covers our rooms a little better than the nanoHDs. 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. But since I've started this is what I have now expanded to... https://preview.redd.it/b65x186jbsje1.png?width=864&format=png&auto=webp&s=db4d27006368d4966fa2d7808f122144d7a110a9
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->Ubiquity hands down. Their WiFi 7 gear is reasonably priced too
r/HomeNetworking • Best Mesh For The Money - Black Friday Deals 2025 ->My Orbo970 system was overpriced junk. Fast, but we all use iPhones in my house and it just doesn’t know how to deal with them. Recently switched to a UniFi system and no trouble at all with iPhone handoffs on their wifi7 APs. Best decision ever.
r/orbi • This brand is garbage. Please forward this to all Apple users. ->I think Eero would be the most plug and play option. I've used TP-Link and they're decent but unclear political situation / possible ban. Ubiquiti/Unifi if you want to tinker and manage their network remotely (expensive)
r/HomeNetworking • Best mesh WiFi for large house with multiple floors and walls ->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
