"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."

"AP roaming works seamlessly"
"Became FANTASTIC once I strung some ethernet cables among four of them including the one serving as a router in strategic locations (our house is rather large and some walls contain metal lathe). ... We now always have excellent connectivity and fast roaming."
"The ability to move throughout my house, jumping for AP to AP while having a video call is life changing."

"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"

"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."
"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 can create VLANs for just cameras and security. ... Separate ones for business and can filter application etc"

"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."

"Their accessible products like the DR7 and UE7 don’t use 4x4 antennas, 6ghz or MLO for backhaul which significantly decreases bandwidth. ... They also don’t have any products with a band for dedicated backhaul, they have absolutely nothing that can compare to a full WiFi mesh from competitors like ASUS, Tplink, Eero or netgear."
"They provide some WiFi meshing but it’s significantly worse than other brands and they expect you to run wiring for the backhaul if you want performance. ... Unifi has nothing that compares to actual wireless mesh by the home router competitors."
"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."
"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? ->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
