"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."
"Wifi always stable anywhere you go on the property."

"literally right next to the router im only getting a maximum speed of 600 mbps, keep in mind this is a fresh install. ... on fast and speedtest.net it doesn't cross 600."
"I couldn't even get speeds close to 500"
"I would never get my gigabit speeds via WiFi. ... even using spectrums new WIFI7 router the equipment is subpar to be nice. ... Finally even with my $500 router I still only get 650-700 down & up which is disappointing."

"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."
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) ->It was so good for me that when I accidentally messed up some wiring it was doing wireless back haul from an older udr to u7ap’s and I only noticed it due to the app showing topology looking wrong. This is 2 story house with udr in basement and aps on the 2 above ground floors.
r/Ubiquiti • Can't run Ethernet - is Ubiquiti setup still worth it for wireless mesh? ->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? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
