"I had just one inside a 2400 sf house, and it covered all of it plus an outbuilding about 30 feet away."

"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"
"All the unifi access points support mesh just fine. ... You can set "auto" or pick specific address points to use for priority 1 and 2. ... I have one of 4 APs with wireless uplink, and have no complaints. It's in my shed and has two wired security cameras attached that are constantly streaming."

"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."

"All hardwired though, no lossy meshing. No kids and wife complaining about wifi."
"I am running U6 Mesh APs, using a single SSID, and have no issues whatsoever with my HomeKit WiFi IoT devices."

"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."
"All my outdoor cameras that aren't wired, are bound to the outdoor access point. That way I don't even have to worry about them occasionally stupidly connecting to the indoor access point and having a weak signal."

"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"

"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."

2begreen 0.2UniFi has a great designer tool that will help you figure coverage with the different devices.
ajcadoo 0.2If that’s the case get a ubiquiti Unifi system. Gateway plus access points. Best performance per dollar with a wired backhaul
AlgoTradingQuant 0.2UniFi is the most solid networking platform.
apple4lifex 0.2switch to unifi from google mesh. Much happier
aretokas 0.2Unifi is no easier/harder than Omada. I'd steer clear of Mikrotik for Wifi unless you *really* know what you're doing.
badhabitfml 0.2Yeah. You dint need to do anything he said. Unifi is as complex is you want it to be. Using the app to set things up isn't too complex. If you go to thr web interface it can do everything, and can get complex. I like that it gets updates. I've had the same router for about 4 years now and it's got way more features than it did originally. They add all sorts of new stuff every month. It can also run cameras, which work really well and don't require a subscription. Nothing is stored in the cloud.
My mom has eero and I have a big unifi system. Eero is super basic. You can config a few things in the app. More advanced stuff is hidden behind a monthly subscription. It works, but the admin interface is terrible and has fewer features than the isp's free router. If you want to do anything more than have wifi, you'll be disappointed. Unifi can scale from a single wifi for an apartment to a full network, camera, and access control for a large company. Nothing requires a subscription. Yes, unifi is more complex but you can get the basic stuff up pretty easily enough. If you later want to get into complex network stuff, it can do that too. Eero came free from the isp. Beyond that, I wouldn't buy it again. It's way too basic for my needs.
BinaryDichotomy 0.2You can build a much more reliable and scalable system for less money with much better components from Unifi. Consumer mesh is a joke.
Unifi by a country mile, and it's not even close.
bmf7777 0.2love the unifi ecosystem and products ... but be careful, an addiction can form and you'll end up with 11 switches, 20 cameras and 10 APs
Bolinious 1.0i'm in the "Mesh works great if you use it right" camp. i use a u6 pro which is wired to my u6 pro in meshed in my home office to devices that don't have WIFI (desk phone, PC, etc...), and a u6 lr+ which is wired to my U6 mesh in my garage which is meshed and have no issues. there's also a U6+ meshed to give better service to another part of the house (i didn't give it AP priority). both my wired AP's are in the basement (front and rear of the house), and both meshed AP's that are in the house are on the second floor. my cameras on the garage, what i do in my home office, and everything else on my network doesn't care what which AP it's on, works for what i need.
boomer7793 1.0I have the same problem. There is form insulation everywhere, I can’t punch new holes in the walls or ceilings. I deployed the In-Wall 6 and Mesh 6s. The in wall in the office and primary bed room. Two Mesh 6s in the living room front of the house. Blanket coverage.
