Ubiquiti - Instant Wi-Fi System

Stability issues for certain clients, limits on client number (LOW limits) I have An Amplifi Instant setup just for my kid to not use Deco. It's speed limited, but we are off FiOS 300/300 and on Comcast. The app thing is just annoying. OH. You NEED a Router between ISP modem in bridge mode and Decos or your LAN goes down when the ISP does. Despite the Amplifi Instant being App based, I'd go with a modern one. I really need to get opnWRT working. Then, WiFi is AP only. I wish wifi worked in those rooms

I switched from Amplifi mesh to Linksys mesh several years ago and have been very happy with it. I put a tp-link ER605 switch/router in front of it to provide the vpn connectivity and boost my throughput.

Amplifi is on sale. It is a mesh network for home by Ubiquiti. Includes a router and two wireless AP’s. I have installed dozens of these and they work great. It is on sale for around $170.00. Usually it is $350.00. I just did one a few weeks ago. Now their whole house has no issues with wifi.

Look up Amplifi mesh by Ubiquiti. i have installed it in fairly large homes? i have one client who owns about ten Sonos devices scattered over three floors in a 12,000 sq ft house. We had to add a couple of extra wireless access points but he said it works perfectly now. That was over a year ago.

I still run an old Amplifi

I picked up an AmpliFi for $50 on Craigslist. It’s been remarkably solid.

Ubiquity Amplifi. It's unfortunately end of life now and it appears Ubiquity is no longer interested in the home wireless market segment. Still works great though and you can often find the system used for cheap.

I wasn’t overly impressed with the Unifi mesh performance in my house, this was years ago though when it first came out

I have just moved to Unifi from Linksys due to the constant issues with the Velop mesh. All wired and seems to be working very well. Even the Mrs is happy

au Hikari is a true dual-stack IPv4/IPv6. They don't use v6plus/MAP-E or any 4-over-6 tunneling. However, since they’re using 802.1X (EAP) for their authentication, you cannot easily use a third-party router. They also don't let you enable bridge mode, so one of the most common solutions for people wanting to run their own router is to use https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy to proxy EAP packets to au Hikari's router while letting a third-party router handle the routing. If you just want a stable Wi-Fi, the easiest solution is to just plug in a Wi-Fi router running in AP mode to au Hikari's router. If you're looking to replace au Hikari's router, most consumer hardware won't be able to route 10Gbps, so forget about Buffalo, ASUS, TP-Link, etc. You need to at least a prosumer equipment. Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro can (almost) do this when IPS is disabled (it can do ~3.5 Gbps with IPS). Another valid option if you have a networking background is MikroTik CCR2004, which can do 10Gbps routing (but MikroTik is on a very opposite end of user friendly.) For Wi-Fi, Ubiquiti's UniFi is probably the safest choice. For Wi-Fi 7, perhaps something like U7-Pro + at least UCG-Max. If you want to use Ubiquiti on the router side as well, perhaps UDM-Pro + USW-Pro-Max + U7-Pro. Personally, I use MikroTik with static routing and let au Hikari's router handle NAT (see [an old thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/comments/1kjtbmf/comment/mrvco1a/?context=3)), though this solution means there's one extra hop to go out to the internet. Most of my network is wired, so I don't care that much about Wi-Fi (currently Aterm WX11000T12), but I'm looking to switch my Wi-Fi to Ubiquiti as well (while keeping MikroTik on the routing side).

I use Ubiquity Unifi gear since I’ve used it for almost 10 years. Netgear Orbi is a high quality product, Eero is probably ok too. More a question of how big your space is, is there a way to hardwire access points etc. The standard Verizon router may be totally fine for a small space.
