"UniFi is very easy to set up. You download the app, stand next to your new gear and it walks you through everything. Some of the cameras with speakers even talk to you. I was a little apprehensive at first too, but all for nothing."
"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."
"Unifi is a great entry level option that is relatively easy to configure and manage."

"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."
"The ability to move throughout my house, jumping for AP to AP while having a video call is life changing."
"My devices no longer connect to whatever random access point it happens to see even if there’s a better one closer."

"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."
"I can create VLANs for just cameras and security. ... Separate ones for business and can filter application etc"
"UniFi system easily lets you set up separate SSIDs with whatever channels you want to assign."

"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)"

"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."

"I bet it is fine for people that aren't doing much with their wifi."
Unifi meshing works automatically and quite well. I have several APs not wired and they do a great job of connecting spots to the wired APs. I'm getting 100Mbps across a U6LR to Uap-ac mesh bridge right now. If you have long distances, Ubiquity also have these Loco range extenders to get a wireless bridge that works really well too. I have one on a farm with a U6LR at the far end and cover almost 1KM of property with 3 APs.
r/HomeNetworking • WiFi 7 Recommendations: TP-Link vs. Unifi vs. Others? ->You can hook up one unifi AP to the router and mesh off it. you just need the wallwart and an ethernet cable from it to the AP. Not the cleanest but it does work well
r/sysadmin • Recommendations Needed: Wifi Extender/Mesh for Sonicwall Router ->If you can get by with the regular Google Wi-Fi, TP-Link, erro, orbi, ECT.. systems. Great! There reasonably priced and reasonably fast.. Heck, there's nothing wrong with using equipment supplied by your ISP as long as the rental fee is reasonable and it works reliably. In some cases, that's free and there isn't a rental fee. True, someone at the ISP has access to your router if you go with their equipment but I'm honestly never come across that being an issue and over 30 years. It either works and people use it or it doesn't and they get their own equipment. If what they're selling in the big box stores is not going to cut it for you, a pretty reliable alternative would be ubiquiti/unifi. Slightly more complicated to set up but in my experience much more reliable, flexible, powerful, works with a broader range of older devices and newer devices, and you don't need to rely on the cloud unless you really want to. Plenty of YouTube videos and help groups as well. If you want something more complicated or expensive.. I don't think you'd be here posting this in the first place and would already have the answers you're seeking lol.
r/HomeNetworking • What are you thoughts on wifi mesh systems? ->Ubiquiti UniFi APs are rock solid for me.
r/HomeNetworking • What WiFi Setup Should I Use? ->Ceiling mounted APs are best. You're beaming down around things and people. And with wood framing and floors, many times you can cover the floor below with good placement. Unifi has them. Eero seems to be designed to site on a counter, desk, end table or maybe mounted on a wall.
r/HomeNetworking • 5,500 sq ft Home – Eero (Wired Mesh) vs. UniFi APs – Best Setup for Maximum Speeds? ->Just go unifi. Good prosumer stuff. Super extensible. I have everything in my house hardwired but just did my parents place with the cylindrical mesh APs and have been happy with it.
r/HomeNetworking • What are the 'safest' or best (mesh) WiFi routers at the moment? ->Problem 1 you are using the ISP wifi. Those are usually crap and don't allow you to update settings much. Problem 2 the extenders are like mesh in that they are using your own wifi to resend signals. Info to consider: Are you using 5ghz or 2.4ghz signals? Everyone wants the faster 5 ghz but don't consider that these are more affected by walls. If you can use the 2.4ghz your signal will be better. Second you don't want a bunch of your bandwidth eaten up with "back haul" so you need your remote AP(access point) hardwired back to the router. I am a believer in putting the ISP system in passthrough and using your own router/wifi. Option 1 consumer grade. Asus. Get 2 put one at each end of the house. Run a wire between them, one will be your router, the other will be converted to just be an access point. You can set them up in mesh so it's one wifi network and devices can hop as needed. You cannot buy just an AP from Asus, but can get a better and lower cost device. TP link is also good. I avoid everything else. Option 2 Prosumer Get a Ubiquity unifi system. There can be set up simple or go full on and power a football stadium. For home you can get a single unit as the router or one that is router and wifi AP built in, then get a separate dedicated AP for other locations. You can update the AP s as new tech comes out without replacing the working router. GL
r/HomeNetworking • Advice on home setup for better Wifi? ->It's the way to go. I have 4 unifi aps in my house, a couple in the garages, a couple outside. All hardwired though, no lossy meshing. No kids and wife complaining about wifi.
r/Starlink • Mesh System ->Ubiquity is the best way to go. I installed Ubiquity in my home and in 3 family members homes. Has been rock solid for over 7 years now. The range and coverage is very good. I used 2 or APs for a 3,500 sq ft home and 3 for a 5,000 sq ft. Don’t mess with range extenders, total crap.
r/HomeNetworking • What WiFi Setup Should I Use? ->Not needed but I switch to Ubiquiti as wanted vlan support, ability to configure port forwarding and security and all same network equipment as easier to manage
r/HomeNetworking • Wired consumer mesh vs Ubiquiti ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
