Cloud Gateway Ultra

OP, you may be misunderstanding the advice. You should not get the all-in-one Unifi Dream Router. You should get a Unifi Gateway, connect it to a small Unifi Lite Switch and then connect the switch to two or more PoE powered WiFi 7 wireless APs plus any Ethernet drops to fixed devices. EDIT: The cor

Do you want a unit with built-in WiFi AP or do you want that to be separate as well? I assume you mean Dream Router 7 (not Dreamer 7)? It is an all-in-one unit like your Asus RT-86U. I took the separate devices for each function approach with the Cloud Gateway Ultra (has a Gigabit 4-port switch), Po

Ubiquiti (one of the 3 current cloud gateways depending on the ports and performance you need) along with one or more of their APs is a very good setup and very reasonably priced. If you need to go beyond what those support, they have higher end devices with more 10G ports and performance, but the p

The correct architecture is cable/fiber modem (from provider) > Gateway > PoE Switch > PoE powered WAPs and Ethernet jacks. As has been said, Ethernet to everything except mobile devices.

It works fine and I was able to use a local login and import the backup from the old controller for all the network settings. Prett

I would personally get the Cloud Gateway Max and a U7 Lite AP and the POE injector. In the UK its only £100 difference between the UCG-Max (no storage) and the UCG-Ultra, but looking at that site its a crazy difference in price for you Australians or that site is just a rip off. If you get the UCG M

USG/UXG have always been crappy underpowered devices, the current Cloud Gateways are perfectly fine and you'll get rid of Cloudkey or whatever device you're running your controller on https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cloud-gateways-compact/products/ucg-ultra or add $70 and you'll get 2.5G & an op

Yeah. Model should be UX I believe. That will act as 3 things: your router, a wifi access point, and run the Unifi Network software. If you're unfamiliar with Ubiquiti/Unifi stuff, basically you can just plug in the APs to an existing network, but in order to do the meshing and fast roaming stuff th
