U6-Mesh

People, it's not a downgrade to U6 Mesh. U6 Mesh had 4x4, but, weaker omnidirectional antennas.This one has a dedicated antenna for the wireless backhaul: 5GHz, directional, 10 dBi. The installation instructions show that you have to point the 2 U7 Mesh devices, with the Ubiquiti logo towards each o

I’d hold off and wait for the next generation; in my experience, the U6 mesh is much better than the U7 mesh, and the 4x4 design in the 5 GHz band is still top-notch. The only difference and reason to go with a U7 is if you absolutely have MLO and Wi-Fi 7 devices. 160 MHz bandwidth support works jus

i feel you on the rental struggle. the Cloud Gateway Ultra is a solid pick for what you're describing - it handles vlans easily for isolating those smart lights. for the downstairs connection, you could grab a U6 Mesh which works great wirelessly for now but converts to a wired access point later wh

the dream router 7 works with any ubiquiti ap for meshing. grab a U7 Pro as your node - same generation, full speed. or a U6 Mesh if you want something designed for outdoor/outlet mounting. both will mesh seamlessly. the dr7 can do pppoe directly so you can bypass the att modem. i swapped from asus

ngl that's a solid setup idea. for NLOS at 300 yards with banners in the way, the Ubiquiti Building to Building Bridge would handle it - those things punch through clutter. pair it with a U6 Mesh at each tent for the wifi and ethernet ports. the dual base stations work great with EdgeRouter 12 for f

ran into this with an old brick row house. you dont need a gateway to start - just run the unifi network controller on your proxmox nuc and adopt the aps. your tp link poe switch will power them fine, no ubiquiti switch required. for desktop placement grab a u6 mesh or u7 pro wall - both sit nicely

Not at all. UniFi is great. I have mine covering 3 acres using multiple U6 Mesh, have a few 6 and 7 pros, the in walls, several switches and the UDM Pro on 8gb fiber internet in rural GA. It’s been a fantastic system. My mobile setups are all gl.inet (RV, my wife’s car and my truck plus) plus one I

I'm new to Ubiquiti, but I just made a similar transition to your proposed with no issues. I had modem -> Google router (primary) -> switch -> five other rooms/switches with two Google routers in AP mode (and one Google mesh guy I probably didn't need) I replaced with a Cloud Gateway Max and u6 mesh

MESH just means that the APs are Wireless. As soon as you plug them into a wired network, they are now Wired APs. That is going to give you the BEST results. The fastest Wifi speeds. It's like being next to your router. You say you have Network ports around your place. The easiest thing to do is get

I don't know that Unifi is that much more complex than Amplifi if you are just using the basic features. You just have to get used to using a different management interface. It's just that if you want to get more complex or start adding different kinds of access points or maybe a doorbell cam and su
