U6-Mesh

If you can get Ethernet to other parts of your home I have had great luck with U6 long range and a U6 Mesh Pro for the outside coverage. If you have a floor plan you can ask on the Ubiquiti subreddit for planning help. They do have a mesh mode but the speeds are around 200mbps for me. I need to run

plaster and lathe is brutal for wifi - those walls kill 5ghz fast. the u6 pro is fine but you might want the u6 long range instead since it has better penetration through dense materials. also consider mixing in a couple u6 mesh units for hallways. three to four aps sounds right but spread them out

Consider that your closed cupboard are part of the issue - wifi doesn't go through things well. But... You don't need mesh if you can use ethernet. So yeah, Ubiquiti UniFi. Since you have ethernet available for wiring the APs, this is the way to go. I'd suggest a UniFI Dream Router 7 and whatever AP

My 2.4 GHz internet of things was grinding my network to a halt. Bought a U7, same problem. Put all the 2.4 GHz traffic on my old U6 mesh, problem solved. I certainly wouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water. I’m certain you haven’t found the configuration that meets your needs. If you want a

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

i'd go with the udr7 plus two u6 mesh units personally. the u6 mesh pros are designed exactly for shelf/table placement - that redbull can shape works great sitting out. the ux7s are nice but you lose some range without hardwire backhaul in mesh mode. for 2100 sq ft on two floors, udr7 on main floor

It does NOT have dedicated backhaul. Both U6 and U7 mesh are both erroneously named. They are simply APs just like any other. They are waterproof. U6 only has 1Gb uplink. 4x4 MIMO 5GHz on the U6 provides incredibly minimal performance improvement over a 2x2 AP unless there are clients with 4x4 radio

i feel you on the spotty outdoor signal. had a similar issue with my backyard setup last summer. you could grab a Ubiquiti U6 Mesh and mount it just inside the sunroom near a window - it's weather-resistant enough for covered outdoor spaces. the U6 Mesh will mesh wirelessly with your U7 Pro XGs and

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

So I would first look at the modem/router that your internet company gave. It might be old. If you are renting from them, ask them to upgrade it. Then look at anything connected to the modem/router. If you have a mesh system connected you might need to upgrade to something newer. I’d recommend the U
