UniFi Express 7 Cloud Gateway

It's been great. There was one issue with a firmware and I was notified by ubiquiti. I already patched the issue so no biggie. Once you get into the ubiquiti/unifi ecosystem it's really easy to get the best equipment and never need to change anything for 10 years. I have my router bridged from a Com

Could always look into a Ubiquiti setup. As a newbie to the home networking world, I got a UniFi Express 7 and love it for my apartment. Did take a couple hours to dial in the settings tho. Dream Router 7 or Cloud Gateway paired with other APs might be more suited to your use, since they have more p

Update to U6 Mesh or U7 Mesh. I was previously running original UniFi express and the speeds and coverage were poor. I was able to pickup a U6 Mesh and now my whole home is covered with just two access points whereas before I had 3 UniFi Express and it wasn’t enough Also the U6/U7 Mesh is optimized

I came from using a Synology RT2600AC in a little larger single floor house. I think it actually provided slightly better coverage than my U7 Pro. I don't know how the 560 compares but you may not be gaining anything coverage wise with the switch if you plan on only one AP and may actually lose. It'

Get a real router instead of the bargain-bin your ISP provided you with. Had the same issue with my Aqara (inside, 3m from the router/access point; constantly offline) — switched to a Gomme Home router and it improved.

Hubs: Use the ZBT2 or whatever Zigbee dongle you'll be using for Zigbee only and get a Nest Hub Max for Thread. Better yet, get a POE Zigbee coordinator for better stability. Switches: Just use regular smart switches... Climate: Avoid Tado and there lack of consumer respect and go with Drayton Wiser

There's a little bit to unpack here...... You are not technically using a "wifi provider". You are using an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that is providing you with a device that has Wifi capabilities (ie. router, wireless gateway, access point, etc..) Where I work, we've had a handful of customer

Well let me ask you this, what is your internet plan speeds and how big is your living area? Are you in a house? Both of these are just objective overkill for throwing money to throw money. You could very well for that price get a Ubiquiti UniFi Express and run ethernet from it to a U7 Pro access po

Absolutely yes - I’ve got Virgin Gig1 and also getting Aquiss as well, will keep the Virgin as a backup setup. I’ve got the Cloud Gateway Fire and UniFi Express 7 - latter provides wireless and also 2 of the Mini Switches. Love tinkering so this setup is great and it can become expensive too, if you

I like to upgrade with UniFi hardware I bought a newer Orbi system. Uh. So, you went Orbi? Mesh is normally not a great way to connect (ethernet is significantly better), but given you're only getting 60Mbps it's probably more than enough. Multi-hop is going to probably cause a lot of challenges --
