Is there a dummy-proof guide on how to add secondary WAN on a Cloud Gateway that does not have any additional remappable WAN/LAN ports?

Replace your UniFi Express 7 with a Cloud Gateway Fiber. There's much less hackery with getting secondary WAN support, and your UniFi Express 7 can be reused as an access point. Better yet - the 10Gbps SFP+ ports give you full speed connectivity from the UniFi Pro switch to the Gateway.

What are some good WiFi 6 routers at the moment?

If you're near a Microcenter, this is going to be the best you can get within that budget: https://www.microcenter.com/product/692536/ubiquiti-unifi-dream-router-7-desktop-10g-cloud-gateway-with-integrated-wifi-7,-poe-switch,-microsd-storage Also, if you have coverage issues, the Dream Router 7 is c

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

Wifi Troubleshooter

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

Recommended equipment for dead-simple home network?

That’s probably the best option if you need a couple extra Ethernet ports. You will also need POE injectors for the two APs. UI sells a regular POE injector for $8 which is all you need for the U7 Lite. My only other suggestion would be a UniFi Express 7 which has an AP built in, with 6 GHz, to boot

UniFi Express 7 is pretty much perfect if they want a router built in also.

Lost in the home networking weeds

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 --

Configuration Advice Needed

The idea is to not have to run CAT # (necessarily). I want mesh not hub and spoke. So I’ll likely get a UniFi Express 7 as it has a separate power input? I’m sorry, I’m not well versed in Ubiquiti’s ecosystem. To be blunt, I don’t know what CloudKey, a Cloud Gateway or run the UniFi console mean. I

First time network build

If your flat has FTTP then all you need to do is run an Ethernet cable from the ONT to a cloud gateway so you don’t need the ISP’s router. Which ISP are you using? The UniFi Express 7 contains a built in access point too, that and the Dream Router 7 are the only (current) ones. Don’t look at the old

First time network build

I would (as others have suggested) replace the ISP router with a Cloud Gateway Max or fibre. You’d have to do a bit of research on how this plays with Talk Talk, I have Sky with an Openreach ONT (which has an Ethernet port) and it just worked instantly with no need to change any settings on the devi
