UniFi Express 7

I'm currently in Disney world with my family and I've used the UTR for the kids as they have lots of devices and also for our apple TV. Initial thoughts after 2 nights with it... Range is very limited. We have conjoining rooms and the second one of the kids goes in the next room with their tablet, i

The UTR is not designed to be a speed demon. It's designed to be very compact and reasonably affordable and provide turnkey access to your Unifi network (and other travel router benefits). Those are the things it's good at. For starters, it only has WiFi 5 and it's compact form factor will certainly

Could it work, yes. I have been using the UTR a lot while my wife has been hospitalized / undergoing outpatient treatment over the past couple months, including the last 31 days straight and a 3-night inpatient stay this week.

Tailscale is much easier to deploy. Just set your home server as an exit node and you’re good to go. Otherwise, some free alternatives

Mesh is all wireless access points. You don't have to buy a "mesh system" in the way you are thinking. Ubiquiti and UniFi are mentioned. I will throw GLinet into the mix. The interface is easier. Cheaper price points. When you travel take one of the GLinet routers. Throw it in your bag. Connect it t

Sure, I meant if you want the "seamless" experience this offers, Tailscale is basically a 1:1. But it's not as simple, I will admit. I'm guessing they skipped WiFi 6 because this is an older, cheaper chipset. In terms of a connection, this is a travel router. A lot of people connect their travel rou

I gave plenty of use cases in my other comment for travel-related or on-the-go applications to have WiFi 6 or 2.5gbps, no need to hyperfixate on the fact I like to connect my travel router as an AP on my home network, too, from time to time. Connecting a travel NAS to a travel router is the most obv
