    Moving into a Home - Where would you deploy UniFi AP's? (attached blueprints)

    Need to extend network cable around 20 feet - Which method should I use? (For PoE access point)

    I got extremely lucky and discovered a Cat5e run in basement crawl space originally used for Telephone. Unfortunately on the end I pulled back (was going to outdoor telephone box) is not long enough to go where I need it to go in the crawl space. However, the other end of the line goes to the...

    AiMesh recommendations for Wired backhaul and 100-200MBPS Internet Connection

    Hey Guys, I took a look at the dongknows AiMesh Router Combos that was updated on April 20th. Now I'm looking for input and opinions here. We got a new house in the poconos (ranch style) and I'm going to need two units based on how wide the house is. Key Points: -Internet connection is...

    UniFi Network Install Complete - Are there optimizations?

    I've finally completed most of my Unifi Network. I have a two floor house + basement. So far I have a NanoHD on the 2nd floor and a AC Mesh outdoor in my back yard. I have the Controller Software on my Server. So far so good. I will be adding a 3rd sometime this week. All are hard-wired...

    General Question: Performance differences between Managed/Unmanaged?

    I'm a dummy and didn't do my full research on pfSense. I got a 4 port i350 NIC thinking I could use the unused card ports as a switch. I then DID my research... and figured out I'd have to bridge ports which equates to a performance loss. I have FiOS Gig (symmetrical), I am a gamer, and...

    At the same pricepoint - Netgear X10 R9000 or RT-AX88U?

    Spent a week doing tons of research on up to date wireless routers. I've concluded to myself I may not be contempt with the current state of Wireless AX draft standard, so spending an arm and a leg doesn't interest me. This is why I picked the AX88U as an alternative option due to the sweet...

    Wireless Router - stay with Netgear or Change? Defects are an issue

    I've been a Netgear exclusive user in my home for over 6 years. I started with the Netgear Nighthawk R7000. Upgraded to the R7800 due to certain feature upgrades. After almost a year, the R7800 lost configuration (factory reset) after every reboot. Ended up RMA'ing this device. Figured I...

    Netgear X4S R7800 - Did I hit a CPU Bottleneck?

    See attached picture. This more of an "out of curiosity" question. Do you guys think I'm hitting a Router CPU bottleneck with the Dual Core 1.7 GHz chip in my R7800 in this scenario? I periodically check the CPU usage out of the blue for craps and giggles since I got my Gig fiber connection...

    Would I get an upgrade in range from a R7800 to an R9000?

    I've had an R7800 for a couple of years now and love it. While I have no real complaints, there are a couple of spots in my house where I wish signal was a tad stronger 5G signal. 2.4G I have no problem with anywhere. Realistically, do the "Active Antennas" in the R9000 make any difference...
