    Omada device choice

    Just saw the UniFi Express, which basically costs the same as the ER706W, and is as far as I understand router, cloud controller and AP. I understand it is much less powerful then the Cloud Gateway Ultra, but could it be enough for me? I would still need an additional switch, but I guess an...

    Omada device choice

    Of course, a single unit is no system, but I guess it can be the base of one, right? As said, I plan to add a few more AP. But in the end this will stay a small, easy setup, not comparable with many business networks. The main advantage I can see for now in the Ubiquity system is the easier...

    Omada device choice

    Absolutely, that's why I am asking. I will read more about it. Of course the question is if I need these additional features.

    Omada device choice

    Why would you prefer Ubiquity? It seems (at least here) quite a it more expensive... The Cloud Gateway Ultra is CAD $190, and I would still need an AP, e.g. U6+ which is CAD 146. So in sum, if using the Omada free cloud or SW controller instead of OC200, this is nearly twice the price of a ER706W...

    Omada device choice

    Since I found in on reddit ( ) a comment: "ER706W is much more powerful than ER605. ..wifi is much better than most EAP access points, very good speed and range." I read through the actual technical specs, and yes, beside the wifi and the one ethernet port more, the throughput of the ER706W...

    Omada device choice

    Hi! As mentioned in an earlier thread (https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-aimesh-vs-eero.90766/), I want to replace my current, temporary Eero 6 I got from my provider with an Omada setup. Earlier I used an Asus RT-AC68U, which is now out of support and showed some problems (I guess a reset...

    Asus AiMesh vs eero

    Actually, just found out that my old Asus had a bit better wifi range then the eero. Not by much, but one room which was ok covered before isn't now. And yes, RMinNJ, I feel the same. I'll check out Black Friday offerings soon I guess...

    Asus AiMesh vs eero

    Sure, the OC200 is on my list in case I go the Omada route, but I see I can run the management software also by myself, e.g. on a Raspberry Pi (have already some and I am sure I can add it to one of them, they are not hard working...), or the new free cloud controller ("Cloud Essentials"). All...

    Asus AiMesh vs eero

    A mixed bag... After very briefly testing them in paralell (eero in bridge mode) to see how the eero's wifi range is, I just used my old Asus RT-AC68U. But a few weeks ago, it suddenly had drops, multiple times per day for 1-5min, which seemed odd. I first blamed the ISP, but I guess it was the...

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51685 (2024/04/15)

    My RT-AC68U got 3.0.0.4.386_51685 (2024/04/15) through auto updates, not sure when.

    Asus AiMesh vs eero

    Yes, you are absolutely right, no crazy performance required. But don't underestimate my tinkering, as said, I used (on very old routers) already Gargoyle and Tomato, had set up for work a tiny Ubiquity Unifi system, and am familiar with Linux setups (not expert, but long years user), including...

    Asus AiMesh vs eero

    Thanks, will try the eero. I just found here that my router is since March EoL, but it is still going strong. But yes, I guess EoL means I'd get no security updates anymore and should look slowly for an update. Beside the coverage which I would (minimal) more, this thing was/is working really...

    Asus AiMesh vs eero

    Thanks for your answer! Yes, I guess I will do some tests switching back and forward in between the two routers. I read some more about the Eero (very mixed: on one side: easy and reliable, on the other side limited functions, not crazy fast (I don't need crazy fast though with the 120 Mbit/s...

    Asus AiMesh vs eero

    Hi! I have a Asus RT-AC68U running since maybe 8 years, and now changing providers I get for free an eero 6. We have a 3 stories house which should be covered with wifi: We live downstairs where the router is (and will be) installed pretty central. Upstairs are tenants and we share internet...

    Problems with Linksys EA8300

    Thanks, that's what I was thinking. And yes, the E1200 is used as a switch only since the Unify access point does not have Ethernet ports (I need at least one for our VOIP system). Looking at the Unify EdgeRouters, which do you think would fit for our size (lets say 30 devices, 10 users most...
