    Circle Replacement

    Yes. I ended up getting a Ubiquiti USG router and put the Comcast router in Bridge mode. That seems to have fixed the issue.

    Advice for 1Gbs/40Mbs Comcast

    Sorry to necro this older thread, but I'm looking at adding my outdoor AP and Amazon has a deal to add the USG to the AP, so I started reading up on the USG and ER's. One thing I found is that if I turn on more than one or two of the USG features, I could sacrifice significant amounts of my 1...

    Circle Replacement

    We've been using the Circle Disney device for several years now to help manage our kids use of the Internet. We have 5 kids at home with at least 2 devices per kid. We recently upgraded to the Comcast 1 gbps service and found out that our old circle was unsupported, so we got a new one. We...

    Outdoor Ubiquiti Offering

    Yes, that makes sense. Is there a setting in the software that tells it to broadcast in a specific direction versus omnidirectional?

    Got it! Going back to your previous post, can you clarify what you meant by this part - "It will omni-direct but better optimize towards directional."

    Outdoor Ubiquiti Offering

    I'm not bridging through exterior walls, at least not wirelessly. I have a CAT6 cable to hook the AP to cover the backyard. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your first paragraph, though. The location is about 12 feet or more from the eve, so it looks like the AC-Pro is definitely out.

    Trip, thanks for the thoughtful response. I have a couple of questions. First, is there a reason the UAP‑AC‑HD didn't make your list? Second, did you recommend the two mesh options because they are really more geared towards outdoor installations?

    Outdoor Ubiquiti Offering

    I've posted some other threads about my inside WiFi network and now it's time to finally do my backyard project. I had the builder run a CAT6 line to the outside of the house, so that is ready to go. I'll be picking up a Gen2CloudKey soon to run my indoor Unifi AP AC Pro and also an AC AP HD...

    Advice for 1Gbs/40Mbs Comcast

    Thanks for chiming in! I'm very interested in getting all the various IoT devices on their own network (VLAN?) as I've wanted to understand better their impact on my network and have some concerns about their security vulnerabilities. Hopefully that is something I can figure out how to...

    Advice for 1Gbs/40Mbs Comcast

    I just used the factory default settings for my test.

    Advice for 1Gbs/40Mbs Comcast

    Besides the form factor, what are the differences between the Nano and Flex devices? I looked on Ubiquiti's site and they seem to have similar technical capabilities.

    Advice for 1Gbs/40Mbs Comcast

    Last week I did do a factory reset, but didn't see any change in performance.

    Advice for 1Gbs/40Mbs Comcast

    I think the WiFi client population is likely pretty distributed, depending on the time of day. If AC Wave 2 is newer than a couple of years, we probably don't have many device capable of that. Probably a couple of laptops and some iPhones. I prefer the out-of-the-box as well. Gen2 CloudKey...

    Advice for 1Gbs/40Mbs Comcast

    They seem to be similar, but the current one is ceiling mounted down in the family room. The 68U is up in my master closet on a shelf. My non-scientific guess is that they are pretty similar. I'd probably need to do an RF survey to know better.

    Advice for 1Gbs/40Mbs Comcast

    @Val D. & @Trip - I'd like to explore this path. What Ubiquiti AP would be a good swap for the 68U? AC-Pro? Also, it looks like the USG doesn't include the cloud key functionality? So, I'd need to get a new AP and the cloud key. Gateway could come later and I just let the Xfi device handle...
