WOW! Thank you for taking the time to post this info, it really motivates me to find these. They look great, nice interface and tools. I found a Canadian reseller that had 7 in stock, and by the time I was home and able to sit down and order them, they were out again.

Thanks for the update and info. I’ll keep looking for the 2.4 units. Very interested to hear your experience. The good news is soon I can move the router out to the garage and greatly improve the signal. Buys me 5 months to find a paired set, before next winter.

Update: airMAX NanoBeam 2AC 13 dBi Station This produce is not presently listed on the Canadian ubiquiti website. I called a local computer shop and they let me know it was a special order item. Pay up front, 2-4 weeks delivery, final sale. This is much less agreeable that buying directly...

Thanks everyone, this generated some very good conversation: Eric the Yellow I did try a Yagi antenna as one of the very fist iterations, I only bought one, and given physical constraints abandoned this and gave it to a farmer friend. tgl I will watch your update closely, I think that...

Thanks for your reply, corrected to read ac68u. Canada.

I was note entirely sure where to put this, please excuse if in an incorrect forum. Thanks in advance. Request: Suggestions on a wireless bridge between two homes Caveat: I appreciate that this is a case study in suboptimal setup, it is limited by physical constraints. I appreciate that...

Update: this has been working very well. Improved overall link rate now running very consistently at: Link rate: 192.5 Mbps. Previously it was fluctuating a great deal. Marked as solved.

Hi, this project is really great, thanks for everyone that has participated in making it both fun to use and excellent. RT-AC68U HW A2 quirk in media bridge mode. GUI shows 5GHz when connected to 2.4GHz, frequent pauses and long ping times. Solution: I had some time and worked backwards...

Thanks, you have all given me lots to consider. I will read up on this and report back.

This was a very good point - can my NAS saturate an upgraded network. I have all my large files on the NAS and use my desktop largely as a terminal. In addition, I keep my virtual drives on the NAS.

Thank you for your reply, both with the technical side and the voice of reason. Sometimes can it be done is the motivator rather than should it be done. I believe my NAS can put out enough data to make the upgrade reasonable. I will cost it out from parts reccomended here and see if the cost...

Hello, Simple question to start, I am a bit out of my depth with the detail of some articles. Goal: Setup 2.5 G LAN. Present HW: GT-AX 6000 (on super sale). Good quality 5e LAN cables in the walls, distances <30 feet, some <5 feet. I acknowledge cables may limit success/speeds. If I...

Depending on what you want the wifi for in the barn, your build may vary. Most reliable solution is to run a LAN cable if possible. Close enough - Aimesh. Too far, see below. I have this build, it works, though very suboptimal given encumbrances of where I was able to put the router and...

It is a mix of all sorts of devices - linux, windows, apple.

- ISP router is in bridge mode. Then I reinstalled all the firmware on the routers and redid the configuration from factory defaults. - yes. - It seems my NAS did not log an error message that the intranet went down. - so obvious, I can't believe I omitted this step. Done. - The ISP router...
