Hi, I guess the reason I’m not looking at those other router software is to keep everything in a single App to make updates changes less of a chore. And looking for a full TP-Link setup because I did a Access Point test comparing the Ubiquiti NanoHD to the EAP245 Power cycle to have them back...

Hi, Thinking on going full with a TP-Link Omada setup. Should I get the ER7206 or ER605? I would also get the OC200 controller, for switch thinking on the SG2008P with the EAP245 V3 access points. In total I would need two switches and two Access points. The second location of course would...

Hi, Is there a WiFi mesh that is easy to use to control kids internet time and only allow a specific webpage with no subscriptions? I saw the Disney circle but it seem is subscription base. Also found the pcwrt WiFi router but no app or mesh. Is there something similar to Disney with a good...

Coxhaus, If I remember correct I did the test with the TP Link AP on 5Ghz. Now that I think about it if it was 5Ghz then is pretty amazing as that usually weak through walls. The Unifi not sure as it was set to the same name for 2 and 5 GHz. I would test more this weekend and report here.

Thanks, Df I would try to do the RF scan this weekend. Yesterday I also received the TP Link EAP 245 V3. And out of the box it have great range it seem on part with the AC86U. So far it seem that the brick wall is the nanoHD range killer. Cause I don’t have Ethernet runs outside just only 1...

Thanks, No contest the Unifi AP feel solid as rock. I think the easy thing to do is run the RF scanner and select the channel with less clients? Or that not a good staring point?

Thanks, That is so true the number of manual configuration is overwhelming and to top that every change take a while while the AP reconfigures the new setting. I just changed the Power from Auto to High. And channel width to VHT80 5Ghz. Headed outside the front porch and got 20Mbps with the...

My house is rectangular I have the ISP router at one end and then have a long Ethernet at the other end. I could have two AP. A third one I don’t have any more Ethernet port anywhere else would be hard. For that I would need Orbi or AiMesh. It was my assumption that being a single unit just...

Thanks, So it seem that it work much better having a controller online. The only thing I have semi On 24/7 is the nvidia Shield. But I imagine that won’t work. Is already being used as the Plex media Server. I feel frustrated with the nanoHD range. So far definitely a downgrade from the ASUS...

Hi, I set it up using the PC as I was not able to connect using the Unifi Network App. As I tried using the App later on it say it was already paired to a controller. The PC I used for the initial setup is not On 24/7 i barely use the PC I don’t have any intention to have a dedicated PC to...

Good read https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2018/08/hardware-acceleration-is-here-for-routers-using-openvpn/ 0 or 1 % CPU usage at 169Mbps so what is the real maximum output they can provide who know so it might be the VPN server the bottle neck.

Not sure if I could tap here or start a new post. But now I’m thinking of something like this. Is there a downside to have 1 box do everything or is better to split the services Like VPN,Smart QoS, Ad blocker, Firewall, Suricata, Squid, Squidguard, Router. From one of those small black boxes...

do they have some type of cap when using the SQM QoS. Considering the Zyxel Armor Z2 and maybe the Ubiquiti Edgerouter 12. Do they both have what you call decent firewall with the basic setup to complicated to get it going.

Thanks all, Just to make sure so the SQM QoS is not exactly router specific more of a firmware/software thing? To get OpenWRT with CAKE on the WiFi router and call it good? So it would be like this: 1- OpenWRT CAKE 2- Merlin on ASUS router 3- Ubiquiti I just found this other router claiming...

I think I been reading to much, I was setup on something then I found out about Smart Queue Management QoS. It seem that the standard is the Nighthawk X4S R7800 for SQM QoS Streamboost Do the ASUS version offer the same? Any specific models? There a lot of streaming in the house up to 6...
