Great article! It would be great to have an update as there are a number of other competitors now and lots of different ap options from each.

I decided to try the Ubiquiti Dream Machine as my Gateway/Router/Controller and it includes an integrated AP. I also ordered a 3-pack of their Flex-mini managed switches to create port vlans to segment my wired network. This should be enough to get things set up and once I determine range on...

@jeff3820 Thank you! I spent the last few hours watching youtube videos to better understand Ubiquiti and the Unifi system after reading your post. On the cloud key controller, I now understand this is optional as you can run their controller software from a PC and is only required to be...

Idesmar, It looks like we have similar goals and some similar existing hardware. Here is the link to my thread. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/references-or-recommendations-for-better-home-network-security.70561/ I have to believe that there must be a growing need for this sort of network...

Here is my current network diagram roughly. I am sure I am missing endpoints, but I have kept as much wired as possible to keep performance as high as possible. Hopefully the diagram helps. Unfortunately, I built the house 20 years ago so I only have a single ethernet pulled to most...

My home network has grown out of control and I want to invest a little time and money to make sure we are getting the best possible performance and also improve security. We usually have 4 to 6 high bandwidth connections (IPTV, Video Conferencing, etc.) and about 60 total connections (PCs VPN'd...

Well I have everything running on. Single SSID with one AP per floor. I have the Asus in the middle as Router and running both 2.4GHz on CH 6 with the turboQAM disabled and 5 Ghz on 40MHz of the high freq. Upstairs I have the Netgear using 5GHz only on the other 40MHz of the high freq. I put my...

Thank you for your responses. I think I will set up my own torture test and experiment with settings for best stability and performance. Good project for the Holidays.

I am starting a new thread since I believe this use case is becoming more common. Note that there may be other continuous parallel high bandwidth applications that would also benefit from this discussion. I have several TiVo DVRs and several TiVo Mini STBs. My family all like different TV...

Hi Thiggins, Any 4 of the below could be simultaneous, with up to 3 of 4 streaming HD Video Simultaneously and the 4th gaming during peak 8pm-10pm. I don't know the radio x stream counts for all my clients. , AC, iPhone6sPlus, Facebook, Email, Gaming, Web , AC, iPhone6, Email, Web *, N...

I know this is a very old post, but I would like to do the same thing as OP asked on my brand new RT-AC68P. I found a link DD-WRT site about how to do this and would like to know if this is possible with Asuswrt-Merlin? http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=89001&highlight=opendns+ssid...

I will look at this router when I get a chance, but based on the OP comment, I am not sure I need to change my current setup. I also just discovered a couple really old (20years) CAT5 cables in my system where I was getting some issues (Tivo to Tivo Mini) and replaced them with new Cat6 cables...

Background: ISP Modem (Bridged) --> Wireless Router 1 --> Wireless Router 2(Dual NAT) Goals, Current Approach: Have both content filtered and non-filtered network access (Family Internet Safety). Wireless Router 1 uses ISP DNS, unfiltered. Wireless Router 2 uses OpenDNS...
