    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    I mean, mine are pretty much in the same place I had my Asus router and my Asus AP and the signal seems to be pretty much the same, and In some cases, a little better. That's with them both sat, dome up. Roughly 3 or 4 feet off the floor.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I don't think I have professional installer ticked, so that's, probably why. Something to play with at some point!

    Ooo, no I didn't know actually! That's good to know. I'll leave it for the time being with low and high. I can't put myself through anymore 'tinkering'... Yet! Haha

    Pretty much how I'm setup. One AP at each side of the house. 2.4/low/20. 5/high/80. Different channels on each AP.

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    The weather here in the last week or so has been warm, warmer than usual. Low 30c's, humid etc, so it could well be that . I have the Pro sat on a stand that roughly 4 foot high, no metal mounting backplate. Not sure which way the it should face, as in, which part of the U6 Pro is stronger...

    Nope. Nothings really changed, except the weather!

    The U6 Pro is probably 6/7 feet closer to the camera/shed than the Asus was

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    What I will say is that the 2.4ghz on the U6 Pro doesn't seem as good as it did on the Asus AX86S. We've got a small camera in the shed and with the U6 Pro set to 20mhz and low. It struggles to maintain a connection even though it's usually in the 70-75dbm-ish range. Tried changing to medium...

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    Erm. I think so yeah. I like Being able to easily add/remove access points as and when needed is handy The amount of information available - but at the same time I can see it being overwhelming and feeling the need to chase 'perfection' The general flexibility of it all in terms of features...

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    Well what I will say is that with all the logging and detail that the Unifi system shows, I think I've managed to find a phone that has some sort of WIFI defect. Every other device seems to roam fine between the two points, this one likes to hang on to -86dBm. WIFI Speeds on it are all over the...

    It'd be overkill I think. The RP-AX58 was a 2x2 on both bands, it worked fine for what it needed to do. The U6-Pro is £65 more expensive too - and a lot bigger!

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    I had been looking at dropping the 5Ghz down to 40MHz actually, seen a few comments on reddit etc where they advise to do this. Which has led me to.... Grab a U6+ to for the upstairs! This will effectively replace the RP-AX58 and sit in the same spot. I can just about get a 5Ghz coverage in...

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    Yep, it's weird. The WiFi Man app can easily hit 800 on the speed test, but I believe that local speed and not an actual speed test using external internet? Which means, the internal setup is correct and working as intended, I guess!

    Couple of findings, purely through testing and being curious Samsung S23 on the old setup, could reach 600-800 pretty much all the time from a few feet away from the Wireless AP. Just tried the same thing with the U6 Pro and its 500-600. Not sure if this is normal, or something needs to be changed?
