Yeah, that is another thing. Guess I won't know for sure until I fire it up. Maybe I wont permanently run wiring until I find a good spot and my speedtests around the house are as good as can be

My router/firewall (UniFi Dream Machine SE) will most likely not be near the computer corner because I don't know if it will stay a computer corner in future. Router will most likely be hidden in one of the Living Room corners on the right hand side (possibly behind corner of couches, or a wall...

Within the next 2 months I will be moving into a home (from a townhouse condo). The home was built just before the year 1950 and has 1925 Sq/ft. Attached are the Blueprints (there is no Basement). I currently have a UniFi 6 LR-AP and a UniFi Access Point AC Mesh. Planning to work with what I...

I wish, But the previous owner used some sort of insulation foam around the edges in basement. The wire goes through that foam. I tried pulling/wiggling it to no avail

It is an unfinished basement and not open to outside air. There's actually a huge dehumidifier in there (also a heater that kicks on if it gets too cold). It's probably better humidity controlled then a normal room, haha.

I got extremely lucky and discovered a Cat5e run in basement crawl space originally used for Telephone. Unfortunately on the end I pulled back (was going to outdoor telephone box) is not long enough to go where I need it to go in the crawl space. However, the other end of the line goes to the...

Yeah, at this point I'm leaning towards a Dream Machine + Extra AP, or a PfSense Box + two AP's. Unifi has been rock solid for me, but it's more of a time constraint at this point when I'm at the cottage. AiMesh I could probably set up and configure within 20 minutes give or take...

I agree. I like to hear both sides and look into my own facts. Funny you mention. My first thought I was thinking of doing another UniFi system. Considering I want to upgrade my every-day home's NanoHD to a U6-LR, and I could bring the NanoHD up to the pocono house... I originally thought...

Thanks guys.

Hey Guys, I took a look at the dongknows AiMesh Router Combos that was updated on April 20th. Now I'm looking for input and opinions here. We got a new house in the poconos (ranch style) and I'm going to need two units based on how wide the house is. Key Points: -Internet connection is...

I've finally completed most of my Unifi Network. I have a two floor house + basement. So far I have a NanoHD on the 2nd floor and a AC Mesh outdoor in my back yard. I have the Controller Software on my Server. So far so good. I will be adding a 3rd sometime this week. All are hard-wired...

Gotcha. I'd say the Ubiquiti's are a lot easier to set up than Cisco though, no? One of the reasons why I'd prefer it over a Cisco WAP. Plus, I don't have a Cisco controller either. Would I need an additional controller for the Ubiquiti?

May be a stupid question but... Do you know if I Can I use AI Mesh if all of the Asus devices are all in Access Point mode, or does one of them need to be in Router mode (as the primary)? I ask because I’m sort of finalizing my setup. I have my pfSense router and TP Link switch. Im deciding on...

I did a couple hours comparing switches last night. For me, It seems like all paths lead to the SG108E regardless. The price is a no brainer, I can use it as an unmanaged switch, while having the ability of the extra managed features. Plus, the 8 port is only $5 more than the 5 Port. I...

Haha that was a perfect explanation! Thank you!
