    Ditching UniFi but need an alternative

    Thanks - I will give that a go. Unfortunately it will take a few days while I can get my hands on a wired iPerf 3 server again! My Macs don't have ethernet ports.. I wonder if my issues are more down to antenna placement, as I have to mount them on the wall, and fairly low, to avoid trailing...

    Ditching UniFi but need an alternative

    Sorry, on Mac laptops, so 3 antenna machines. Yes, even on a high link rate (never seen 1300, but near enough) I only get about 200mbps or so throughput on iPerf. I know the 1300 isn’t possible due to the medium, but I’d hoped for more. Happy to stand corrected though.

    Ditching UniFi but need an alternative

    Hi We are about to get gigabit each way internet installed where we live. My home network is currently a UniFi Security Gateway and 2 UAP-AC-Pros. I’ve no real issue with the USG, but the single device throughout on the APs is lousy, so I’m going to replace the lot. My plan is to use the ISP...

    Thinking about moving off Unifi - looking for advice

    I *believe* the USG has hardware offload for NAT, and it will achieve ~930 on WAN/LAN so I assumed I'd hood onto that. I'll look into the Mikrotik though! It's really the APs I had assumed would be the bottleneck, though. Happy to be corrected.

    Thinking about moving off Unifi - looking for advice

    Hi For my home network I'm using a pair of Unifi UAP-AC-PRO access points wired to a Unifi Security Gateway as my router. The setup has been great: rock solid, reliable and they look neat. However, to date we've had a lousy 10/1 connection over VDSL. We are about to get upgraded to 1000/1000...

    BT ipv6 settings

    I'd be interested in this too. I had to ditch the HomeHub because it was useless in staying connected.

    Repeater configuration for AC68u

    Hi I have 2 RT-AC68u's. One is the main router, one a media bridge. Ideally, I'd like the second to also act as a wireless repeater. Is it possible for me to set the second router to use the 5Ghz AC channel for backhaul (to get maximum speed for wired clients plugged into the bridge) and the...

    Asus RT-AC68u or RT-AC3200?

    Hi I know the advice seems to be to hold off the 3200 devices for now, but I wanted to explain my scenario and get your opinion. We are about to have fibre internet installed, and can have packages from 50mbps through to 1Gig. This is symmetric, fwiw. Now where the fibre would come in is...

    Asus RT-AC3200 Smart Connect Rules Fine Tuning

    Hi I'm looking at buying one of these, with the hope of being able to get the Smart Connect feature going with some of the suggestions in this thread. However, a deal breaker for me is not being able to manually set the channel(s). Does the Merlin build address this limitation? Many thanks in...
