After some more reading I decided to go with USG since it is the same physical hardware as ERL, but easier to manage with UniFi. Also to save some cash I will host the cloud controller on a Windows Server box I use for File History. I need to cover quite a large area, and my current R7000...

I run the network for my father's small business. I remade it DIY in 2015 with a Netgear R7000, some TP-Link switches and PoE switches, and around 20 IP cameras. I was going to go the Ubiquiti route back then, but I did not feel comfortable with Enterprise equipment. Anyway, everything was...

Got the router yesterday, and it has been rock solid so far. No hiccups or reboots, and I couldn't ask for more from the stock firmware, although I don't have a fiber connection or a lot of networking experience. The upstream QoS is awesome with a 768 Kbps connection. Just hoping it stays this...

OK thanks. OK so if it doesn't affect 2.4 GHz now then it should be fine? Never used 5 GHz before.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll go with the R7000 after all and install DD-WRT if need be. I have a couple other questions though: 1. Does placing the router behind a glass window significantly affect its 5 GHz range? I have an office separated by glass but otherwise with direct line of sight to...

I am redoing a network for my small business. We currently have a DSL router/modem, and the wireless only reaches about half of the store, although it is behind some aluminum sheets and a mess of coax cable (probably 500 feet of it coiled up right there). The ethernet is currently 10/100, and I...
