Curious what people here are using for WiFi, as I’m considering upgrading my current system: anything I could wire, I wired for everything else (~20 WiFi devices in a 2-bedroom ground-level apartment + small yard), I use a Linksys WRT1200AC, which I got mainly for its processing prowess (2x1.3 GHz…

Love my Unifi APs. Initially concerned the 2 UAP-AC-PROs in the ceiling (one on each floor) would bug me, but now I love the look of that blue circle :slight_smile: Guess I’ve become a true Ubiquity fan boy.

I have the same as @AZDane but I have so far been too lazy to fix them to the ceiling. One sits on the desk in my study (near centre of house). One sits on top of the kitchen cupboards (about 1.8m high). Has good coverage over the 320 sq m house over 4 levels. There is a dead spot in the upstairs ba…

My son and I both have offices in the basement. The current APs are offset so the basement one also covers the bedrooms above.

Definitely seems like we have a winner and its name is Ubiquiti :slight_smile: I was curious about one more aspect, though: I went thru the apartment this morning running Speedtest from my phone in several areas and it seems like my current router does cover the place OK (100+ Mbps download speeds,…

I live in a 200 sqm house, one floor with thick concrete walls. I use Orbi Pro. One router, one indoor satellite and one outdoor. Backhaul is wired. I have 50+ devices and have never had any problem. It is superfast everywhere. With the new fw update the device limit is 253. Its pricy but I want som…

Personally, I think it’s going to be awhile before WiFi 6 really becomes mainstream and there’s market saturation of devices to take advantage of it. I personally wouldn’t wait around for it, but that is just me. That being said, if you don’t want to build out a full setup yet, two Unifi AP’s wouldn…

I have about 35-40 devices on my wifi, 54m2 (smallish apartment). I hate slow wifi and weak spots (my walls are thick breezeblock which doesn’t help), so I decided to run cat 6 to three points around the house, and placed Google Wifi points at each one. It works perfectly, with a “mesh” network set…

[image] chimpy: even I didn’t like the idea of a power and/or ethernet cable snaking up the wall My AP looks like a smoke detector on the ceiling, and I have it positioned in line with some can lights, so it looks quite natural up there. Ran the cable through the ceiling (no need for power c…

Aha, you’re lucky to have a cavity up there. Mine is solid concrete (apartment life) :frowning:

What do you use for WiFi?

I did not realize until last night, but we all owe Ubiquiti thanks for their contributions to Home Assistant.
