UDM running on Aussie BB 100/40 Plan, working like a charm.
One of these should go very nicely with my edge router 6 in a 14 square house yeh?
Currently using the edge router with a net gear nighthawk r7000 as an access point…
Yeah get the Lite access point.
No point going the More expensive one? (Small price difference)
any ac-pro deals?
Was hoping to get some advice…
I'm currently running a setup with a main Netgear Nighthawk R8000 router (upstairs - on HFC NBN100/40) (on which I do very little now other than static IP's and use the AC wireless) and I also have two other AP's in the house (downstairs) (very old 802.11n units) - all running the same SSID - with gigabit wired backhaul - so lets call this dumb mesh
In the two other locations in the house where I have the other AP's I also have switches (a 16 port gigabit in the first location and a small old 5 port fast ethernet in the second (but I'm also using a few ports on the AP in this location as well)). I have about 50 devices connected to the network (wired + wireless) - I'm also guessing some of my existing wireless stuff actually only works with older 2.4GHz 802.11(bgn?) (I guess worst case I keep an old AP running for them if they won't talk to the new?)
I've been thinking of upgrading and was considering a more modern system which would provide faster and more reliable & seamless wifi coverage all over
So should I go with something like a (3 unit) NetGear Orbi or an Asus AiMesh solution (leaning towards the Asus because I can be more flexible and choose the appropriate unit for the locations - e.g. where I have the current small switch I can just get an Asus router/AP with enough ports to replace the AP & switch) or should I build an Ubiquiti (maybe a UDM plus two of their AP's) based solution
I'm familiar with networking (worked in the space for many years with Cisco, F5, Checkpoint, etc gear) but don't think I need anything particularly complex at home
I might pile in on this as well.
I'm in a similar boat. HFC 100/40 Netgear NH R7000.
I've leaned towards wired connections where I can but I've needed to add an 8 port switch to get enough ports.
Wifi is great for most devices, but something more modular would allow me to move the wifi away from whats probably a sub-optimal location.
Plus a router / switch with more ports. I'm not so sure how the Ubiquiti stuff works, if I need 2 devices or 3 and a controller.FYI I've been reading this ( https://www.evanmccann.net/blog/unifi-ecosystem-overview ) and some subsequent linked pages and it seems to explain it pretty well - i.e.
there's the AmpliFi all in one mesh solution (which is basically the consumer direct competitor to the other consumer mesh systems (Orbi, Google, Deco, eero, etc) out there - but it's simpler, phone app managed only and potentially more limited
then there's the more modular UniFi line (for which you need a UniFi Controller - free to run yourself (Mac/Linux/Win, Docker Container, Raspberry Pi, etc) or a hardware device (like the CloudKey) or it's built in to say the UDM (UniFi Dream Machine) - and you can then add whatever network components you want/need (like AP's, switches, routers, etc)
Have worked in large scale enterprise environment with exposure to same kit you mentioned and then also server/application side etc. I had a tplink vr600v as my router/switch in the garage and then tplink deco m5 dotted in the house as the mesh (with another switch for non wireless devices attached to one of those). It did all i needed but with my increasing concern of the IOT devices i had i was looking at a decent fw. After ummming about this i decided i didnt need a hardcore sophos or fortinet device so went the UDM and couldnt be happier. Currently just have the UDM, grabbing a poe switch from them and another accesspoint and should be sorted for more than i need. Not sure this helps or not?
I have a UAP-AC-LR Dual-Radio Access Point .
Do they have any resale value?
No but I'll consider accepting them, for no charge to you, if you express post it :-)
Thanks OP - just ordered an AC-LR plus a FlexHD plus two of the US-8-60W switches
I'll play with this initially (just extending (wired) off my existing main router) (may try a docker container on my NAS for the UniFi Controller - anyone recommend which one is best?) and will likely get a UDM when a deal comes up for one of those (I assume migrating from the local controller config to the UDM shouldn't be too much of an issue? anyone know if I can import an existing setup into it?)
AC-Lite is $139 at centrecom.
I have the UniFi AP-AC-Pro but it doesn't reach some areas of the house well. Which of the many options available on the Unifi platform would people suggest are best for extending my wifi to those areas?

@Garden gnome: I get between 890 and 930 irrelevant of it being on or off and I have IDS/IPS/DPI all on. To be honest I'm dropping back to my 100/20 plan anyway as it's enough for me.
