Depends on whether you have a Mac or PC. 1. You probably want to stay away from DisplayLink (not display port) technology. 2. If you want…

Cheap AliExpress junk advertised as deal once again

This is a fake discount on cheap junk from AliExpress and seller uses OzBargain for free advertising

According to spec it comes with 6x PoE ports (15 watts per port, good for a camera) and 2x PoE+ ports (30 watts per port, good for AP).

You can use line inputs or USB

I agree, that most wifi 5 devices released in the past 5 years get around 500 Mbps in real-life. Some laptops go faster, but you need good…

It has a single 1 Gbps port that is not enough for Wifi 6. Consider something cheaper if you do not care about speed too much or something…

VPNs seem to be very popular. What do you use them for outside of watching netflix from another region and/or torrenting?

pfsense (or any other open source firewall) is a great choice. Ceiling is a the best spot to put APs, but attic may be too hot for them. A…

If you are in IT, buy second hand enterprise equipment, otherwise buy a zero setup "mesh" thingy that supports ethernet backend. More than…

> These are a completely different class of AP - they cost significantly more than the Ubiquiti, and they're designed for larger scale…

Gotcha. Agree, maybe instead of good wifi 5 APs, I should have said some, best or enterprise.

So we went from "wifi can't deliver speeds over 1Gbps" to "nobody needs it anyway". This AP is a product for enthusiasts, the 0.001% you…

Those are very different devices. Try to read a comparison of pfsense vs udm. Most of the things said about pfsense router would apply to…

Enterprise does not mean fast or good. A lot of Cisco routers that costs thousands cannot perform a simple NAT (like your router at home)…

You can expect to have 2x GbE ports on all Wifi 5 Wave 2 APs from major vendors. For example Cisco 1800, 2800 and 3800 series, Aruba (aka…

You need PoE+ to power most modern APs (e.g. U6-LR that is in this deal). Regular PoE is only good for older and/or weaker APs or security…

Agree, but we are starting to get closer. Maybe Wifi 6 Wave 2 is when we gonna get real over 1Gbps speeds :)

A detached house or whole floor in the office tower is usually enough to get a pretty good wifi. According to some reports consumer Wifi 6…

WiFi 5 can deliver more than 1Gbps throughout. https://miercom.com/pdf/reports/20160830.pdf

It still has a single 1Gbps port. Even good wifi 5 APs needed more than that. https://dl.ui.com/ds/u6-lr_ds.pdf

All good, you seem to enjoy tinkering with it and it all works :). Happy days

I am not very familiar with ubiquity gear and problems with roaming is something that people often talk over the beers. It seems that you…

That is a lot of work to manually tune the setup. Does ubiquity still lack support of client roaming from one AP to another with a channel…

This is a logical fallacy. A healthy person does not need to insert anything in their ears including qtips. If you have problems, go see a…

Sure, if you have a problem go see a doctor and use what he recommends.

Just don't. Ears are self-cleaning and earwax works its way out of your ear naturally and you can use 10 fingers to finish the job.

You are paying a fair bit for 4 Control+ motors. Review:…

Type any product in google and you will find stories of it failing just outside of warranty

How would extended warranty help you with firmware issues? If bugs in firmware affect your usecase, just go and buy another tv. There is no…
