The funny thing is that I have a UDMP on the way, because one of my APs died and I figured it was time to upgrade the network a bit, but now I'm refusing delivery and sending it back for a full refund.
- jonpurdy 6y agoI was considering replacing my AP AC Lite with whatever 6E equivalent comes out when 6E is approved. I considered picking up a NanoHD for the extra MIMO speeds, but in the meantime I keep seeing problems with reliability, the 6.x Unifi version, UDM needing to be rebooted, etc. Even if Ubiquiti was as good as it was pre-2019, if they pulled this advertising stunt then I'd not consider upgrading. There's now no chance I'll be sticking with Ubiquiti for my 6E upgrade.
- anyfoo 6y agoMy nanoHD reboots frequently with current firmware. Sometimes it needs readoption, sometimes a manual reset to be readopted. The AP AC Pro seems less affected.
- jonpurdy 6y agoThanks for that input. My AP AC Lite has been absolutely rock solid so I wouldn't want reduced reliability; it's the reason I went with Unifi in the first place. Not that it matters; no chance I'll be going with Unifi in the future.
- anyfoo 6y agoYeah, and thanks to your comment it actually got me thinking that I can (at least temporarily) mitigate my current situation by taking the nanoHD out of the loop entirely, as I do have another spare AP AC Pro in my closet. I also got the nanoHD because of extra MIMO speed (among other things, it's feeding my home office setup wirelessly), but the egregious loss in stability is not worth it.
- vetinari 6y agoDowngrade your nanoHD back to 4.x firmware. That way you get to keep your MIMO speed with stable device, you will only lose WPA3 support (if you use it, it is a new thing in the latest controller).
- greg5green 6y agoMy FlexHD is perfect on my USG, so ymmv.
- hderms 6y agoI was on the fence about buying some ubiquiti stuff. Now there's little chance. Do you have any recommendations for competing products?
