In case you know -- is there a way to get into Ubiquiti without having a drop where I need the secondary AP? Today I use an Eero at the cable modem and a second Eero just mounted on the ceiling upstairs with . I'd like to move to something that isn't locked down the way Eero is (and which has a web UI), but I like the whole 'mesh with a dedicated backhaul on a separate channel' thing. My house is constructed in a way that would make running ethernet upstairs not convenient.
- aspenmayer 2y agoYes, Ubiquiti has AP mesh hardware that uses a dedicated backhaul radio, so you can extend the mesh without needing wired backhaul for mesh points.
- banish-m4 2y agoIt's slow as shit though. I had 5x U6-Mesh after ditching the Google/Nest Wi-Fi garbage. Now, I have U6-Enterprise running on PoE on dedicated copper. There's no substitute for the bandwidth afforded by physical media. FS: U6-Mesh for cheap! ;)
- xp84 2y agoCan you define slow as shit? Was it worse than the Google/Nest Wi-Fi things? I am aware ethernet drops would be faster, but I just don't need 1Gbps in my bedroom -- just for the connection to be reliable and of a reasonable speed. My benchmark to beat would be what my Eero mesh thing gets.
