This reads like an ad for Unifi, but I don't see it called out as a sponsored post. Would've been better if the post mentioned why he chose that stack from a technical standpoint aside from "sourcing issues" and "seeing the UI showcased at a friends".
- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoYep, I use similar setup, but it hardly seems that unique or interesting from technical perspective. It does feel like an ad.
- farslan 2y agoIt's my personal blog post and I shared what I got, how I configured my Rack, which settings I used for my WLANs, how I use double WAN, the tools, and many other things. At the end, I even shared how much I paid (I live in Turkey, there is no sponsorship here, there is not even a Unifi store). So no, it's not an ad, just my personal experience.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoApologies. It is early and lack of coffee took the best of me. I am not sure if I can delete original comment now, but maybe this exchange will serve as mea culpa.
- farslan 2y agoOP here. It's not an ad at all. There is a lot of stuff there, not just the Rack. I even wrote about Wi-Fi optimization, the tools I used, how much I paid (I mean if it was sponsored, why would I pay for it).
- mahin 2y agoMaybe you could elaborate here: why did you choose Unifi?
- farslan 2y agoI wrote i, the beginning and at the end of my blog post. I love brands that provide quality made products, not just on hardware level, also on software level. I used TP-Link's Omada and it's not even close. Yes there is a premium, but you get for what you pay for. Second, my cameras were dying, I had to replace it, and I had to make a choice. A friend of my who use Unifi cameras was very happy, so I thought that's a good reason to start using Unifi. Anyway, both of these, I wrote in my blog post.

- disposition2 2y agoThanks for sharing! I've been running an EdgeMax router and U6 router for some time without issues, but hope to upgrade to a DreamMachine some day. The information you shared will definitely help when that day comes.
- phoronixrly 2y agoYeah, zero makeshift raspberry pi rat's nests of wires, assigned to do tasks that raspberry pis suck at (networking, or storage, or wifi, or anything else for that matter). How can you even call this a home lab by HN's standards...
- rasse 2y agoJudging by the Vitsœ shelving and the Lego Porsche 911, I'd guess aesthetics played a role in the purchase decision. From a strictly subjective and non-technical point of view, aesthetics is one of Ubiquiti's merits.
- senectus1 2y agono shit, I lol'ed at the "tool that lets you judge the strength of your wifi" thats pure snake oil.
- fragmede 2y agoin what way is that snake oil?
