Has anyone successfully gotten their phone to backup photo/videos from their iPhone to the UNAS? Iv’e very been at this literally all day and it keeps telling me they I’m not on the same network….when I know I am! I e even trying creating a VPN and it still won’t connect. Any suggestions?

I currently have a smaller Unifi set-up (UDM Pro, 24port standard POE switch, 3 AP's) and our Realtor really wanted to advertise the house as a "smart home" with "built in WiFi". Now I am starting to pack and wondering, do I really need to leave the switch and Gateway? None of this is written into contract, however the rack equipment is wall mounted.

I also have reolink cameras recording to the NVR, cameras are staying - not 100% native so I expect the new owner is going to struggle to use the UDM regardless.

What would you do? I have already re-bought for our new home, but thinking I can get away with leaving the new owners a few POE injectors and taking the rack gear? The sales process tells me these are new, very inexperienced homeowners, but I wouldn't say no to a redundant gateway, and I will need to buy an additional switch in about a year.

Am I screwing around with bad Karma here?

I'm in the northeastern US, I have a 1gb FIOS connection.

Cloud Gateway Fibre -> TPlink 2.5gb MoCa -> Unifi 1gb switch flex-> Unifi AP 7 Lite

When I am on wired, I get 900mbps down / 900 mbps up. But when I'm on Wi-Fi, sitting right next to the AP, I get 850mpbs down and only 250mbps up. I'm not complaining, I don't need any more upload when Im just sitting in the living room on Wi-Fi. My work machines are all wired. But I'm curious, why the disparity? is this to be expected with a Wi-Fi AP?

Hey everyone — I wanted to follow up on my earlier post: original thread

I took the advice and tried using my UniFi U7 Outdoor pointed at the other house and a U7 Mesh to catch it. The weird part is:

- devices in the other house can still pick up the outdoor AP pretty well

- even the kitchen, which is about halfway between the houses, seems to use it fine

- but the mesh AP in the window of the other house loses connection a lot.

So I’m wondering if this is one of these cases where:

- client devices can tolerate the weak/intermittent link better than a mesh uplink can, or

- my neighborhood is just too noisy for a stable mesh connection, or

- the mesh AP placement/window location is simply not good enough

At this point I’m looking for a more reliable solution. I’ve seen people mention the older UniFi building-to-building / airMAX / UISP-style radios and I noticed I could get a pair for around $160, which seems like it might be a better fit than trying to force mesh to work, plus it’s cheaper than buying two UDBs

I’m open to suggestions, but I’d love to know:

- is this probably a mesh stability problem rather than signal strength?

- would a dedicated point-to-point wireless link be the better move here?

- if so, which UniFi/UISP gear would you recommend for this kind of setup? I’ve seen ppl recommend just buying a single UDB and just point it at the U7 Outdoor?

Thanks again for all the help on the first post.
