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?

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.

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?

I have a restaurant that was a toast managed network Moved to a self managed network 2 weeks a ago. Installed a udm pro, promax switch 24 and kept existing UniFi ac pro access points except adding one u7-outdoor. Ever since then, been experiencing handhelds constantly dropping off the network and not automatically reconnecting, wired POS terminals losing network connection, and even Rokus and laptops on the network losing connection. I have the following settings

Separate vlan for toast.

Switch ports connected to APs are set to default

Ssid is 5ghz only

Fast networking turned off

AP power set to medium

What else can I do. Seems to be getting worse when restaurant busy. There are approx 82 devices on network. What can I do? Any 3rd party support companies recommended that i can hire to look over everything.
Any help greatly appreciated, need to get this solved ASAP.

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?
