Thank you so much! Wish I had seen this sooner. It’s difficult to understand how all of the ubiquity devices fit together and this was the best explanation I’ve seen so far.
I am at nearly the bottom of monthly income. But one of the things i need for my disability is a home network. Im fixing its problems now. Most of my routers and switches and cabling comes from goodwill. I have N networking, and 10/100 cabling. But it works fine most of the time. Even with 2 or 3 guests at once, i really see no congestion so far. The only thing i discovered is i must have multiple routers to be reliable.
This is a great walkthrough. We are in escrow on a pretty sprawling home (3000sq ft single story). I bought 2 Wifi 6 LR's and really hope that does the trick. I may add 2 of the in-walls at some point too, if needed. Thanks for this detailed walkthrough!
Awesome devices, great 101 on Unifi! I used multiple 48 port 500watt POE switches (stacked with SFP+ and 10gb Gbic's) , the older but powerfull XG server to manage all devices from one main location, and UAP Pro's for corporate use for aproximatly 40 locations. Also the client wanted to have multiple Vlan's, port mirroring (the Cisco SPAN port), Polycom Voip phones and a guest environment for ther customers. In conclusion: The company wanted first to invest $150.000 for Cisco switches + Cisco Meraki which isnt manageble for everyone, and since Unifi is affordable and 10 times easier to implement. Less waste of time and on the otherhand they didn't waste a shocking $100.000 in hardware. The warrenty/licenses where 1/5 of the total price that should have been added. Unifi is absolute whipping the floor with the compettitors!
its such a good point that nobody talks about, what router and network stuff should you use when you have gig internet and want to get your full speeds!!
it will not only be simple and secure to set up but also easy for the customer to manage rather than needing enterprise level when they are scared that they did something wrong every time the power is cut out, it just goes through the boot sequence and chugs along just like the standard modems that is sent out to home users with new ISP's which is quite helpful when you're wanting references.
Ive been catching a lot of flack for wanting a UDM-Pro, because its apparently very buggy and unstable, some even going as far as calling it a Nightmaremachine. Though in your video you said software updates have alleviated problems a bit. So 5 months later, what is your opinion on this device?
I am currently running a Ubiquiti system I do not have the dream machine pro didn't even know it exists definitely about to look into that and eager to give my brother in my dream machine that I have now your video really brought it all together for me as a new person understanding their stuff and I swear by Ubiquiti products as well it just made my home and my life in the Internet space and Wi-Fi 100% I look forward to looking at more of your videos and supporting your Channel
I run my UniFi Controller on Vultr very cheap and great hardware located in my country and all over the US and other countries. I install and monitor over 50+ hotel rooms and clients who have Ubiquiti hardware
Thanks for video. My experience for novice user setting up UDM Pro can be a little tricky and down right painful for some. I was lucky where my ISP modem had no issues providing internet access to UDM Pro. However I had issues adopting my past UniFi equipment. I had to do a restore from old backup. . Also I heard many users having issues with updates. be sure to disable updates. you don't want to wake up one day and everything is down. I setup some WiFi 6 lite access points. so far so good very reliable. make backups and keep a log of what changes you make.
@@Ky-vv8nj Pretty well. There was one hang up though. The very first time I turned everything on, it gave me an error and the information was leading me to download the firmware via a different internet connection and installing that. Fortunately I just decided to try unplugging and restarting everything and that worked. It’s a pretty nice setup overall.
Informative video. The only point I would contest is 4:23. Wi-Fi 6 isn't only important for internet access speeds but also for communication between devices on the same network. A good example would be someone running a Plex server and streaming high bitrate (50Mbps+) video to multiple Wi-Fi devices. One of those streams is hard enough for 802.11ac to handle. Add a second stream and you'll watch your streams come to a grinding hault. 802.11ax, while not perfect, handles this scenario much better.
Nice vid! I run a "regular" dream machine. Love it! Though my newly build house is killing WiFi like a madman, have to put up access points literally on every floor and might add a second on the main floor. Nothing negative about Ubiquiti, all neighbors with regular ISP modems are barely sending signal to this house.
I’m running 2 UniFi AC Pros one in my bed room and one is in my dining room, Ik also running 2 UniFi 8port Poe switches, one is upstairs in my room, and I have one in my basement running internet through out my house
I would like to add that wifi 6 has benefits outside of higher transfer speeds, such as more efficiently improvements in data transfer and power consumption. Which could show improvements in your utility bill and increase battery life of portable devices that use the WiFi, also better high client management, which will come in handy if you plan to have lots of smart home tech, which most devices will use the WiFi
Then explain to me why the hell my Wi-Fi 6 APs get so damn hot! 😂😂 (I know it has other improvements but those really aren’t anything to write home about for a home user with maybe 2 or 3 access points.)
@@MillerTechnicalServices Simple home user with an office needing AP in the house. If I purchase the Switch 8 PoE (150w) and 2x Access Point WiFi 6 Pro...from my business class cable modem can I plug the WAN in one of the 8 ports so that when the APs are plugged in the other ports they get an IP address? Or, do I still need to use my business modem to my Netgear router and router to the switch for the AP to work and get IPs?
I live in a two story home as well but it’s concrete walls with rebar in them and it sucks for signal penetration. Had to run 4 access points to get complete coverage in the home 😯
Thanks for that video! Maybe you can show us the "best practise" for split/isolate networks for eg. cables which go out of the house...maybe for some cams or something else. Use case could be: Cam outside of the house, you will secure this "cable" but have also access to this device from your private network or mobile app. That would be awesome :-) Thanks !
WiFi-6 will not only make a difference in the maximum speed but also a solution in interferance with other WiFi networks nearby and the throughput for multiple users on the same accesspoint by the use of MU-MIMO and OFDMA. So WiFi-6 will make the difference, but you will need to have WiFi-6 capable devices.
Good video... also a suggestion if you would include all the models that you use on the short description would be helpful for users that are researching on what to buy or use...
Fascinating, however, I'm in the UK and it's May 2022, electricity prices are through the roof and I am looking to avoid plugging in more devices than I need 😅
I've just bought a UDM Pro, then they announced in Early Access the UDM Pro SE which has 8 ports of PoE+... Either way I'm very happy with how the UDM works and I'm still in the process of building the rest of the network and setup up VLANs etc...
Awesome video as always! You always provide great content!! Question how do you download the controller software to a pc ? I went to the ubiquity site but I can’t find the download. Thanks in advance!!
Great work. Definitely the best video on the set up of unifi system I have ever found in UA-cam. I am not a tech guy and it would be good if you can explain more on the set up of the guest network and the relevant firewall. Completely no idea of the importance of it. Moreover, with the cloud set up function through desktop computer, is it I can edit the setting of system in New York while I am physically in Chicago ？
For a simple guest network where you might have people over at your house or guests visiting a business, the firewall rules I showed are pretty much all you need. And yes, with cloud connect I am managing networks in Virginia, California, Toronto, Florida, basically all over the place. No need to port forward anything. Just sign in with your Single Sign On account and you're good to go. Hope this helps!
The UDM pro has a 1gb backplane for all 8 ports. Meaning all 8 ports share a 1Gbps link total. I’d use the SFP to connect your PoE switch to the UDM as that link will be a dedicated 10Gbps not shared. I still love my UDM pro though but just use those 8 ports for non bandwidth intensive IoT stuff like Hue and SmartThings.
I didn't know that. That's pretty weird. I don't plan on using those ports anyways though. I have a 48 port POE switch I will be connecting over 10gb SFP+ for the final installation. Thank you!
Yeah I’m using the 24 port PoE Pro 2nd gen with the 10Gbit link over a DAC cable for all my LAN connections that are bandwidth intensive. Working great!
@@Kevin-mb4xf yes the UDMP uses the full 10Gb throughput but only when utilizing the SFP+ to another SFP that supports 10Gb, sorry my initial post made it seem like it was only limited to one gigabit(I edited the post), that’s the 8 ports only, the SFPs are not capped.
Great video but raises a couple of questions... 1. Will the Dream Machine offer the same management tools as the Dream Machine Pro? 2. If I install the PRO can it be in a laundry room that is hot (Not Air Conditioned) outside? 3. Is the Pro "Silent" or is there a fan that needs to run to cool it? Thank you in advance, I learned a lot!
The video is pretty good, looks to be easy to setup and managing multiple install locations from one account. Had to laugh though, spending $$$ on a SFP transceiver & a fiber patch cable to use a super duper high speed 10GBE fiber port, just for 100M fiber internet. :)
Nice video I am running a edgerouter x and ac-lite really waiting to get a one more access point because I live on a 3 floor building and it’s all made out of concrete but need to wait and find work again
@5:51 - A good installer would not run a patch cable directly from the switch to the AP location. Rather, They would run a short patch to a patch panel which then is connected to the AP via solid core category wire.
Thanks for a great video. It really helped me understand the product better. The only caveat I have is that 100MBit is too low to get any indication of how fast the equipment performs. Cheers!
I live in a big house with about 60 people in about 30 flats. We have one WiFi for everyone with about 15 access points, but lately during home office/home schooling the WiFi has been really bad, and at some times I couldn't even watch UA-cam videos. Which APs would you recommend us to upgrade to?
You need to point out that enabling threat management can drastically reduce your download speed. I have a USG, if I were to enable TM it would reduce my DL speed from 362Mbps to 85Mbps.
The only thing that is a cons for me in this setup is price. This is not so feasible for a home network unless you have something that can take advantage of it's full potential but if you really have some cash to burn then go for it, this could be the last thing you'll need for quite a while
I'm faily sure that SDN does not mean there is a central controller? SDN just means that more functions are done on a software level VS a specific hardware chip. I could be wrong .
Nice video. I'm considering this or Omada. I like the way Ubiquiti looks but people complaining about bugs is concerning. Can you tell me what your experience is software wise?
I have the UDM Pro w/ 4 AP Pros in my house. I am planning to upgrade the AP Pro to 6 Pros when they are released since the AP Pros are no longer supported.
good video. planning a setup for a new home. I will use Ubiquiti. In my old home i use also Ubiquiti, but only 2x AP AClite and 1x AP ACHD. But working very nice. For my reolink cams i use synology disk station with synology surveillance station. My DS718+ without HDD costs more than the DM pro. So for the new house.... do i need the disk station ? Only to have redundancy for th HDD ? The G3 cam looks nice, but the price is double of the reolink RLC-510A. Will the DM pro accept other cams ? Like the reolink ? I would do a mixed setup, maybe. The G3 with IR range extender outside with no additional low light at night.
So if I plan to have only an Edgerouter 10X and an access point, I would have to set up a Unifi server to initially set up the access point? Seems like I should probably buy something other than a Ubiquiti access point in that case.
Bit hard to see on a phone screen and I think you ran over the topic rather quickly. Is it possible to assign a vlan to a user with wireless and wired devices and do this with multiple users? Each user on their own vlan with wired and wireless devices from the same AP?
Hi Miller. There's something that I don't understand: Why you created a separate network for the VAP (guest wlan) when you can create that from the new UI, which already assigns policies related to a guest network? It's another advantage of doing it the way you did? I'm sorry if I missed the point. Cheers!
Very good video but i have a few questions. What would a unifi DMP, switch & APs, setup give me that my pfsense firewall and 3 Asus ROG AXE Routers (with merlin) set as Access points won't? The prices are going to be very similar so that makes no difference, and unifi won't work with my Hikvision cameras and NVR. The only nice thing i can see is all your APs are inside the DMP, instead of having to go into each one individually, but to me thats so minor it's only a side note.
Have you received any answers- I have the worry - buying a home now, would love a good all mesh wifi network and so on. My worry is ding different stuff example Hikvision cameras and NVR and not all work9ng together. My end goal is a nice network system and cameras and all at my home - were i can start using it were i rent and expand all stuff as i one day buy a house
@@viljoendurand no, no one ever responded. So I built my own mesh system. I built a pfsense firewall, then put an AP on each floor in the same theory as having mesh routers, but with the APs I have more control over them. And I had my house wired with rj45 and cat6 during the build.
Just wondering. If the AP access is as good as passing through two floors, installing an AP access on the ceiling of first floor should cover both basement and second floor theoretically.
The disco music playing on your video made it difficult to understand the dialogue. It was a bit like listening to a conference in a nightclub. A pity. It sounded interesting.
Great job. Clear clean instructions. I used it on a USG-Pro-4 , cloud key and a UniFi Switch 16 POE-150W. I have successfully blocked all internvlan communication and so on. I don’t have any Ubiquiti access points. I have 2 questions. 1. I wish to block internal communication between devices inside the guest network? 2. Is there a way to limit speeds via mac accress or IP without using a Ubiquiti AP? I know this can be handled on the Ubiquiti APs I am looking or a firewall rule or a setting without using ubiquity APs.
1. On your guest network, make sure the “Guest Network” checkbox is ticked. It might say “Apply Guest Policies”. That automatically blocks traffic between devices on that network. 2. If you’re using the old user interface, go to “Users” in the side bar, then create a user and set your speed limits. Then go to your network that you wish to be throttled and in the user drop down menu, select your user group. This is the only way I know of doing this in Unifi, honestly not sure if it only works with their access points or can work with just the router, but it’s worth a try.
@Miller Technical Services Thanks for the reply. It is a great answer but it applies to the Unifi AP,s. The AP,s usually do this job of client isolation and speed throttling. I use a bunch of small home routers running the tomato firmware. I have used the DDWRT ip tables firewall rules to stop users from pinging the others. My issue is when a user plugs his or her laptop directly into the network. They can see everything within their vlan.
I’m very new to the home server/networking scene but the question I have is: You said your wifi is only supposed to be 100 Mbps from your internet provider but you connected your switch to the Dream Machine with that big long-tipped cable that I thought you said was like for 1 or 10 Gigabit speeds. If you are only getting 100 Mbps from your ISP, why do you need to connect the switch to the Dream Machine with a cable that supports speeds hundreds or thousands of times faster? Wouldn’t you only need to use that funny looking cable if you were getting gigabit speeds from your ISP? Forgive my ignorance. I want to get these for my home but not sure what’s correct.
I used that as a demonstration of what you could do, not what you have to do. That funny cable is LC fiber and it is connected to another switch on the other side of my basement. I didn’t want a guide video to only show what I personally need for my trash internet connection.
Thanks you a wonderful video for complete setup,, just I have 2 question, in my case we planning to just deploy AP in our office,, we have already firewall from Sonicwall Tz600 model, so still I need to buy firewall Unifi Dream Machine pro from Unifi please confirm shall i go ahead with Switch Lite 8 PoE switch - 1Nos AP U6-LR - 6Nos cloudkey Gen2 In case if i missed out anything else kindly let me know thanks...
Nice video, thanks! Summarises it nicely for me. Would the new UDM Pro SE replace the need for a PoE switch or you still recommend the switch even if we’d buy the UDM Pro SE?
so the UDM pro can't power the APs? I have to buy the switch with PoE use them? in a 2,000sqft house, is the UDM pro good enough, or would I need to spend another ~400 for the switch?
I'm using a single Unifi AC-PRO access point and I am getting strange wifi speeds: 10 Mbps down, 90 Mbps up. I'm testing against a self hosted OpenSpeedTest server on LAN, so I know the issue with isolated to the Unifi AP. Any ideas why this would happen and can I get more symmetrical speeds?
I need your help please, so I am currently getting the optimum 8 gig service. Do I need to have the UDM pro run into my ubiquity enterprise switch do I even need the UDM switch? And I’m having one problem I’m able to set up everything and control everything from one computer but if I go to my upstairs computer, I’m not able to connect to the devices how do I fix that?
Hi I loved the video. I recently received a Unifi LR as a gift and our internet provider is coming to set up our service but I am wondering if we still need to get a router as they are only providing us with a zhone modem. If we do need a router what would you recommend. Hope you have a great day!

Nice video I am running a edgerouter x and ac-lite really waiting to get a one more access point because I live on a 3 floor building and it’s all made out of concrete but need to wait and find work again
Needing to create an online account to set up this hardware is a deal breaker.
@5:51 - A good installer would not run a patch cable directly from the switch to the AP location. Rather, They would run a short patch to a patch panel which then is connected to the AP via solid core category wire.
That’s kind of obvious. I’m just saying you don’t install the access points on top of the router for anything but initial setup and demonstration.
@@MillerTechnicalServices Obviously. Not criticizing just thought it was worth mentioning. Good info otherwise. :)
Wifi 6 Ld is phenomenal
Thanks for a great video. It really helped me understand the product better. The only caveat I have is that 100MBit is too low to get any indication of how fast the equipment performs. Cheers!
I live in a big house with about 60 people in about 30 flats. We have one WiFi for everyone with about 15 access points, but lately during home office/home schooling the WiFi has been really bad, and at some times I couldn't even watch UA-cam videos. Which APs would you recommend us to upgrade to?
Wifi 6 LR Access Point for Ubiquiti
Could you do a 2024 setup video
You need to point out that enabling threat management can drastically reduce your download speed. I have a USG, if I were to enable TM it would reduce my DL speed from 362Mbps to 85Mbps.
Yeah, that’s on a USG. On the UDM, your routing speed drops, but is like 2Gbps, way faster than your internet speed so you won’t notice.
The only thing that is a cons for me in this setup is price. This is not so feasible for a home network unless you have something that can take advantage of it's full potential but if you really have some cash to burn then go for it, this could be the last thing you'll need for quite a while
Great bro. but it depends on your setup. my network worked better with LR than the Pro (but some network goes better with pro)
Awesome video, thank you!
Pricing would have been nice, or at least links to the items used:)
That was very helpful; thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video but I got a question would you recommend this for a hotel business of 40 rooms because this video is almost a year old?
I'm faily sure that SDN does not mean there is a central controller? SDN just means that more functions are done on a software level VS a specific hardware chip. I could be wrong .
You’re correct on a technical level. I am correct in a getting normal, non technical people to understand it level. 😂
Great video, I have a question why your recommended the pro dream machine over the capsule ?
great video! thanks :)
Nice video. I'm considering this or Omada. I like the way Ubiquiti looks but people complaining about bugs is concerning. Can you tell me what your experience is software wise?
I have the UDM Pro w/ 4 AP Pros in my house. I am planning to upgrade the AP Pro to 6 Pros when they are released since the AP Pros are no longer supported.
Thanks for the demo and info
good video. planning a setup for a new home. I will use Ubiquiti. In my old home i use also Ubiquiti, but only 2x AP AClite and 1x AP ACHD. But working very nice.
For my reolink cams i use synology disk station with synology surveillance station. My DS718+ without HDD costs more than the DM pro. So for the new house.... do i need the disk station ? Only to have redundancy for th HDD ? The G3 cam looks nice, but the price is double of the reolink RLC-510A. Will the DM pro accept other cams ? Like the reolink ? I would do a mixed setup, maybe. The G3 with IR range extender outside with no additional low light at night.
Great Video. Very helpful for diy people like me.
Great video, but to watch and learn, the speed needs to be 0.75% .. :D :D
Great video, can you run other cameras from different manufacturers?
With UDM and UDM Pro you can't use another controller.
You have to use the build in controller.
So if I plan to have only an Edgerouter 10X and an access point, I would have to set up a Unifi server to initially set up the access point? Seems like I should probably buy something other than a Ubiquiti access point in that case.
Bit hard to see on a phone screen and I think you ran over the topic rather quickly. Is it possible to assign a vlan to a user with wireless and wired devices and do this with multiple users? Each user on their own vlan with wired and wireless devices from the same AP?
There is no user based vlans with Unifi. Their routing is pretty limited.
looks like mine, also missing tons of cameras.
Hi Miller. There's something that I don't understand: Why you created a separate network for the VAP (guest wlan) when you can create that from the new UI, which already assigns policies related to a guest network? It's another advantage of doing it the way you did? I'm sorry if I missed the point. Cheers!
its such an amazing video I really appreciate it!!!
Great video thanx. And are the ubiquiti APs mesh capable for the 6 lite and 6lr APs
Very good video but i have a few questions. What would a unifi DMP, switch & APs, setup give me that my pfsense firewall and 3 Asus ROG AXE Routers (with merlin) set as Access points won't? The prices are going to be very similar so that makes no difference, and unifi won't work with my Hikvision cameras and NVR. The only nice thing i can see is all your APs are inside the DMP, instead of having to go into each one individually, but to me thats so minor it's only a side note.
Have you received any answers- I have the worry - buying a home now, would love a good all mesh wifi network and so on. My worry is ding different stuff example Hikvision cameras and NVR and not all work9ng together.
My end goal is a nice network system and cameras and all at my home - were i can start using it were i rent and expand all stuff as i one day buy a house
@@viljoendurand no, no one ever responded. So I built my own mesh system. I built a pfsense firewall, then put an AP on each floor in the same theory as having mesh routers, but with the APs I have more control over them. And I had my house wired with rj45 and cat6 during the build.
How do you know what the heat map will look like for a new construction house. I have no idea how many ap's and what model to buy. Can you help?
Just wondering. If the AP access is as good as passing through two floors, installing an AP access on the ceiling of first floor should cover both basement and second floor theoretically.
Awesome. Very helpful.
The disco music playing on your video made it difficult to understand the dialogue. It was a bit like listening to a conference in a nightclub. A pity. It sounded interesting.
Great video, a list of components and links to some store.
Great job. Clear clean instructions.
I used it on a USG-Pro-4 , cloud key and a UniFi Switch 16 POE-150W.
I have successfully blocked all internvlan communication and so on.
I don’t have any Ubiquiti access points.
I have 2 questions.
1. I wish to block internal communication between devices inside the guest network?
2. Is there a way to limit speeds via mac accress or IP without using a Ubiquiti AP?
I know this can be handled on the Ubiquiti APs
I am looking or a firewall rule or a setting without using ubiquity APs.
1. On your guest network, make sure the “Guest Network” checkbox is ticked. It might say “Apply Guest Policies”. That automatically blocks traffic between devices on that network.
2. If you’re using the old user interface, go to “Users” in the side bar, then create a user and set your speed limits. Then go to your network that you wish to be throttled and in the user drop down menu, select your user group. This is the only way I know of doing this in Unifi, honestly not sure if it only works with their access points or can work with just the router, but it’s worth a try.
@Miller Technical Services Thanks for the reply. It is a great answer but it applies to the Unifi AP,s. The AP,s usually do this job of client isolation and speed throttling. I use a bunch of small home routers running the tomato firmware. I have used the DDWRT ip tables firewall rules to stop users from pinging the others. My issue is when a user plugs his or her laptop directly into the network. They can see everything within their vlan.
I’m very new to the home server/networking scene but the question I have is:
You said your wifi is only supposed to be 100 Mbps from your internet provider but you connected your switch to the Dream Machine with that big long-tipped cable that I thought you said was like for 1 or 10 Gigabit speeds. If you are only getting 100 Mbps from your ISP, why do you need to connect the switch to the Dream Machine with a cable that supports speeds hundreds or thousands of times faster? Wouldn’t you only need to use that funny looking cable if you were getting gigabit speeds from your ISP? Forgive my ignorance. I want to get these for my home but not sure what’s correct.
I used that as a demonstration of what you could do, not what you have to do. That funny cable is LC fiber and it is connected to another switch on the other side of my basement. I didn’t want a guide video to only show what I personally need for my trash internet connection.
What AP would you recommend as of now?
Thanks you a wonderful video for complete setup,, just I have 2 question, in my case we planning to just deploy AP in our office,, we have already firewall from Sonicwall Tz600 model, so still I need to buy firewall Unifi Dream Machine pro from Unifi please confirm
shall i go ahead with
Switch Lite 8 PoE switch - 1Nos
AP U6-LR - 6Nos
cloudkey Gen2
In case if i missed out anything else kindly let me know
thanks...
Nice video, thanks! Summarises it nicely for me. Would the new UDM Pro SE replace the need for a PoE switch or you still recommend the switch even if we’d buy the UDM Pro SE?
Nah, just get the se.
looks good. i still get confused by the US rolling out gigabit in 2021, you can literally get 25Gbit Internet in Switzerland for 65$/month
Your country is the size of one of our smaller cities!, if that’s all we had to lay fiber for we would have been done years ago.
so the UDM pro can't power the APs? I have to buy the switch with PoE use them? in a 2,000sqft house, is the UDM pro good enough, or would I need to spend another ~400 for the switch?
Surveillance station is just better. But the router and switches unifi is on point..
I agree about surveillance station. That’s what I deploy the most of.
I'm using a single Unifi AC-PRO access point and I am getting strange wifi speeds: 10 Mbps down, 90 Mbps up. I'm testing against a self hosted OpenSpeedTest server on LAN, so I know the issue with isolated to the Unifi AP. Any ideas why this would happen and can I get more symmetrical speeds?
I need your help please, so I am currently getting the optimum 8 gig service. Do I need to have the UDM pro run into my ubiquity enterprise switch do I even need the UDM switch? And I’m having one problem I’m able to set up everything and control everything from one computer but if I go to my upstairs computer, I’m not able to connect to the devices how do I fix that?
What is the minimum equipment I need to get house set up? With access point pro model.
Hi I loved the video. I recently received a Unifi LR as a gift and our internet provider is coming to set up our service but I am wondering if we still need to get a router as they are only providing us with a zhone modem. If we do need a router what would you recommend. Hope you have a great day!
It depends on your internet speed. What connection speed do you have?
