I have had numerous issues with my home network over the last 6 months to a year, WIFI dropping out without any apparent reason, router loosing internet connectivity and many others, this was traced to my Netgear dual band wifi / router. it needed to be replaced!
This video is long and a little unstructured as it simply details my experience in getting the router up and running, while I know networking pretty well, I have never used an Ubiquiti product before and hopes to help others going through their upgrades
In order to fix this I bought Ubiquiti Router and WIFI access points
This cost the same (Approximately) as it would have for a high performance home router but with many advantages like dual Access points positioned at points to cover the whole house, all with the router still in the basement. additionally I gained a new level of configuration and control over my home network.
you can get one for yourself from Amazon here :-
EdgreRouter amzn.to/2Pw6Ifz
WIFI Access Points here :- amzn.to/2NJq4wm
NOTE:- As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases but there is no additional cost to you.
This was a new router to me and I had to learn many new things in order to configure it. It also came with a very old firmware version... I dont know why. so the video includes all the issues I faced resulting in a bit longer than I wanted.
This is NOT a sponsored video, I had to buy all the equipment with my own money and the project was undertaken out of necessity, I recorded it hoping the experience can help others.
This second part focuses on the WIFI Access points which are Ideal for long-range deployments, the UniFi AC LR AP offers simultaneous, dual-band operation with 3x3 MIMO in the 2.4 GHz band and 2x2 MIMO in the 5 GHz band.It has innovative antenna design providing a long-range, symmetrical-link coverage area, and the antenna gain of the UniFi AC LR AP performs better than one-way, high transmit power does for connecting distant clients.
