Hi folks,

Will be upgrading from 80/20 Openreach connection to 900/900 CityFibre.

Currently have an ER-X with AC-lite and AC-LR access points, 1 at the front and 1 at rear of property. Around 50 devices and 3 vlans, including a handful of 2.4ghz only devices.

What would be the best upgrade path to maximise my new connection with around £300 budget?

Thanks

Will the ER-X not do 900 Mbps? I don't know much about the non-UniFi devices.
I'm not sure, I'm due to go live next week so can't test just yet.

I'm hoping it can cope with it so I can just invest in upgrading the AP's instead.

I'm thinking a UAP 6 PRO would be the natural choice.

I've come across Grandstream AP's which seem to be good value with a 2.5G port but can't find much feedback on them other than their VOIP products.

I dropped Ubiquiti setup last week for

3 x TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro AXE5400​


Works fine on Cityfibre 900/900 (Vodafone) I miss the simple advert blocking and more dynamic DNS provider choice. But they offer a free option and for ads I can install pihole.

I have a Rpi running pihole currently for ads.

1 x 2.5G + 2 x 1G ports, WiFi 6E, 1.7ghz quad core broadcom cpu, for around £115 each on offer. Seems good value to me.

Are you using them as wired backhaul?

Any particular reason you dropped the Ubiquiti setup?
