*** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

Been quite happy with my UDR, Express and U6 Pro setup, all behaving and giving very good coverage across the house. The only oddity is the topology in the app really doesn't know what to do with the express, it keeps moving it around the screen and attaching the wan connection to it then reverting it to the UDR.

Only other oddity is the Mac Mini M2 Pro is showing as haiving poor signal at -80db which is in the same room as the UDR and connecting at > 1Gbps so its not causing any connection or speed problems

I have 2 of them along with 48port poe switch. Signal is good and works fine on phone and tv but my older mac works for 30 seconds then cannot send any traffic even ping but shows connected.

What's the power use on them like?

Anyone have any real world experiences yet with the U7 Pro? Really debating going for one, bit of an itch... :D

I've been running a borrowed one from a mate since last weekend.
I usually have my AP's mounted in the loft and so far I've not lost the signal once. It seems to cover the whole house. Currently with the AP in the loft (Thrown onto the insulation) and I'm downstairs in my home office. My P8 is showing a signal on Wifi 7 mode as -65dBm as read from Wifiman app on the phone. As I go up the stairs this obviously changes to -35dBm.

Just to add to that - PHY speeds downstairs in my home office are fluctuating around 1730-1920 down and 1633 up.
Upstairs on the landing underneath the AP they are showing 2882 down and 2450 up. If that's any further useful info for anyone.

Double sigh…

I think I’ll get an EU version when they come in stock (or a UDR if that comes first).

The EU comes in and out of stock fairly often. I'm still tempted to get one myself but half of me is thinking just go for a UDM Pro (If I can find a used one) and go all in. Would be way overkill though!

I'll eventually upgrade to whatever the rack mountable version is in my next house as I'll probably want APs, more network points and a camera system. Thought a sensible way in would be to start small and upgrade as a go along.

What are the actual data transfer rates at the application layer? Not being funny but I don't think it's helpful to build people's expectations with theoretical link speeds that are actually pointless in real life.

That's why I put in the end 'if that info was actually useful to anyone' ;)

True, that's what I was thinking. Once my current CCTV system fails then move onto a bigger package.

I've also got a WiFi 6E laptop laying around so happy to perform over the air data transfers between the two devices for a TRUE representation, I'm more than happy to set it all up and try.
I would just need to know what would be the best way to do so.
