Amazon. You mean Amazon? You can say Amazon you know. Amazon.
(Sorry, one of my pet peeves).
I need to get an AP to give me coverage in the back garden, the AC-LR's at the front of the house don't reach far enough to get past the patio.

The Pros are some what water proof if you want to mount outside.

Excellent, I'll probably grab a Pro then. Now I just need to work out how to get an ethernet cable to it.
They aren't meant to be placed in direct rain they are supposed to be placed under a eave or similar.

Or you could buy an external model like the UAP+ ?
So having bought a AC-PRO and loving it so far, what are peoples opinion of the USG?
At the moment I run a ASA 5510 which handles 3 networks and Any Connect. its now showing its age and im looking for something which is quieter and less power hungry. I was looking at a 5508 but I cant get one used without the Clockrate bug which could turn it into a brick.

I've had a play with a USG and a notable comment from someone who works and distributes the USG's said that the basic model whilst is good for having the graphs and DPI, would suit a home network fine. Once you start running decent traffic through and loading them up they do tend to fall over.
My experience with the USG was good, graphs were very pretty but I found myself very restricted as the interface is very basic.

Somewhere I read said it's capable of 300mbps easily, which on ftcc will be enough. Also many extra things can be done via cli?

Probably can do 300Mb with minimal firewall rules and no DPI. It's once you start turning on the frilly bits they supposedly start to wither.

Chaps. 3x unifi AC APs in the house, what channels shall I set the 5ghz to ? Or do I leave 5gz in auto and boot them up one by one ?
2.4ghz are on 1, 6 and 11 (low power)

Unless you have a good reason not to leave all the channels on auto.
It'll sort itself out, and will be able to react as the networks around you chop and change.

I thought 5ghz only surveys on a reboot of the AP, after this it doesn't change dynamically.
Il leave it as it is for time being, see how it goes.
Thanks mate
Its shiney and nice with lights and gives me an extra graph in the controller...........I really really should get to grips with my network. All the gear but no idea.....
How do I set up port forwarding so I can access my synology NAS (surveillance station) when away.
I have a Virgin hub in modem mode and A USG
I think Ive set up Forwrding on the USG, BUt when trying to set up the NAS its asking for a router in a drop down list but the USH isn't one listed
