I have a U6+ mounted on the wall facing a window onto the back garden, gives me solid coverage all the way down.
No idea, that's why I'm asking. Tried looking online but couldn't find anything about Advanced.
Does its ‘view’ out the window cover the garden?
Pretty much, it's a loooong terrace garden. The signal does drop towards the end by the shed, but it's perfect for sitting on the patio and taking meetings on the laptop.
Only has the advanced option for my G6 Turret my G5 Ultra just has Standard and Enhanced.

I had a US-8-150W fail a few hours ago. I had a spare though having recently replaced one with a USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE so I've put the one old back into service until the next USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE arrives on Monday.
This is a strange one...
I have a small home network, unifi USG-3P which is plugged into my virgin modem (modem mode), a unifi 8 port swith and a UAP AC-lite access point..
Mainly using my Imac connected via ethernet to the switch, this happens on all devices if connected to the network.
Every so often my connection to my password manager dies, if I try to login I get a cannot connect to service error. When this has happened before, I restarted firefix or rebooted the imac and I could connect. Although it would drop out fairly soon afterwards.
Today someone mentioned a game (Spec Ops The Line) and I wondered if I had it in my steam account, could not connect to steam, just get server not found. Rebooted and restarted firefox, same as before, would load up and then soon afterwards the site would becomce unrepsonsive.
Just logged into the usg to see if I can find some logs to give me an idea what to do, went through all my settings also. I had set country restrictions for russia and north korea to be blocked both ways..
Turned this off and everything loads up properly andcontinues to do so.
This probably isn't a unifi issue, more of a routing issue, why am I being routed to probably russia for steam, and is there a way I can test this?
Thanks

Not sure why I'm having such issues with my G4 Doorbell. On my U6 Pro upstairs, it would have off days where the signal would be weak reducing recording quality and even sometimes not record at all. Usually optimising the channels would be fix it but the problem has been getting worse. I've installed a U7 XG downstairs in the same blumin hallway as the doorbell and forced it to connect to that, the signal is even worse.
Edit - some shenanigans going on. My downstairs bathroom, right next to the front door, got 20-25Mbps with the upstairs AP - it was a bit of a dead zone. It now gets x10 that but the doorbell still struggles. Also, my S23U seems to struggle connecting on 6E - I see it pop up but before I can do a speed test, it jumps back down to 6. I'm in need of sorting various settings and rejigging my VLANs so might start from scratch later in the week.

What frequency bands are you using?
I have pretty old APs so only have WiFi 4 and 5 and to pre-empt possible issues with the signal on my G4 Doorbell Pro, I’ve even added it to a 2.4Ghz only SSID I run. It has more than enough throughput and a stable signal.
What are the signal levels reported on the doorbell?
It's likely blocking ip ranges and those have moved so are out of date
Just making a guess what the rumoured new NAS prices might be.
UNAS-Pro is £395 which is the same chassis as the UNVR-Pro, which is also £395. It's reasonably to expect the rumoured 4 bay NAS to be the same price as the UNVR which is £268.80. I'd be very happy with that price point. The Enterprise NVR is £1918.80, you could assume the 16 bay UNAS would also be this price. I guess it's got quite a bit of a price jump due to the dual PSU design plus extra RAM and a beefier CPU.
I recon if they make an 8 bay NAS it's going to be ~£600 if it's got a single PSU, no doubt it will have slightly better networking than the current UNAS-Pro and a slight CPU/RAM uplift, accounting for the price increase. I hope I'm right, because for a short depth 2U 8 bay NAS that's pretty decent. I just really hope they add in a few NVMe slots on the rear of it.

If Ubiquiti are insistent on keeping as just a storage NAS rather than being a multi function appliance like most NAS are these days, the price point will start becoming an issue the bigger they go.
Matching the uNVR price for something like a 4 bay storage only seems fine but this end of the market is very price sensitive.
You can get a N150 based device with NVME and SATA ports which will act as a NAS and run other functions. Sure it won’t have the fancy aluminium rack enclosure but that pushes Ubiquiti into the form over function camp.
The upper end of the market starts to become functionality sensitive.

Yes but no. Personally I buy stuff for our business (probably medium in the "SME" paradigm) - I'd rather just have a NAS that does NAS things well. Compute/Containers are better placed on a separate server / mini PC / etc.
The only reason containers etc ended up on NASes, is so that the vendor could sell you a new NAS every year with a better processor/more ram for compute. The core NAS functionality is unchanged, and even a 10 year old NAS likely still does it's job absolutely fine.
As long as the storage side is solid, and ideally the network side is reasonably forward thinking e.g. Multi-gigabit at a mininum (i.e. not stuck on gigabit ports like Synology were for years)
For home absolutely, but as an SME I'm not buying a generic N150 device. Rack mount is function not just form.
