I know, problem is that profile isn't applied during boot up on the older ones this one does which is really nice. So I found issues where when it was booting it would deliver power to the attached device. Not great unless you need that..

We had them behind TV media cabinets, desk height, clear line of sight is always going to be better, the main thing if theres obstructions is 5Ghz band gets weaker (doesn't penetrate as much as 2.4Ghz). We had 5 in our old 3500Sq/ft house, and that was more than enough (probably overkill), but I ran more of them at lower power. They are more designed for hotels etc, where you put one in each room and they have brick between the rooms to isolate the signals more.

Huh... hold alt/option down - who knew.... :D

@@JeffreyHammerCam yeah, works on most menu's

Haha, yeah, I'm not British enough for the Brits and not American enough for the Yanks!

ikkuranus Older model it was located deep within a drywall box. This is more versatile especially for European homes where smaller in wall boxes are the standard. In my installation we had to crimp our own cables to get them just the right length as the shield around the connector made it almost impossible to fit.

Ha, never really thought about it. They have gotten bigger overtime, but yeah, on-wall doesn't sound as catchy I guess?

Just passive, womp womp. We'll see if the InWall 6's are 802 and I think that they will also be 2.5Gbps uplinks

Only if you are using the full 40mhz, which I don't because there's to much interference. I'll need to channel planning video I guess you show people how to calculate it.

Actually it applies to 20mhz, “With 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, there are four non-overlapping 20 MHz channels: 1, 6, 11, and 14.” www.cbtnuggets.com/blog/certifications/cisco/when-to-use-20mhz-vs-40mhz-vs-80mhz

@@wgb2004 interesting, thanks for the link. I should follow up on this!

yes.

Could of, but trying to keep my office fairly neat.

See my other vids, but a 48 port Poe unifi switch and then into an edge router.

Christopher Jenkins thanks man! I currently have an edgerouter infinity, can I plug the APs directly into it or do I need a special controller?

@@javilionaire the unifi aps require unifi controller for setup. So you can run the controller on your computer if you like once setup they don't need the controller. However with newer features it's recommend to run a controller. They have dedicated hardware, but can run on any vm or docker if you have a server setup. As for hardware the aps are Poe and run over cat5e+ cables so you would need some form of Poe switch to run the aps as the edge router does not have Poe

Christopher Jenkins awesome, that makes sense, thank you! What PoE switch would you recommend that can take SFP+ as an input? And also has a couple couple SFP+ outputs? While also having a few POEs for the APs? I have a 3gb internet connection and my computer is the only thing that is capable of using the full 2gb, so i’d need to connect to the switch to my desktop as well as the APs

@@javilionaire dang, yeah you need the newer stuff which has more sfp+ port's. I haven't looked into it much, but I think they have a edge switch XG which is 16 10G port's but no Poe, it's tricky they don't really have something which does both. Probably a combination of the 10xp and 16xg. You'll have to weigh up what you need. You can turn the unused port's on your infinity into switching port's and maybe use a newer Poe switch with the 10g uplinks.
