i have installed also but I have an issue with the speed connection, is very very slow, also about 1mbps.. or 2mbps, I can use to see any video for example any tip? my connection is 500mb/100mb... at least I was expecting some connection around 10/20mbps just to see live videos

I'm wondering why dream router didn't make the cut?

5:41 Quick question: Why is the ping so bad, even if you didn't leave your own network? I was expecting <1ms or at least <2ms?

I’m really bummed you weren’t able to test multi-link operation (and it didn’t even get a mention) aka MLO. Being able to aggregate 5ghz, 6ghz, and 2.4ghz is the big advantage of WiFi 7, and I believe the firmware was out when this was posted. I could be wrong here, but, effectively I believe you only tested the WiFi 6E capabilities? Unless you were on UniFi Network Application 8.2.93 or greater, which wasn’t mentioned, this was a big oversight to me. I’m having trouble finding content covering Ubiquiti’s MLO capabilities, which is the only thing that would possibly convince me to upgrade from the U6-Enterprise (especially given the 2x2 instead of 4x4 MIMO on 5 and 6ghz)

I’m running ultra gateway with the 210w ultra switch with a 60w ultra switch with a u6-lr access point. It’s a great system. I’ve installed many dream machine pro for small business and large home. Ultra line is perfect for small homes.

Did Ubiquiti change the specs on the UniFi Express to handle more than 4 additional UniFi devices (12:29 in video). The UniFi Store still shows it only supporting 4 + itself. The UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra support 30+ UniFi network devices. Just want to make sure nobody buys a UniFi Express thinking it can handle a bunch of UniFi devices

It is time to do a 2024 version of this video! :D :D (I think I missed this comment for 2023?)

I got the Unifi Express to have Wifi 6 and an updated gateway from my USG. I have too many unifi devices for it though "according to ubiquiti" so I though well thats ok since I have my own locally hosted controller... nope it would not work in gateway mode with a seperate controller, only would work as an AP. However I backup my controller then restored it to the express controller and all of my devices connected and can be managed. I cant add anymore and I am one over the limit....

Great explanation, it has cleared up several doubts for me! Thanks!

What I can’t figure out is why T-Mobile has solid 5g where I live but the home internet is not available. If it’s 5g wouldn’t work anywhere T-Mobile works?

Thanks for explaining the Wi-Fi repeater option and showing the steps to set it up. That's exactly what I needed that was missing from other videos I saw on this device.

GREAT VIDEO!!!! I know when I first started I just jump into buying UDM-Pro and bought 1 wifi device, and 1 camera. I then followed your videos on how to setup the device. Had to wait about 1 month before I started building my network because of the cost. Wish I would of started like you mention in the video but glad I just jumped in the ocean.. since then I have updated my network to more devices. Keep up the great work, and look forward on more videos.

Since there's power available in the mine shaft, a pair of fiber-ethernet converter or several fibric daisy chained switches with SFP(+) would solve the problem. Just add power sockets to the power line of the pump at each level that needs internet access.

any idea when the UACC-U7-Pro-Wall-FM backfill be back in stock. thanks

Hey quick question for you. Can I have a UAP-AC-M-PRO on one VLAN mesh to another UI device on a different VLAN? Kind of act as a wireless bridge giving internet access to devices on it?

Latest version of unifi still hasn't resolved credit card processing issue for a paid portal. Bummer :(

I work at a big tech company. I’m fully remote, but not allowed to travel outside the country. This same method should allow me to connect to my home network so I can be in London for example but my work laptop would be showing im still home in the states right?

What a great video. Thank you for all the information and the step-by-step instructions. So if I did, this, and I used my travel router in, for example, Mexico, would my Internet traffic from Mexico appear as if I’m actually back home in the US? Also, do I have to use the GLI net brand of router at home, or can I use my existing Netgear for the VPN server part?

I got yellow not green at the end. I have tried multiple times by reseting and following the steps again but still the same. Any help?

Do I need a unify network controller if I want to use unify access points?

I'm confused. Why is it called unifi? It's just networking devices?

Great video. I've got a GL.iNet Slate Plus which connects back to my Unifi Dream Machine Pro. I take this with me whenever staying away, and therefore get to connect to the internet securely from my home IP address wherever I am in the world. 🙂

European here - I'm using one UAP-Lite and it can't even reach to next room. Need to mention 55cm brickwall so... At least two if not three will be needed for single apartment.

Thx for this video, UCG-Ultra & U6+ are on the way. I'll wait for the switch, the one I'm using works fine (plus I need link aggregation and don't find if Unifi switches has it)

Thank you for this information we were looking at starlink for a backup internet solution but we'll definitely not be wasting our time now thank you

Hello, I followed all the instructions (which were terrific) for my GL AX-1800 Slate 1 and the GL-A1300 Slate Plus (travel router). I'm using Wireguard and have green lights on both sides, yet, on the travel router I have no internet while on the VPN. Upon disabling the VPN on the travel router I have interent. Any guidance appreciated. Tx.

Why would you guys design such a janky solution for Cerro Gordo? You guys can do better than this for Brent.

Very Interesting, thank you :)

8:45 mr beast

Reminds me of the last generation Apple Airport base station.

The mine needs glass fiber and decent power, period. Perhaps in town I would use fiber to interconnect the different houses. Not sure how Brent feels about cables, but if you want a stable and fast network, use cables!! But yeah, a lot more work, and probably a lot more expensive.

I live in Chicago, where a lot of brick homes have been expanded, often leaving masonry that used to be the exterior walls hidden inside interior walls. These create rooms, and sometimes whole sections of the house, that are wi-fi dead spots. The best way to fully cover such houses is to have my low-voltage subcontractor pull Ethernet cables from wherever the Internet service comes in (which is usually also where any other network equipment is) to the additions on the wrong side of the hidden masonry and install access points there. In such cases, it can take 3 or more access points for full coverage. Unfortunately, this can get quite expensive, which is why whenever I pass by one of these build-outs in progress, I'll try to find out who the owner is and plant a bug in his ear about having Ethernet cable run during the construction, when it's much cheaper to do so. It's amazing to me that even after years of proliferation of home networking, it's still an afterthought to architects, interior designers and contractors. For the budget-constrained, I will try a TP-Link Deco PX50 kit, which can connect an access point on the wrong side of the hidden masonry using powerline networking. I've had good results with that, but it may not work if the electrical wiring isn't up to snuff, if the electrical system is divided across multiple breaker panels or if the house has multiple electrical feeds from the utility pole. A UniFi solution is always preferable if the client is willing to pay for it.

Is a video created before u connect I started installing easy 5 minute Never connected to internet never can used so i losses 700 dollars

One small correction about multi-gigabit gateways. Their ports may be 2.5 gigabit, the connection back to the cpu is still limited to 1 Gbps.

Thank you very much! Definitely much more than a beer! Bought it for you!

Great Idea to use Flint to provide Wireguard server. I have a problem in that my internet provider also provides my TV service and that means the primary router is theirs, and my flint is a secondary router that provides my original "old network ID 192.168.2.0". So how do I set up my DDS go thru to my secondary flint router. Doug

how is manually adjusting the direction of the dish better than it doing it automatically 🤣

Don't lose that key!

Great video! I just subscribed. Question for you. We are early in the build building a 2 story stretched out 6000 sq ft house. I want to use the ceiling mounted APs. My question is whether they radiate up or only down (or if power radiating up is significantly less). I’ve assumed they radiate mainly down, so I’m thinking of 3 on the top floor and two on the lower floor. If they are omnidirectional then I probably don’t need three on the top floor. Thanks!

What about the dream wall?

the 2.5g port on my UDM-SE died recently, managed to get it RMA'd but even on a replacement it's very unreliable when there's high bandwidth utilisation, it'll literally just drop out at times. I've had to opt for an SFP RJ45 Transceiver just to mitigate this issue. If I recall correctly the ethernet controller used is a Realtek 8125 which is notorious for being unreliable. Hope it's different in this model.

Thank you for reminding me about the Flex. We have a TPLink 5 port switch in our kitchen and I never liked having a power cord to feed to it alongside the Ethernet cable. For $29 I don’t have to.

Too late I already ordered the udm pro max, 24 pro max and u7 pro. Why? Because my house deserves the best and I have little self control

New to home assistant on raspberry pi, but I've came across some recommendations where they advise against using an SD card as that will ultimately stop working, but use SSD

I run my whole office on a little flex mini. Doesn’t miss a beat!

What about the dream router? You never even mentioned it. Poor little R2-D2

I have a woodgas generator on my boat (it's integrated in the warm water system) and can run my electric gen on woodgas. Electricity no problem! I have 1000w solar and 1200w wind power, and 3000ah NiFe batterybank.

Excellent explainer video, thanks!

I got annoyed about the ISP "quality" router that wasnt able to handle all the clients (ca 20 that is not massive considering IoT and a family where everyone has phone and comp) so 1st thing I tried was EOL enterprise firewall that makes my home network now. Then I got annoyed about the wifi coverage and got 2 U6+ APs to mesh the house and yard around it. At first planned to use them as a standalone but then found that its possible to add unify controller to my NAS via docker. Next steps are at some point to retire the FW and get the unify gateway and preferably switch to separate IoT network from general network.

Does POE is default turn off in switches? just not to fry something what not using it...
