Drywall is not really an issue. Have you read this article? I have recently replaced my access points with the Wifi 6 models and did some speeds test before and after. Lite 6 doesn’t have much trouble with two drywalls.
Statement: "Usw gen 2 switches does not provide 24v passive POE. They only provide 802.3af/at. You probably have older ac lites which does not support 802.3af. Newer ac lites can be powered by either 24v passive or 802.3af."The antenna design of the HD is different compared to the other UniFi access points. It’s designed to cover a lot of clients in a small area. So the wireless network won’t spread as far as the other access points. Keep that in mind when you are placing the UniFi HD. Considering the Wifi 6 lite OR the Wifi 6 pro (two AP’s to start with for coverage) and the price for them are so close I am having trouble deciding. Just throwing this out there, when you tried the two different APs, did you also confirm that a computer plugged into the switch with the same cable is able to get the full speed, I am wondering if your cabling between the switch and AP can handle GB or if it is only able to do 10/100?
At the moment of writing the first UniFi access point that supports the new WiFi standard 6E. This means that it has a 6 GHz channel besides the 2.4 and 5ghz channels. The access point only has a single 2.5 Gbps ethernet port. This means that you will need to connect it to a 10Gbit switch to fully benefit the throughput of WiFi 6E mainly is focused on simultaneous clients. If you want to use the Ubiquity Controller software, then don't use the app that is available on iOS or Android to configure the AP's. You will need to factory reset them if you do. Atleast one accesspoint per floor. Depending on the layout, you can place a single access point in the hall on each floor, signals will travel pretty well through the doors. Concrete walls can be an issue, which you can solve with an additional in-wall ac. I discovered that Ubiquiti has a UniFi Cloud Key that runs the UniFi Controller software. Although I haven't tried one yet, I suspect that using it with the UAP's would make setup much easier, as setting up a computer and all that it entails is not necessary. What killed it for me was when I did more research it came out that the Google WiFi systems are actually a router and while it is capable of being put into what they call "bridged" mode, where it essentially behaves just as a regular Access Point only WiFi device with no routing functionality... You end up loosing most of the cool functionality they show in the videos. That made it pointless, as being a Systems Engineer by profession, I demand more control of my systems. There was also the uncool tendency of Google just abandoning a project they feel isn't worth it anymore for them (either it's not making them any money or who knows, maybe they just lost interest). While I've had a great experience with my two (1 first gen, 2nd newer) Chromecast, I've had other Google products that become fundamentally defunct due to Google choosing to no longer support them way before I feel I am done with the device. And something like my WiFi I typically buy and it gets used for 5 years or so, I wasn't comfortable with the very real possibility of Google abandoning it just because THEY felt it was too old, before I felt the same way.The distance from my condo to the parking spot is not so long, about 40 meters. Meanwhile high density WiFi add lots of interferences so my target spot has very weak signal even with outdoor AP devices having direct vision. Well crap...sometimes we miss the things in our faces. 1) the light where the AP is connected to indicates the link speed - it is double amber (POE & 100mbps). 2) in the unifi controller under the AP is the Uplink Wired section, which confirms the negotiated speed is FE (100mbps). If you are sure that the Unifi Controller is available at https://unifi then we need to look further. A possible issue can be that the Access Point was connected to another controller or that the device was removed from this controller.
Not everybody can mount their access points to the ceiling or wall. That is where the Unifi FlexHD comes in. This small and sleek design allows you to place insight, on a cabinet for example. It’s also possible to buy a ceiling or wall mount for the Flex HD. I was running a Netgear wireless router with 1gb spectrum copper service. From that "old router" on ethernet get 900-930mb/s consistently, while on wifi get 800-930mb/s consistently. But, if you want to go with option B, the UniFi Cloud Key is an excellent choice I've found. This will also allow you to log into the controller via any web interface or through your Phone and get the same features. Like I said - phone management works fine, but setup doesn't work so fine on iOS. So if you want the full features with a no-nonsense setup, for advanced users - this is a good way to go. The Pro has WiFI 6 on both bands (2.4 and 5Ghz) where the lite and LR only have WiFi 6 on 5Ghz. So that might explain the speed improvement on the 2.4Ghz band.These are not as easy to set up as a typical wireless AP. With IT experience, I had them up and running in a day using the Ubiquiti Controller software on an older laptop running Windows 10. And configured the way I liked within a few days. To correct my errors he Reset the settings and set the controller network. Than he added the device as controller assisted access point. Have you ruled out cabling? The computer that gets expected speeds, was it plugged into the same port as the APs? I would take both a computer and AP and plug directly into the switch with a short patch cable into the same port one after the other. If they get different speeds there then it may be a config issue. I suspect a cabling issue or a bad port before that though. At the moment of writing, you can buy almost 20 different access points from Ubiquiti. There are also 3 new models available in the early access store. That is a lot to choose from, so we are going to divide the different models into groups. The Unifi 6 Pro is the next-generation high-performance access point for home and enterprise users. It’s capable of reaching 4.8 Gbps over the air with the 4×4 5Ghz channel, ensuring a reliable and fast wireless network connection in dense environments.
To reset the access point to factory settings you will need to hold the button for at least 5 seconds. Power Method:- Passive Power over Ethernet (48V)- 802.3af/802.3at Supported (Supported Voltage Range: 44 to 57VDC)The controller is the home laptop with installed Unifi windows software. I don’t need to keep him running always. That is just professional tools to supervise and manage professional Access Point. I am looking to extend the WiFi coverage of my company. We currently have installed 3 Ubiquiti devices (x3 Unifi UAP-AC-Pro, x1 Unifi UAP-AC-LR) on 2.4GHz radio. I am planning to change to only 5GHz radio due to the on going interference issue with 2.4 radio, from our customer’s 2.4 WiFi network. Could you advise which models we should go to cover the entire manufacturing building of 80,000sqf? Ik heb mijn controller geïnstaleerd op een PI. Alle AP’s waren eerst met een controller verbonden op Windows 10 (daar werkte alles) . Ik probeer dus te migreren. The specification of the access point look great, and the mounting options are really versatile (desktop, wall, pole, and ceiling)
Great Deal
