Is a Unifi wireless uplink the best option in this situation?
Richywilson replied to Richywilson's topic in Networking
Not too much metal, this place is mostly wood, there is a screen between it though, not too much interference, The AP is flat but on a desk so not ideal but i can't properly mount it due to the house situation, -

Yup and also checked with Dr Wifi to check for the deadspots -

They run on 2.4ghz, Do you think its the 60% experience that would be the problem? Also would i get any speed reduction from the main wired AC Pro or just the AC lite? -
Hey everyone, I live in a one bedroom apartment which is only roughly 13 large steps long however I'm facing issues with connectivity on my Unifi system. Currently I have a USG, 8 port switch and AC Pro all in the corner of my apartment behind my computer in my living room and I've noticed that the Sonoff s22 smart plugs on other end of the apartment in my bedroom get roughly 60% wifi experience and occasionally drop off which are obstructed by a wall and are located under my bed and behind a side table so I thought about putting a AC Lite in eyesight of the AC Pro to get better coverage. I'm aware that the AC Pro should be on the roof and that a wired connection to the second access point would be better however as I'm renting I don't have the ability to drill to get the cables through so the best i can do is have the AC pro desk mounted and a wireless uplink in my room. Do you think this is the best option for now or am I possibly attributing the drop offs falsely to the experience?

Thanks for your help

Sadly there's no way to get an ethernet cable into this room without drilling. What's your thoughts on fire tablets, segregated or fine on the main wan?
-
Damn, Is this unique to echo devices or do you think it would apply to things like the Fire Tablet as well? They don't really need speed as they're just smart switches but with the signal dropping to 60% at times, it's a lot lower than everything else. They did drop off to 0% a few times last night but i had just rebuilt the network so I'm assuming that was just because everything was newly setup. My previous setup (before i lost everything because i forgot to back it up and did a system reset of my pc) seemed to be pretty solid. The downside of using the software controller.

Sweet and last but not least. I currently have smartplugs in my room (About 20m from the AC Pro) which are hidden under my bed and thus only receive roughly 60-70% signal strength. I've been thinking about using the wireless uplink feature to put a AC lite at a location in my room to get a better signal to them. I understand this will have a speed impact because its effectively like a mesh but would that have a speed impact when connecting to AC pro as well or just the ac lite or am i going a bit overboard considering they do still get a connection. I've been weighing that up for a few months.

Damn I did not know about that. Does that extend to lan amazon products like the Cube? sweet, sounds like chucking them on the IOT network will do the trick. I also have a phone that i can't give updates to because the latest updates disable a feature on the phone I use which i presume makes the phone more of a security risk. As a result, would you recommend chucking this onto the segregated IOT network as well? Currently its on its own.
-
I'm using a Unifi setup, following the below tutorial. So do you reckon i should isolate the amazon echos as well? I also have a fire cube connected via ethernet which I don't think is possible to segregate or if that's needed

Hey everyone I'm in the process of segregating my IOT smart home devices onto their own network. These are mostly the cheaper devices which I assume have less security behind them like sonoff smart switches, broadlink minis, b-hyve smart sprinklers, kogan kettles etc and because this network is only 2.4ghz, I've chucked my Ring doorbell camera on there as well. My question is, should I be including my Amazon echos in this? I have presumed up to this point that they likely have better security than my cheaper devices so I've let them sit on my main 5ghz network along with my laptop and phone but should I be creating a separate 5ghz network purely for them to isolate them from the main network or am i being a bit paranoid here? Cheers

Just tested it, with the new ram in by itself, same issue. It won't start.

I7 6700K Noctua NH-U12S Gigabyte GA Z170X Gigabyte GTX 1070 EVGA G2 750W 80+ gold psu The computer tries to turn on with all 4 sticks in but just keeps rebooting without even loading up the initial screen with the bios option.

Hey everyone, I was looking to upgrade my pc so I purchased some more ram after noticing i had two slots left. The original two sticks I have are the Mushkin Blackline 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory but they weren't on sale so instead I got Crucial Ballistix Sport LT ASUS TUF Edition 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 2666, upon trying to plug them in the computer won't start properly. Is this because the original is 2400 and the later 2666? I didn't think to check at the time of purchase so I'm assuming I've just wasted a bit of money. If they're not compatible, can someone tell me which is better and I guess I'll need to purchase two more of that type so they're all the same.
