upgrading network and need some help

[Dybre]

Hello,

 

I'm looking to replace the crappy time warren cable wifi router some High end gear.  Does anyone know the good and bad about Ubiquiti Network gear. Here is what I'm looking at.

and

Everything I have read so far looks to be easy to setup, just wondering if anyone has run in to problems that would keep you away from these.

 

Thanks for the help.

I had good experience with the brand, but why do you need those? You'd probably be better off with a typical router likethis unless you need directional long range

I need a wireless that can handle over 50 clients and good coverage, I have used 3 different big box store routers and all had poor speeds, coverage or just worked like crap

Ubiquiti UniFi stuff is what you want. I replaced all of my crappy APs and routers with them and they just work 100% without any issues or headaches. Linus did a nice review on their higher end APs a while back but I use their cheaper ones (the ones that go in the wall) and they work amazing for all of my devices (about 10-15). I even turned off the wireless on my router in the middle of my house because the Ubiquiti APs cover the whole house and have a strong signal in the same area as my router.

FYI wireless uses token ring style access. your better off having more AP's (depending on how crowded your signals are) that have shorter range as you add more clients. If it was just one or two clients i'd say go with the LR version, otherwise you might get better performance grabbing the 3 pack.

Ordered 2 Ubiquiti Networks Unifi 802.11ac Dual-Radio PRO Access Points. plan to put one on each side of the house, house is 2700sf  I'm hoping this will be enough coverage.

Can confirm. Pretty good prosumer / SMB products. No regrets for the purchase  I grabbed an edgerouter poe and an ac lr. Pretty happy so far.
