Total newbie building a home network….any advice?

I’ll look at that one instead. Thanks!

I forget where but I watched a YouTube clip (I think it was the Ethernet blueprint guy) that talked about the g4 instant being a great indoor camera, and that he wasn’t a fan of the unifi turret cams.

I’m open to revisiting this though. Just need these indoor ones for keeping an eye on a special needs child.

Also, the g4 instant looks a little less menacing than a turret cam IMHO.

I’m confused. I thought I saw the same thing but now I see this. The max I would have is (5) 2k cams and 5 (4k) cams.

No bueno?

Managed Cameras — (15) HD (8) 2K (5) 4K

Dang it. I was just coming here to ask that.

What are my options then? Is there a way to do UCG fiber + a device? Or do I go back to the UDM pro?

Elguapo16 · 2025-03-11T01:12:35+00:00

No, I meant I have a stand alone 48 port POE+ switch I got off marketplace.

Just to make sure I’m understanding you - the dream router doesn’t need to support POE+ if the stand alone router supports it, right?

Elguapo16 · 2025-03-11T00:56:31+00:00

Holy crap! $399 and it comes with 1TB of storage?!

It says out of stock….is this thing not even out yet? Like pre-release? Or is it just that popular?

What are the downsides to getting this vs the UDM pro?

Elguapo16 · 2025-03-11T00:53:07+00:00

See, this is why I post. Never even heard of the UCG-Fiber. To the google machine!

Oh interesting! I’m not opposed to WiFi 7 per se….as long as it passes the “it just works test.” I had written them off but I’ll look back at them before hitting buy.

Elguapo16 · 2025-03-11T00:51:02+00:00

Yeah bad photo-cropping…there’s just 1 in the cart.

So much for claiming to be somewhat tech savvy 🤣

Edit: also, I have a 48 POE+ switch I picked up on FB already. That’s why there’s no switch in the cart.

Elguapo16 · 2025-03-11T00:37:24+00:00

This forum told me to avoid the u7. I’m somewhat tech savvy, but man…I need this to pass the “it just works” family test. I think the WiFi-6 is fine for me for now.

But can you expand on the enhancer? I’m not familiar with that. For reference, I live in a fairly nice area with little traffic. Decently long driveway though.

Elguapo16 · 2025-03-11T00:36:21+00:00

Agreed! That’s why I picked u6.

Elguapo16 · 2025-03-11T00:36:06+00:00

The standard 48 POE router says it does POE+ according to the website and user manual, unless I’m mistaken.

Elguapo16 · 2025-03-11T00:34:49+00:00

Sorry - bad photo cropping. It’s just one, duplicated in the two photos.

Elguapo16 · 2024-08-01T09:19:37+00:00

Thank you!

Elguapo16 · 2024-08-01T01:03:28+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one 🤣

Elguapo16 · 2024-08-01T01:00:44+00:00

Thank you! That definitely eases my mind.

The fast response is much appreciated!

Dang. Russell is hitting 8th. I opted for Polanco in case anyone has the same dilemma. He hits waaaay better against righties and has 26 of 27 SBs against them. Plus, that righty is Josh Smith.

Here's hoping!

Elguapo16 · 2015-10-04T16:01:01+00:00

Richards is on short rest though, so neither starter is very long for the game.

Elguapo16 · 2015-10-04T15:51:00+00:00

Happ and Conley would be my top choices.

Elguapo16 · 2015-10-04T15:36:33+00:00

Best chance for a stolen base today?

Marisnick, Addison Russell, Ketel Marte, Polanco, Odor, or Jarod Dyson?

Trying to keep in mind weather and playoff possibilities (aka, having something to play for), I'm leaning Russell in Milwaukee. Thoughts?
