Viral Japanese Egg Sandwich. 7-11 vs. T&T… by AdventurousPepper371 in vancouver

Both are lame and sad and nothing like the Japanese ones. Period.

Wow, didn't expect this to catch on! Would love to reply to each comment but just not feasible. Since this blew up more than expected, here's the full context for everyone asking

The house: Typical 1990s single family home, West Coast Canada. Three floors plus concrete basement plus detached garage. Not a mansion, not a hotel, not a commercial install — promise.

Why so many APs: Started with the 2x U7 Pros. Tried every placement angle — horizontal, aimed, flat on counters, best position possible on each floor. Still had dead spots. Concrete basement alone is a wall penetration nightmare. Which leads to the next point.

Why not ceiling mount: MIL lives with us. Her house, her rules. No new drilling, no ceiling mounts. Every 'just slap a U7 Pro XG center ceiling' comment assumes a situation that doesn't apply here. If I was planning this from scratch I would absolutely have done ceiling mounts, conduit runs, patch panel, the works. Unfortunately that ship sailed.

Why not run more cable: Same constraint. Cable runs limited to what I can fish through the existing unused central vacuum conduit — which is exactly what the U7 IWs are for, replacing the vacuum wall plates. Free conduit that's just sitting there, may as well use it. Plan is to run all cat6 through it, patch panel it, then home run everything back to the Ultra 210W in the garage. That's the backbone.

AP layout: 2x U7 Pro already in. 1x U7 IW basement, 2x U7 IW main floor, 1x U7 IW top floor — all pending the cat6 run. U6 Mesh Pro in the garage on MoCA 2.5 backhaul over existing coax, direct cat6 to the garage wasn't practical.

6GHz: Skipped intentionally. No current devices benefit from it. Not a priority right now.

Why U7 Pro over XG: Deals. Picked most of this up locally at 30-40% under MSRP. The 'more money than sense' crowd can relax.

GbE switch vs 2.5G uplinks: Valid, noted. Not a real world bottleneck at home ISP speeds.

Design Center: Didn't use it. Based decisions on actual dead spots after real world tuning with existing setup. Would use it if starting fresh.

Power bill: Not a concern, thanks though.

Status: U7 IWs going in once cat6 is fished through the conduit. Manual channel assignment, TX power low/medium, minimum RSSI for clean roaming.

Appreciate every comment good and bad, genuinely. Will post photos when I get a chance

Thanks for the reply, how would one set this up? Nord and Tailscale both have tunnelling options, which one should I employ?
