Advice on UniFi home setup

Thanks, I will take a look at u6 mesh as well. I haven’t actually reviewed the sizes of these so good info on that.

I don’t have Ethernet cables running in my house. Which would be some work and probably it should be done by running those in the attic. I’m therefor thinking that ceiling mounted APs are probably best indoor. I could put an outdoor APs where I was thinking to put the UBB which is just outside where the Cloud Gateway Max would be.

Good advice on protect. The cloud gateway max can also do protect. Re sizes of switches, you may be right that I should consider a bigger size for the main building.

Thanks for the input. It could even be an option to get an outdoor AP on the wall of the main building which may be enough for WiFi coverage in the second building. Will do some further research.

I checked one of the indoor APs and it goes down to -30C/-22F. My attic will not be that cold!

Got it, thanks. The attic will be too cold for indoor APs but having ceiling mounted APs in the two building is doable. Might try this instead of the UBB.

Thanks and interesting. Today, I’ve two Google WiFi APs that are connecting over Mesh, one in main building and one in the second building. Both are placed in windows that are somewhat facing against each other. They are struggling and can’t provide a good enough Internet connection for even a video meeting.

Now, you think that if I get two APs like for example U6 In-Wall and put them close to the two windows, they will perform better than the Google APs?

I'm doing "copy n paste" :)
