hey guys
i want to keep multiple accounts in a single house
since the btu is downstairs that means i have to move my router downstairs and connect it to the btu which already has another router connected to it. will it work fine? if so then basically i need to get a wifi adaptor to connect it with my desktop upstairs right? is there a better way that i can connect my router to my pc directly but still keep the btu downstairs? (other than a long ass ethernet cable) i'd rather have the wifi settings on my router off for security and stability purposes. thanks!
When you mean Multiple accounts. You mean multiple UniFi account (2 bills, 2 numbers, 2 set of equipments)??? Or what?
I presume... You're just trying to extend the connection to upstair which there is a second router there.
You got many ways to bridge up the two routers. The first one, LAN cable, you already mentioned. But this is connected to the router after BTU, not directly to BTU. Second, Homeplug as mentioned by rattan. Third, if your router supports, wireless bridge. If you bridge up the wireless, you can just connect your PC upstair to the router upstair when the router be the adaptor to connect to the router downstair.
Wifi settings on your router off... I don't quite get this. Security isn't a big issue if you set up correctly and you know how to monitor it from time to time to see if anyone broken into your wifi network. After all your devices connected to the wireless network, you can even set it as invisible so that ppl that doesn't know your wifi SSID can't even access it as they can't even see it. Stability wise, I think so far so good for me. Not using given router though. Using 841ND as recommended by klseet.

http://www.aztech.com/my/homeplug_hl109e.htmlI'm still thinking about what he mean multiple account. I suspect it's two unifi account instead of just extending the network upstair.

from my phone to facebook even updating status takes too long..
connection on my phone is very bad but on my pc everything is good..
Try to dig into your router setting and set the bandwidth to 20MHz instead of auto(20/40)(should be something like this). If it's still unstable, maybe you can limit your phone to connect at just 802.11G(54Mbps). In some cases, it will be much stable. Anyway, unless you're streaming through wifi from your computer hdd or transferring between computers, you don't ever need 802.11n full potential of 300Mbps. 54Mbps never be the bottleneck for UniFi(highest 20Mbps).
The last resort, replace the default router. Refer www.klseet.com
