Hi, would like to ask alll sifus here. How is the coverage for unifi within a single storey of 40x70ft(got wall in between)? Do I need any gadget to power the transmission? Since I've never use wifi before, I don't know if the signal is weak or strong. Please advise.

You may need a repeater. I'm using my old router as switch/wifi repeater by disabling it's DHCP function.

DO NOT DISABLE YOUR UNIFI ROUTER DHCP. I'm talking about if you have an extra or old router that you are not using and turn it into a wifi repeater. Here's a good guide:

Then this is wired? I thought Unifi can use wireless so I can go anywhere with my laptop within 1000 sq ft...

Ya, the downside of this is you have to have wires connection to that particular repeater. But from that repeater onwards, you'll have a whole new range of wifi zone. I have LAN ports pre-installed during renovation of my house, so it's not much of a problem for me as I can just connect the wifi repeater to these LAN ports which is connected with the Unifi router.

I think the Chip mag May issue has a very good guide on this topic along with a very easy to understand diagram.

I don't have his mag sweat.gif So, usually how far can unifi cover if without repeater?
