2 Users, assume at least 10 devices connected at all time.
Light data, just typical home usage, with streaming of videos and music. Occasional conference calls, this is crucial for me.
will be using unifi 100mbps package.

I have checked out a couple of routerboard, wondering if Gigabit ethernet is a must or i can live without it?

Thanks : )

my pov..gigabit ethernet always give u advantages... especially streaming between 2 devices... not talking about internet backbone...
because occasional conference calls... gigabit definetly help.
me myself also occasional conference calls user.. i had experienced using just megabit tot gigabit is not necessary.. but hey.. im alone the user 🤣

Thank you for the feedback, however, isnt the ISP the bottleneck for conference call? gigabit would be helpful for transferring of data within the network right?
Sorry, not really a IT geek read abit but totally cannot understand most of it.

I think the new hex will handle it no sweat. Its mikrotik, even their sub 1ghz single core can handle gigabit easy.

Are you referring to this? Thanks.

Thats hex s, which comes with sfp port if u need one. Theres one called hex(also known as rb750gr3) and it has the same exact internal without sfp port. And also its a boring white. Ultimately its the same thing but cheaper without the sfp port. Hex is arnd rm30-rm40 cheaper than hex s. So basically its your call. Cheers

Hi Sifu,

I'm interested to buy Ubiquiti NanoHD and have someone install it for me.

This will be for home usage and I will ask the technician to pull some wire.

Question is where and what does the technician need to pull? Is it from the port that Unifi installed for the Fibre optics?

Also, do I need to buy any POE Switch in advance to power up the POE line?

Sorry for noobie question as I've been reading up but still have these few questions before purchasing one.

You need to plug into your current router.
Eg: Fiber > CPE > Router > PoE Injector > Nano HD

Ubiquiti NanoHD should come with the PoE injector, so PoE switch is not a must.

Hope it helps.

why not just ask the technician to mount and terminate it for you? much easier.... if 1 or 2 units... just use poe adapter that comes with it..

hex s is quite good. I am using hex s for connecting site to site ipsec vpn connection from my home to my office. not to say it has 256mb ram quite good for caching.

have that technician install the NanoHD for you also. if you around cyberjaya I can come help configure your nanoHD but I think you also can configure it using guides from youtube.

last time maybe.. these days.. so far no issue.. more upload... even much better.... yes... very helpful transferring data..

If money is not and issue go for RB 4011 with the wifi otherwise hap ac2 would be sufficient

Thanks buddy. I've not used a PoE injector before but your flow does help.

Now to the part about laying cables. Anyone by any chance with contacts that can help pull from the 2nd floor of a 2-storey house to the middle point of ground floor? in Johor Bahru area.

Thanks.

Thanks for the offer buddy!

Unfortunately I'm from Johor Bahru

Let's see how we go when I get it.

Hi all, im planning to upgrade my wifi due to the pingstrike to my mobile game. currently on time 100mbps plan & using the tplink c1200 as router and 5g ap and a asus rt-n18u as 2.4g ap.
if i change to edge router x + ap ac pro will it solve the pingstrike issue? is the sqm useful? i found the qos on the tplink router is shit. kinda useless.

Sqm is definitely a work of magic. Not really, but it really is work of art. In this case, u look like u need a better ap more than router. But ofcourse the combination of both will definitely be better. Qos on tp-link or any consumer branded router are incomparable with sqm imo.

even vpn doesnt work stable on those tplink or dlink... talk about qos... far beyond their quality... only good for normal2 use...

so is the edge router x + ap ac pro, a good combination?
how about comparing unifi nano hd & ap ac pro, which is better?
can i put the ap on the shelf? i cant mount it on the ceiling as I'm renting this place.

my home is 1400sqf condo, the green color area is the current location that i put my router, if i put the ap at this same area. can the 5g cover the whole house?

haha, sometimes normal use also hard. the wifi speed is very unstable. cant even load youtube smoothly.

true.... archer C7 tplink... monitor it for 9hours... there is unstable packet and suddenly lost packet between this hours... geez..
