Hey guys,

I'm looking for some advices here. A little bit of a background, I am currently living in a condo with TIME Fiber 500 Mbps internet, using a Netgear Nighthawk R8500 as my main router, with a Ubiquiti AC-LR to extend the range to the farthest bedrooms. Right now, I am taping down the ethernet cable on the floor and ceiling from the router to the AP.

Two things are about to happen in the near future; moving into a new condo (renting a bigger unit, may potentially potentially pose a bigger issue for Wi-Fi), and getting married. As such, I am in search of a more aesthetically pleasing solution than my current one, as the new setup will have to be wife-approved and not the cincai solution it is now haha. This is where I need help from you guys.

I have been looking at a few of the Wi-Fi mesh systems, especially the AmplifiHD and the eeros, but both seem to have their own issues, and neither have official support in Malaysia.

So now I am back to thinking of going full Unifi (or maybe Mikrotik or Ruckus???) setup, but then comes the question of how do I hide all the ethernet cables? Any of you have experience with this, especially in rented properties? Would appreciate any help I can get

Amplifi HD u want the normal or gaming edition if serious buyer i can arrange

Does the gaming edition really have better hardware/software to offer better performance or is it just simply prioritising gaming devices (QoS basically)? In either case, can PM me your prices for both.

A question I have with these Mesh systems though. Will I be able to saturate my 500Mbps connection? Also, does the roaming feature work well?

I'm still open to and looking for ideas on how to implement a proper Unifi setup in a rented apartment with nice cable management that can get the wife's approval. So if any of you have experience with what sort of hardware I need and stuff, please share with me.

Actually it depend on ur budget , how much is u willing to spend ?

For the network cable management and routing? I'm not sure what's the going price for that is haha I think my current equipments should be good enough to sufficiently cover a 1,500 square foot apartment, so will just need to lay down the ethernet cable properly from the main router (which will probably be in the living room beside the TV area) to the Unifi AP (which will probably be stuck on the ceiling in the hallway to cover the bedrooms). My guess would be about 20 meters of Ethernet cable (even that is probably too much).

Any ideas or estimates on how much would that cost to get done? Or maybe some ideas on how to DIY it and where to get the required parts.

you want to setup on your rented house? if u want nice cable management, get a rack. plus it is more safer and secure if any rented people wanted to steal the device lol.

Nice cable management will only help inside the rack itself haha my question was how to manage and hide the ethernet cable running from the living room to the ceiling in the hallway as nicely as possible lol

Guys,

Need some insight as I'm a real newbie in networking.

Anyhow, I bought 1 UBNT POE Switch and 3 unit of AP's to replace my workplace old Cisco AP. At the moment, the current config is:

Fortigate > Cisco POE Switch > AP

On the Cisco POE Switch, I saw VLAN 1 is for office network and VLAN 2 is for guest network; how do I do the same on UBNT switch?

Thank you so much. Hope get some insight from here.

Which UBNT switch? the US (white) or ES(black)?

If ES, just trunking do T,U on the switch port by GUI / CLI, its the same.
if US, you may need controller to manage it first, then you create vlan on network section(only vlan)

It's US Switch.

Now my config is:

Can't get any IP

You need create another vlan routing under network tab.. this is under wireless.

There's a second picture in the link boss. Do review it please.

guys, I was wondering, can connect unifi line to something like ubiquiti usg pro 4? thru sfp port (mayb like a transceiver)

or must use edgerouter
