Got an email from Unifi last night about Mesh Wifi. They are charging RM 15/month to improve wifi coverage in the home. Worth it?

QUOTE(Jjuggler @ Jul 7 2020, 06:47 AM) Thanks for the quote, Brother FusionXY, I am one of a few (or many.....users who already receive the unit from unifi even before the #MCO itself. So speaking of the performance of the M4, I can say, for an entry-level mesh system, Deco M4 is definitely worth it. The only problem is, I already asked unifi if, it is possible to buy the unit from them via cash, yet they insisted on a subscription basis and I am tied up with a separate (not affecting the main account ya) contract for the next 19 months. You can either refer to my personal review or refer to brother blacktubi's review on his experience using this unit. Speaking about wireless coverage, well, i am only using a single Deco m4 unit (another one I kept in the box for the future use in case if this one went kaput) and surprisingly, the Deco M4 able to cover the entire double-storey house and I can even get signal from the road located in front of the house. Do note that my purpose of getting the Deco M4 from unifi to make the Deco M4 work as an access point since I am using EdgeRouter 6P as the internet gateway. If you are looking to make the Deco M4 as the main router, its better to buy a decent performance entry-level ax router. M4 not really good when it comes to be used as a router+mesh due to lack of features, what you can expect from a unit powered by a single-core qualcomm processor? It should be sufficient for basic internet use if you opt to use as router+mesh. How many units provided by Unifi?I've placed my Deco M4 at the upstairs and image (poor quality image) as for your own reference. [attachmentid=10530682] EDIT: Managed to order an unit of TP-Link TX3000E PCIe Wireless Adapter Wireless adapter for under a good price. |

Just ordered an AX73 router. I have been doing some research online about how to set it up with Digi Fibre. I know I have to connect the modem to the router with the provided cable but when I start to configure it, do I have to connect the router to the PC via ethernet cable or will it appear wirelessly in my browser?
