Hi Sifu here,
I am moving into a new double storey terrace house where my relative next to my door already with Unifi. I plan to share the wifi with him and share the bill monthly.
Appreciate your advise if this is possible and what are the device i need to boost the wifi signal just in case? i have heard of repeater, extender, mesh? Which is more suitable for me for my purpose?

Mesh WiFi will give you the best performance. But they don’t come cheap though

saw the video on the setup where the setup is done through installing apps in phone.
will the wifi works after setup if the phone is not in the house? In other words, does the mesh wifi rely on the said phone?
or the apps can be deleted and even the phone owner not in the house, the family member still can use the wifi without problem?
sorry for the dumb question.....

if you care to get the  same speed  as your unifi subscription  then
drill  and use a LAN cable  thru the walls . . set AP mode  on the second wireless router. 

All other solutions  i think you will lose speed .

lose speed due to use of wifi? if on LAN cable speed will be maintained?
