Some comparison reviews here for unifi vs time.

For gaming yes dl matters for downloading game r.g. battlenet, steam because not always people buy physical discs, it's all on the dev game platform to download. Or like game patches.

But more often latency is the most often felt feature. So fiber broadband and good routing helps for this for low latency gaming.

So based on that, I went with cheapest, for me was 100 Mbps unifi. When I compare to faster download speeds, just mean have to wait longer for download to complete. But for latency this has no issue. So that's how I should look at it as a gamer.

are u by chance using wifi?

because unless ur wifi (wifi 6e or 7 with 1 Gbps or better throughput over wifi) is good, i wouldnt be surprised if u not get the full 1Gbps dl speed.

If u r using wired this is less likely to be the issue, and probably something else.

if ur using wifi, check the reviews what thoroughput u can expect from it. also try test using wired see if ur broadband improve. use a speed test website to check ur speed.

if ur testing wifi only, use a self hosted app like speedtest to see if wifi is ur issue.


for myself i am only using 100 mbps /50 mbps. already tested no issue. but the higher u go, the more bottlenecks u run across. its figuring which it is. ur wifi? the isp? bad ethernet cables? or something else.

i found this for u. related?

my own solution, dont use intel cpu. my recent cpu purchases were all amd ryzen. less problems than intel

500 Mbps for rm90, how long pay rm90? is it limited time then it will revert back to normal price?

also only for those users whos 2 year contract expire already is it?



also i'm wondering, for 1GBPS or 2GBPS is your wifi good enough to hit those speeds? If wired then is non issue. But the 2 GBPS you would need a multi gig setup. Did you prep your networking equipment to handle those speeds basically? (router, switch, desktop/laptop, wifi ap)

I used 2.4 and 5ghz for my guest network.


For my understanding only 2 can be selected atm. 3 wont work afaik.

tested with s24 ultra and tplink eap-773


to confirm it works, used wifiman and there it will say that the connection is mlo. You can also see u are connect to both 2.4 and 5ghz


others also noted this



https://www.snbforums.com/threads/mlo-perfo...itations.90680/


i also at some point where 5ghz was not working but i did not realize at the time. i fixed it (tested working), but i forgot what i did. I think it may have had to do with selecting the bands max 2 while mlo was enabled.

so i got 2 ssid's.

1 for private wifi (2.4 + 6ghz mlo), other for guest network and iots (2.4 + 5ghz)



i think when i tried to do 2.4 + 5+ 6 (select all 3 for a single ssid with mlo enabled), this didn't work as 5ghz no longer worked if i did that when mlo enabled if not mistaken.

i have no idea when and if its possible for all 3 of these to be enabled when using mlo later on

notice in the first screenshot is says mlo enabled. also u can see both 5 and 6ghz are shown here meaning it's connected to those 2 bands simultaneously using mlo.











i just double checked, seems i got 2.4 / 5 /6 ticked with mlo enabled for one of the ssid.

when check on wifiman, ONLY 5 and 6ghz is connected simultaneously using mlo. NOT 2.4

So i think if u had an issue similar to mine last time, i think u would need to only select 2 not 3 of these wifi bands. Because last time at some point, 5ghz was not working and i didn't notice when this happened.


not using rssi. ofmda not enabled for 2.4 cause i think there was some conflict for some old iot device. but only for 2.4 as 5 and 6 had ofmda enabled.

band steering not enabled.




my guest only has 2.4 and 5ghz band enabled only. my iot devices non support 6ghz anyway




in pfsense i also have avahi setup, so i can talk to iot on the 2.4 on a separate vlan (to on/off iot light). didnt work on reolink doorbell cam for some reason, so i have to directly move to the guest wifi to be able to access reolink



for anyone interested to know what wifi7 does for them (note: both client need wifi7 support otherwise u probably wont benefit from these improvements)

reason i assumed i had set it to 5/6 only, not all 3 band, was because of a issue i had previously where 5ghz was not working.

one of my solutions at the time was only using 2 bands. so ssid 1, used 5/6, and ssid 2, used 2.5/5

but here, seems my ssid 1, uses 2.4/5/6. but EVEN THEN, u can see that mlo is only connecting to 5/6.

so mlo is confirmed only work for 2 bands, not 3.


anyway i might have later enabled all 3 bands with mlo enabled in setting at some point, but since it more or less works, i'll leave it as is

new tmnut install this year. i think my box is skyworth. has working ipv6 but i use cloudflare dns NOT the isp dns

tested here
https://test-ipv6.com


i use pfsense for router so had to do the settings for it which is not so simple for pfsense, but there is a guide on this forum about how to do it (if u use something like an asus off the shelf router, its far simpler since they got a setting for unifi that fills all the details to get ipv6 working straight away)

is that a torrent app telling u got issue for notification ?


this is yours right?


https://www.minitool.com/lib/wdc-wd10ezex.html


https://www.unbxtech.com/2017/08/review-wd-...1tb-10ezex.html


reviews say this typically can get to 150 MB/s read/write speeds and has a 64MB cache.

oo no wonder. i never used that before

for your setup, would that work for solar from balcony?

and how much for that setup?

how do you setup the MCB to add this to your power grid to hook up the BTU router etc?

Is that enough power for truenas server and a gaming desktop pc? 24/7 ?

If the power in the battery run out, can it seamlessly switch back to using the main power?


More interested to use for powering off solar, rather than as a backup. Maybe when i was in Sabah may have needed many years ago (lots of power cuts). But more interested in directly powering devices direct off solar

why? whats going on?

was wondering why internet not working.

but when i enable mullvad vpn it worked fine. probably because for dns i use the mullvad dns rather than cloudflare. then found this news as to why






for me i had a fallback which i could easily toggle. but others? they'd have to go into their routers, chance the dns to google (if they were using cloudflare dns) to get working internet.

alternative dns? quad9 maybe? not sure what else
