      For your wireless network.

      • RichieVn on 07/08/2020 - 15:59

        what difference is it to a wireless modem you get from say TPG or Belong? does it emit wireless a bit better than the standard router?

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 07/08/2020 - 16:17

          Yes but it's not a simply plug and play, they need to be configured with a controller

            @DoesntEvenMatter: The UDM however is the controller in it's case.

            Also you can't detach the UDM from it's own controller. Problematic if you already have your own controller on the network, as you'll have to migrate them all over to the UDM's controller.

          Useful for big houses or lots of local network traffic. For my household of 3 my cheap $59 750Mbps router does the job (100Mbit WAN and LAN ports, so it won't support gigabit or 250Mbit connections) , mind you this is a medium sized apartment and at most 2 of us are doing anything bandwidth heavy. For bigger houses with more people this can be useful.

        • MikeKulls on 08/08/2020 - 08:53

          They are a wireless access point only, you still need to use a modern and connect these via ethernet. You then turn the wireless off in your modem

  • Broos on 07/08/2020 - 15:52

    Should I buy the Dream Machine (or two, for a mesh network) or the Amplifi Alien?
    Edit: I have a gigabit connection. It looks like the DM tops out at 850Mbps.

    • srsparky on 07/08/2020 - 15:59
      +5

      You wouldn't buy two dream machines - you would get a dream machine and an access point (AC-Pro NanoHD etc).

      I think the UDM Pro works for gig connections.

    • Twix on 07/08/2020 - 17:32
      +3

      UDM does around 850 Mbps with QoS, IDS and IPS enabled and the UDM can do around 950 Mbps depending on which of those settings you have on or off. UDM is wifi 5 and has the whole UniFi operating system. With this you can use the basic settings or deep dive into networking. If you can't wait purchase a UDM.

      Alien is wifi 6 and about the most you can do with AmpliFi products is port forward, DHCP server and set static IPs. It's good for those who don't want to play with much settings. If you can wait a few months the Alien might show up in Oz and yep you need minimum two Aliens for a mesh network.

      • Broos on 07/08/2020 - 21:18

        Are there any better Ubiquiti devices or systems that will get me closer to that 1Gbps?

        • Twix on 07/08/2020 - 21:36

          You're not going to get much closer to 1Gbps no matter what router you choose.

          • Broos on 07/08/2020 - 21:43

            @Twix: The Alien is supposedly rated for 1.3Gbps. I don't know which settings are used to achieve those speeds, though. I'm using ethernet on the devices I seek to reach the highest speeds with the lowest latency.

            • Twix on 07/08/2020 - 22:07

              @Broos: Alien and NBN NTD is limited to 1G. To reach speed over 1G the NBN need to upgrade the NTD, release faster speed options and you must have a router with 2.5G WAN port. You're doing the best you can by using ethernet.

        • a b i on 08/08/2020 - 05:47
          +2

          Important to remember that it does 850 with IPS enabled. With IDS, you’d get better throughput. And indeed the full gigabit if you have neither. In any case, with a gigabit connection QoS would turned off by default (if you need to restrict bandwidth, you could always use vlan to classify your network devices).

  • Garbotoxin on 07/08/2020 - 16:00

    I have an AC68U running upstairs with a data port available to my downstairs ceiling - which of these should I consider?

    The devices downstairs can reach the upstairs router without problems for the most part on the 2.4Ghz, but I'd like to use the 5Ghz channels if possible.

    Probably be used for things like the TV, Shield, Nintendo Switch, PS4, etc - think it boils down to whether the LITE or LR version is the one to buy in my situation

    • skyva on 07/08/2020 - 17:08

      depends on the size of the house. I use a ac68u with an ac pro, but I live on a farm.

      I think for a few devices the ac lite would be fine. I would be inclined to get the pro just because I know the number of devices I have will grow and I want headroom. I also think the pro has better range, up there with the ac lr. I don't think the LR has better 5ghz range, only 2.4ghz range, but I haven't checked recently.

      Mind you, I have switched off my wireless on the ac68u as I have multiple unifi AP's and moving between them is fine. Not sure how they go moving between the ac68u and unifi ap when roaming.

    • jaypeee on 07/08/2020 - 20:24

      Just get another asus thingy and crank Aimesh?

      • Punknerd on 08/08/2020 - 14:24

        Not sure how Unifi manage their APs. I have Aimesh set up and it's disappointing. The node acts more like an extender. I have them connected via ethernet back haul. So at any given time there are 4 APs (2 5ghz and 2 2.4ghz) the controller doesn't optimise the connection quickly enough so there's always a few seconds of "which AP should I connect to"

        • Twix on 08/08/2020 - 17:32

          Enable smart connect if you want 1 SSID.

          Is roaming assistant enabled or disabled? Is the RSSI set to -70dBm?

          • Punknerd on 08/08/2020 - 18:40

            @Twix: Smart connect is on. There is stil 4 broadcasting stations with varying level of overlaps.

            Is that RSSI value for the 5ghz band?
            Have you got a good smart connect config going?

  • dmbminaret on 07/08/2020 - 16:45

    These are great gear. I just fitted out our factory with 4 long range ones in 4 different sheds all steel and concrete and I've pretty much covered the whole half acre in wifi now.
    FYI: You need cabling, they are not an extender but access points.

    • aldroid on 07/08/2020 - 16:51
      +3

      If you're running multiple AP's, at least 1 needs to be cabled the others can be meshed (range permitting).

      • dmbminaret on 07/08/2020 - 17:12

        Did not know this. Wouldn't work for me anyway because of the interference of structure. Signal would be too low.

  • regenade on 07/08/2020 - 17:24

    At that price, we should be looking at an 802.11ax device like the Asus RT-AX86U which is also going to be supported by Merlin WRT soon and also has a 2.5G ethernet port. Its around $450 currently, lesser with ebay coupons and Gift cards. Nobody should buy a 1G ethernet wan in 2020, 2.5G Fibre connections are coming end of next year (already live in NZ and many other countries)

      Those of us stuck on FTTN can barely justify 1G let alone 2.5G. And that's not changing anytime soon.

    • Twix on 07/08/2020 - 17:46

      Where has NBN said anything about 2.5G FTTP?

      That requires a brand new NTD design.

      • regenade on 07/08/2020 - 18:41

        The current G.PON tech used for FTTp is already capable of 2.5Gbps speeds but would need an ONT swap with 2.5 Gbps ports

        • Twix on 07/08/2020 - 19:06

          Yep but will NBN bother upgrading FTTP in the short term or focus on other parts of the network that need an upgrade before FTTP users?

          • Osprey06 on 07/08/2020 - 20:05

            @Twix: They're not going to be upgrading anyone, <FTTP or otherwise. That's why they have the Technology 'Choice' program. So that end users can shell out to upgrade the network to what it should have been from the start.

            • Twix on 07/08/2020 - 20:41

              @Osprey06: NBN have to upgrade any connections that don't meet SOE.

    Can anyone please help me out? I am having issue connecting more than 40 devices on my Optus modem - currently just kicking devices off (think it max out at 16 after researching more into it).

    What would you recommend for 40-50 devices (mainly wireless) in a small-medium home? I was looking into the asus rt-ax86u but read somewhere that it holds “up to 35 devices” if u connect the asus to optus modem - but unsure if u can link up to 45-50

    Asked a friend about the ubiquiti, they said it may or may not fix the issue. Anyone experience the same issue and found a solution?

    • slam on 07/08/2020 - 19:50

      My unifi ac pro v2 supports over 200 devices.

      These are prosumer - enterprise grade access points. Have a look at the product specs. They will support more than 50 devices easily and at times simultaneously due the 3x3 MIMO antennas.

    • a b i on 08/08/2020 - 06:09
      +4

      I have about 23 - 25 devices on my network and my Telstra provided box was beginning to flake out. My past experience with flagship netgear nighthawk has shown similar behavior when we approached 25+ devices. This is where ubiquity really shines, udm is rated for 200 devices, and it can extend by adding more access points. Got my udm just before the pandemic and it’s been rock solid in terms of performance.
      Since both me and wife are working from home, which
      1. Increases our footprint to the internet (additional vectors for attack)
      2. Puts a lot of demand on wifi. And udm has really worked well in those aspects, especially with Intrusion Protection Services (IPS).
      3. Things like Remote Desktop, Skype calls and CS:Go sessions had significantly better ping times (though I switched from Telstra to superloop around the same time, not sure if its just the router or the connection, or Both)
      It’s not all positives though,
      1. UI is quite extensive , which can be confusing for someone who isn’t very well versed with network gear.
      2. The router takes close to a minute to start.
      So, honestly for a home user with less than 20 or so devices, something like asus router will be sufficient. But for someone who needs a lot of devices on the network with consistent speeds and ability to control much more stuff (and additional protection on the network) something like udm is a good investment.
      For those wondering what the udm UI looks like, this is the demo dashboard ubiquity has hosted on their site : https://demo.ui.com/manage/site/default/dashboard

    • aldroid on 08/08/2020 - 12:24

      Whilst I'm a huge fan of Ubiquiti gear, for your purpose it's overkill. Easiest thing for you would be to put the Optus device in bridge mode and run a 2 or 3 node mesh setup with either the Tenda Nova MW3 or MW6. I'm running the MW3's (3 node mesh) in a large double block 2-story property and run over 50 wifi devices (I have a lot of smart devices; lights, cameras, smart-plugs, sensors, etc). The MW3's have not missed a beat. Never needs rebooting. And you can often find the 3 node kit for under $100.

    • TOm77 on 11/08/2020 - 18:22

      Just came looking to see if anyone else had this problem.
      I ordered late on Sunday night, assuming dispatch Monday. Still says "Payment verified".
      Their shipping policy says same day dispatch. Their FAQ says 1-2 days dispatch. I tried to ring their customer service line today around lunch time and got sent to voice mail, so I sent them an email to which I've yet to get a response. I just wanted to know if it was something on my end which needed to move the order along.

      Not thrilled with them. I don't even mind things taking a few days, but just don't have a same day dispatch policy then. Answering your phone when a customer calls or at the very least responding to customer enquiry emails promptly is a no brainer.

      Won't be rushing back to them.
