Probably because upgrading to IPv6 requires time, money and expertise that can be avoided by using v4 for as long as possible.

You don't really know until things start playing up but you can always try and then upgrade your router if you need.

Probably because cheap WiFi routers can become easily overwhelmed once that many WiFi devices are connected and start randomly kicking…

Powering a PoE switch via PoE is possible, like with some Ubiquiti switches, but there's no mention that this switch supports it. Cat6…

I've installed many different Deco units they've all been good except maybe the VDSL model, if you're not sure just go with WiFi 6 like the…

Ethernet over Powerline is very hit and miss and performance drops over distance. If you already have one, run a speed test over the…

I've can't say I've tested them all but I've put in a number a different brands of mesh systems and my preference is Deco, they just work…

You can have a mix of NBN, Starlink and multiple mobile broadband connections. I believe you can have multiple ISP connections to the same…

Fair call, not sure if roaming would work properly or not but I THINK it should. I wonder if you could find an old AC-Lite second hand that…

MLO is a big advantage of wifi 7 that allows compatible devices to connect using multiple bands simultaneously ie using 5ghz and 6ghz at…

It's hard to know what you need without details like how big the area you want to cover is, what the walls are made from, how many walls…

Wired mesh probably just means the remote nodes are connected via Ethernet cable which technically isn't a mesh network but is still often…

I'm curious why you wouldn't add another Ubiquiti AP instead?

This is an easy way to effectivly add wifi capabilities to devices that are Ethernet only, like a CCTV NVR for example.

Optus and Aussie both use IPoE so you should be good to just plug and play

It's definitely worth getting the switch for the garage to make use of your Ethernet data points, every device using Ethernet gets a more…

If you're in a busy household with a fast internet connection it may well be worth it, otherwise probably not.

If you're not having issues with the Google mesh it's really not worth upgrading. I believe Google home automations are cloud based so you…

I guess for high traffic networks, some might consider it worth it to pay double for 50% more streams, especially if you have a fast…

X60 can handle 6 simultaneous streams while x50 can only handle 4, that's the number of devices it can route data to at any given moment,…

XE75 is WiFi 6E, if you can utilize it, the difference is not marginal, it's massive. 6E includes a new, 6Ghz frequency band that is much…

In many cases it's no better, if you live alone or with maybe 1 or 2 other people, you likely won't notice the difference, also if you have…

I'd say Nest will be much better than these but are they price comparable? Personally I'd go with a better Deco mesh system that's in the…

While this is true, no doubt, if you're using your Quest near the primary router you can lock it to that AP and remove any chance of adding…

I have a Ubiquiti network in my own home but I always recommend Deco to other people unless they have a specific need for higher end…

Yes, Express is a router with wifi 6 AP and controller all in one. You could then manage your router and APs from the same interface.

Those are 2 technologies that [can] work together, they're different and not directly comparable.

Wifi signal is different to internet speed and you need to determine which is the one you need to improve. Go to speed test dot net and run…

Haven't met anyone willing to pay the $3k for the Deco WiFi 7 3pk yet but I'll sure be jealous when I do.
