Hi!
Was looking for something safe and reliable, 8 or 16 ports, managed. I
don't really need PoE. I've read really bad review on Netgear on Amazon.
I am also looking for 'average' pricing, not the cheapest and not the
most expensive ones. Also don't want to have to register online for some
"features" to work.
I use Ubiquiti in my home. For a router I use a Unifi Security Gateway (USG)[1] but I'd like to upgrade to the Dream Machine Pro SE when available. Then for the switch a non-PoE 24 port rack mount managed switch with two UAP-AC Lites (Wifi 5, dual band)[2]. If I were to setup a brand new system I would use the new WiFi 6 version[3].
Pretty happy with it overall. I run the Unifi controller software on a CentOS Steam box in the closet since I package it for the RPM Fusion non-free repository, however, when I upgrade the whole Dream Machine series[4] have it built in.
Thanks,Richard
Interesting answer. I have 1 Ubiquity AP (the UAP PRO IIRC) and didn't find it great to set up with Linux. Had to install the mobile app to do so. However now it seems to be working flawlessly ;-). At the same time I have an ASUS RT-AC88U router which seems to have a stronger wifi signal (I thought Unify AP were the best - signal is one thing, how many connected clients it can handle is another). And it's really about "it seems" as I didn't test anything at all.
I've heard and watched videos about those Ubiquity Dream machines (almost recommended one to a friend) and particularly this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY-24alrvCw which made me feel like it was not for me (could be really more than ok for my friend though). The downsides seem to be:
- Forced
Registration
- No Official Wireguard Support
- No Outbound VPN Policy Routing
- No Controls on WAN failover
- No Multiple IP's on USG line
I mean Cisco has a 8 ports managed switch for $80 on Amazon. How
good is that? In comparison (I'm not trying to make fun of
Amazon....) they have a TP-Link "easy smart managed" at $30. In
the specification they write "wireless type: 802.11b, 802.11"...
So it is hard from my perspective to find the "right" product as specifications and marketing always get in the way.
Thank you.
Fred
