    Where do you go for router reviews?

    I am so looking forward to this. To be honest, there has not been any alternative to your reviews. And the level of professionalism has been sorely missed. Especially the in world of Unifi you often see the word "review" attached to a product and then it is just some guy rambling about his...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    Because you are going to keep adding to them? ;-) Sure. Have they done actual testing of multiple APs, routers etc. with mulitple clients. How to they actually determine what device to pick? Is there other factors than performance that is a deciding factor etc. You cannot shoehorn a companies...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    There is no way that it is actually tested against a common Asus router. You may believe it works this way but nobody I know have done an actual test of this and posted the results. I am so tired of all these myths. We have some the without any proof claims Ruckus is superior. They cannot back...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    What I meant by "on the box" was Unifi's claim about 500+ clients for the UAP-HD :) Sure I agree. But then the Flex HD entered and showed that you can have a nice AP centrally on a shelf that looks discrete and performs well (and the LEDs are easy to turn off). I have not tried the AX88U but...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    Dont buy into what is says on the box. Anything more than 40 heavy users will according to testing be as bad as every other AP. And yes it is expensive though the Nanos have the same throughput and 5GHz range (in my own rough testing - Lawrence System actually tested the Nanos to be even better)...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    Limited range and low throughput. I first tried the USG and some PROs. Compared to my old RT-AC3200 the range was not good and the throughput quite limited. Then Ubiquiti released the HD range and what a difference...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    Oh yes I have. Read my post #12. But I will gladly repeat again (again): "I used ROG routers from Asus and they are simply not very stable (the none-ROG stuff are more stable). And the lack of updates annoyed me. GT-AC5300 had issues in AiMesh since september due to an software issue (and also...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    - No the AP PROs are not faster with multiple clients. It may be "plenty" but you dont win by being plenty when something is better. That is such a bias. - Yes you can centrally control Asus routers with AiMesh. Unifi are better but you are setting up like it is not possible with Asus. - No you...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    Yes but without a direct comparison isn't it a bit anecdoctal? I am basically repeating my agenda over and over again. But I will gladly repeat: It is to stop people saying one device is better than another based on undocumented claims. Why have reviews then? And it is not just about Ubiquiti...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    Maybe anyone should do that before saying one vendor is better than another.... You did agree with haykong's undocumented claims about Ruckus being so much better in every task (and the "enterprise wifi chipset" myth).

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    Yes. The did test exactly that: https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/33191-2x2-ac-access-point-roundup-part-2 So you flip it and argument that it is all about multi-client performance. But still no evidence that a device actually is better at this task than other. The only...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    You are right. TP-Link EAP225v3 performs much better than Unifi Lite despite using the same chipset. But what are the evidence of Ruckus being so superior? As an example take the 2x2 APs round up review on this site. The winner is EAP225 despite the Linksys and others being far mor expensive...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    Yes but they still run the same chipsets as everyone else (though they are not transparent about this). So how much of a actual difference there is (if any) is hardly enough to justify the price difference. Sure there might be a difference in 2.4GHz where there can a lot of interference but...

    Finally bailing on AiMesh in favor of Ubiquiti

    I just switched from AiMesh to this exact setup. It works quite well. I used ROG routers from Asus and they are simply not very stable (the none-ROG stuff are more stable). And the lack of updates annoyed me. GT-AC5300 had issues in AiMesh since september due to an software issue (and also the...

    Any reason not to buy a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S20 + (plus) at launch?

    Yes there is a reason. Samsung is not behaving nicely with this release and the reviews will tell the truth: - The finger print sensor is not changed from S10 / S10+. Nobody really mentions this since they want to keep it a secret but the fact is that the S10 FP is slow and very often does not...

    GT 5300 Aimesh issue

    You need to reboot the node. That was the only thing that worked for me.

    GT 5300 Aimesh issue

    I my case the node goes totally offline. Ethernet backhaul so not a wifi issue. Even the power consumption drops - like it is shutting partially down. Reboot always worked though.

    GT 5300 Aimesh issue

    Yes you may be right but I have had two RT-AC88Us where the WAN port died on both within a few weeks. And one of them was even stored and only used for a backup. If it is a firmware thing then it is unacceptable that the last official firmware for GT-AC5300 is from september.

    GT 5300 Aimesh issue

    I had two GT-AC5300. The node kept going offline and you had to reboot the node. I had the node replaced but it still happened. I seems to be a software issue but considering Asus bad hardware quality I would not rule out that the hardware has a flaw.

    Really disappointed with AiMesh, I switched to something else

    So does Orbi, TP-Link Deco and well every Mesh system I have tried except AiMesh. And guest networks aren't just for guests anymore but useful for IoT devices. It is a serious shortcoming for the AiMesh system.
