    That is a big assumption that they have a brain.. more likely to be :tumble:

    Do you have to switch networks when you go from one side of the house to other?? I assume it will automatically switch when it can no longer access the SSID that you were connected to?

    Nice. In my case found that the wifi part of the HH5 was poor part that it required a restart every 2 weeks. Since installing the AP, not restarted it for 3 months and is rock solid. Fits my requirements.

    In your case, did you have to run the cable from your main office to the TV point?? or are the additional routers connected to the master thru wifi??

    Can't include the router in that as that was already part of my setup.. catering for the PC, NAS, Fibaro Home Automation Server, Dell PowerEdge Server, CCTV DVR, Printer etc in the office.. The lack of additional ports in the destination, I am not concerned about as I don't need them. The WIFI...

    The aim was to get wifi signal to the rest of the property.. could have chosen other methods.. using powerline adaptors etc.. In this instance, the cost is £79 for the AP.. the install time was 5 mins.. the benefits are solid and stable WIFI signal.. ability to add more APs and get them all...

    He has a very large house.. the APs are powered using PoE in his case and he has these connected to the Ubiquity's own PoE Switch. I use the PoE Injector that comes with the AP and this is connected to my Linksys switch. No additional ports on the AP themselves..

    :D:D:D This is why I removed the use of the HH5's wifi. The benefit with the AP is that I can add more to it and it can be set to handover devices between APs and all as one SSID. Ubiquity APs definitely do that.. I only have 1 AP but a friend of mine has 4 in his house and has no signal...

    Purely because the Ubiquity LR AP is powerful enough for me not to need the HH5 Wifi.. I get strong signal all over the house.. something the HH5 used to struggle with. Hence there is no need for the HH5's wifi.

    That is all sound good advice.. one other thing people should also try is where their routers come with dual band WIFI, most routers will give the same SID for both bands.. it is advisable to give them different names so that you are aware of which band it should connect to. I found the 5Gz is...

    Perhaps you could enlighten the other "IT Experts" then on how they should configure their router?

    I found the wifi on the HH5 pretty poor so have turned that off and instead, purchased a Ubiqiti Unify Access Points.. since installing this, wifi signal thru out the house has been rock solid and not had a need to restart the router to cater for poor wifi.. Since installing this at my house, I...
