  • My issues hasn’t really been coverage with my Google wifi setup, it’s more that they can’t handle many wifi clients talking at the same time. That and I can’t set settings I would like, example being which channel they’re on so they don’t conflict with things like my zigbee network.

    So I think ubiquiti might just be the way to go. I think I might just get a cloud key and a couple AP’s and call it a day.


  • Ah I was hoping to stay away from ubiquiti but it seems more and more that I should go with them for long term support. I’m hoping to purchase things that will be decent for the next 5-10 years, so things like wifi 6e and 4x4 mu-memo is what steered me away from them in the first place because the cost of entry is really high.

    My ISP provides gigabit fiber, so I’ll look into maybe getting an SFP network card.

    I googled open source router, and open sense was the first thing that came up, but I probably be going with pfsense anyways.

    Thanks for all the info!





  • So to start off, I have an active home lab already going with a bunch of services running. I’m looking to strictly de-google my network. Their WAP’s have issues with connectivity and reliability and they are a pain to try and configure, google really locks down what you can do on them.

    Unfortunately that software won’t work on my version of google wifi, it’s just a little to new for that.

    I am actively looking to replace things and not just make what I have work anymore, wether that’s one peace at a time (just the Google stuff) or the whole networking setup.
