[QUOTE="jb747, post: 1958315, member: 24168"] I tried installing the Ubiquiti USG early last year, but gave up. Looking at the Ubiquiti and Whirlpool forums, I wasn't the only person who did so. Just finished my second attempt, and this time it's worked out. The total system now is a bridged modem, the USG, Ubiquiti Cloudkey, Ubiquiti 24 and two 8 port POE switches, 8 (!) access points, and 8 cameras. There are many Cat 6 runs. With a bit of luck, I'll be able to get 10gb over most of the Cat 6 when I eventually get around to it. The need for so many access points was driven by the type of insulation we used in the house. Not only does it reduce heat transfer, but it seems to kill phone and wifi signals. I'm not sure if this is real or not...but the results of speed tests (speedof.me) have been stable at 42 meg/sec down for some months. Looking at 45 right now. I don't know if a change of router could have had that effect, or if it's just coincidence. [/QUOTE]
