I didn't want it looking like a giant smoke detector, and I really didn't want to mess with the ceilings right now...I like it though :) E: should also say the ceilings are extremely low, so losing even a little height can be a problem.

I trialled the location for the second unifi on the end of a long cable, and have just drilled a 10mm hole (and crimped my first RJ45 connector) to tidy things up :) I may hide it under a deep frame, but it is far less offensive looking than I'd suspected.

Hijack away - all I can add is the unifis are doing a great job for me in a demanding application :)

Could try and see what it does, although I have the luxury of only 1 immediate neighbour so can lock it in. The question is a bit academic perhaps, just wondering if these WIFI arrays are greedy so to speak.

Got my second LR installed...and to be honest I may need a third for the living room. In for a penny... Daft question - I've currently got the unifi jobbies on channels 6 and 11, if I get a third then I'll be using most of the available 2.4GHz bandwidth just on my network...is this the normal...

I think I'm on 2.4GHz only at the moment; must RTFM but get the impression from the menus I'm not currently outputting on 5GHz...it also doesn't show up on any devices as 5GHz.

Erm, just to separate the humps...if 1/6/11 is better I'll change it. My networking knowledge is limited. The sky router will get swapped for the N56U soon - I've got the Padavan firmware on it now, just haven't got the sky login on yet. Will kill that WIFI (or at least limit to 5GHz only to...

I'm a bit committed now, and have a second unifi incoming :) I may be doing the unifi a disservice saying it's only 10dBm more than the sky hub - I think I'm getting a weird self-interference. In the screengrab SKY is the sky hub, TALKTALK is next door's, and MUD is the unifi...but the second...

Yep, first world problems :)

The unifi AC LR seems to get me ~+10dBm over the sky router (says my phone WIFI analyser app), which is unfortunately not quite enough...I knew I was being optimistic with a single unit though, so I will order another (and work out how to send a tidy cable through/around one of the major walls).

:) Will report back with how the unifi copes...the walls are mostly about 2 foot thick stone!

No need to apologise, I can exercise google-fu once I know the right direction - very helpful thanks :) I ordered a unifi LR, will see how I go from there. Thankfully most devices support WIFI (smart TV, amazon fire box, tablets, etc.), so that may be most of the battle. I will supplant the...

I figured the LR isn't much more, and if it doesn't prove adequate I can order a second unit. I'll have to read and google my way through some of that, but sounds like great advice. The bugger with my house is it's a twin gable roof, so there's always going to be a wall to go through if it's...

UAP-AC-LR looking like the likely jobber.

Interesting, reading now :)

The storm the other night seems to have killed a lot of my network equipment. The setup was: BT openreach modem (for fibre-optic sky broadband) --> sky hub --> powerline adapters --> Asus RT-N56U ...with various bits connected to the routers through cables, and each router running its own...

I misunderstood what C64 was getting at - thought he was saying the pre-clocked card was pushing the architecture. I agree, no harm will come from arguably overspeccing the card slightly.

Job jobbied, thanks all :)

Have there been a lot of failures on 7950s? e: stuff it, 3 year warranty. It can fail if it wants :p

Looking at this one :)
