I just with they offered local management instead of locking you into their cloud only.

I use the Aruba Instant On range, similar setup with me need to have a controller which helps massively. The good thing with them is that it is based on the enterprise Aruba Networks kit, just a lower cost version so the support is really good and price is similar to the Ubiquiti’s of the world

These APs Sound Like Exactly What I Need🔥

This feature exists since ages.. it's called multiple pre shared key, mpsk, dpsk...etc every enterprise vendor has a name for it. That said, it's amazing to see it in an entry level product.

Looks good for a new company but you only really need the controller you mentioned for external access, otherwise all access points are pretty much plug and play with the same web based settings page for management locally.

unifi doesn't need a controller in it's stand alone mode.
The controller you can use a raspberry pi or if you already have a server you can run the controller off of that. Yes these controllers would probably cost something but either not that much or it's on something that you're already running.

Great video! We are really impressed with Alta and their new products.

very similar to the open-mesh brand that is longer but the aps and cloud portal still work just fine just cant upgrade the hardware. glad someone else came up with this.. cant stand paying fees / having a controller.

Using a Linksys mesh just now but these access points might be a good reason to swap

The trouble with new wifi toys right now (especially considering the size of investment wifi 6 represents) is wifi 7 is just around the corner. I'm even holding off on installing multimode in my house because of the implications of wifi 7 until we get some real-world numbers.

Alex I always like your videos...but in this one im not sure your fully comparing apples with apples. Have your unifi speed tests been conducted via a Unifi controller that doesnt have security throttling enabled, like IPS, which would throttles your WAN speed? Failing that the devices do seem a good way to bypass a few hundred pounds on a controller if someone else offers it as part of the price.

Nice one Alex keep up the good work thanks

mmm Alex i been using wifi 6 for ages around my place. I must say tho i like the looks of that hardware. I current use eero pro 6.

[OwenDoesWrestling]

do you still have to have a good internet connection or does these give you really good wifi with just these products ?

[adie_adie_adie]

You say this is based online...what happens if that company goes bust?

[StaceytheLoanLady]

This is obviously a far superior product! 🎉🎉🎉

[mikel]

Does the Hotspot setting have a splash page for FB and Insta or does it have pay for access guest network with credit card or Paypal billing?

[andreasadamidis]

Alex, are you using UTP cable rated for outdoor use for the outdoor AP or just normal UTP ?

[johnnyvvlog]

Needing an online account and an internet connection for setup instantly makes it a worse solution than others like Unify. Being able to install a controller locally or host your controller for free locally makes security miles better and makes setting up and managing possible when your internet connection goes down.
