I spent £5,000 on Unifi - HELP ME!

My Current UnifI Setup

The NAScompares Podcast - Let's Talk Data

Soo many channels do massive UniFi installs. My main tips to beginners:
1) analyse your needs (don’t blindly follow or copy someone else’s setup); remember that needs ≠ wishes
2) figure out your budget
3) if out of funds: focus on the essentials (you can always upscale later)

7 years ago, I started with an EdgeRouter and an UniFi access point. Later, I added a 8-port switch and then two five-port switches. The controller is in Docker on a Synology. Network (no camera, phone, access) focus. It just works. No restarts needed.

I loved the old setting tho... it was really feeling like home. Even the seagulls.

[bluesquadron]

I believe those acoustic tiles are also a result of a drunken night. Certainly the random gaps tell that story :)))

[farhan-app]

I love that you’re exploring everything “Networking” and not just NAS.

[rajiv.]

Robbie just getting ready for the UniFi NAS to drop ;)

[Will_Played]

Awesome! I look forward to the content. Just switched to Unifi myself.

[richardasarisi]

Been a Unifi Home for over a year. I love it all works like a charm

[DavidM]

I love that you are doing this with Unifi. On the face of it, the idea of buying myself into an ecosystem which may end up meaning that only certain components would work with other components, or having to pay for extra licences for cameras (if that's the case), will be really interesting to see. Your unvarnished, unbiased opinions will be most important ; far too many youtubers are selling their souls these days to flog stuff so, take the high road with your opinions, please.

I have several UniFi wireless access points in my home. Running the UniFi Network in a container on Synology NAS. All patched together with Cisco and Qnap and generic switches. Overall very happy with the hybrid Frankenstein setup. Looking forward to seeing what you learn. Happy Ko-Fi supporter.

That's a very good idea. I bought a network cabinet a few days ago and wanted to set up a new network. I came across Unifi on the Internet and it's exactly my taste. And you're also making a video about it and would like to make a video series... how cool is that!!! I think we are on the same wavelength :D.. I'm looking forward to it and I hope your videos will be published soon. Thanks and keep up the good work

[merphium]

Perfekt timing! I am about to move into my own house and guess what i wanted to install there? Right, all in for Unifi.

Thanks for ging through all the pain for me in advance!

Really looking forward to your reviews on UniFi. Not just from a UniFi NAS on the horizon perspective (although that helps), however the entire ecosystem. So very powerful and scale able. I’ve bought into it over the last few years for all, was right on the precipice of buying the NVR Pro as my UDMPRO camera space is not enough and I’ve moved my Synology NAS to a new location. If they kill two birds with one stone and update the NVM Pro into a NAS that could be really cool. Anyhow, very much looking forward to your views on the whole shebang - good luck!

[markwoll]

I've had a UniFi house for 3.5 years. It's been a good experience.

[MarcMcMillin]

very exited to see this added into your channel! So much of NAS performance has to do with the networking behind it 🙂

[deonh]

Love the Unifi stuff - the  of the networking world, and these days, equally expensive 😬! We recently finished building our house and being brick and mortar, it's definitely more difficult to get ubiquitous wifi access throughout the house. But alas, I have helped several friends with theirs and love the options these days - there really is something for every deployment type and budget. Looking forward to your content on this and love the Studio look 👀👍🏻!

[crawlingchaos]

I love to see a video on getting unifi to work with a wired Sonos setup. All kinds of fun shenanigans there! To be fair some (most?) if it due to Sonos but as Sonos and unifi is a popular pairing it could be a good / useful video for many peeps.

[MrMoonsilver]

Really cool topic tho, I'll be with you on it. Very cool ideas, one of the best youtube channels. Your presentation, the topics, the enthusiasm, the professionality. Incredible, thank you for all you do!

[davidputt]

I’m so excited to see your take on their system. I’m considering upgrading from my 3 year old UDM myself so these kinds of videos would be golden!

[Arneby]

Yay! for studio upgrade. Some way still to go on sound and lighting!
Also not sure we need *yet another* channel covering Unifi.

[werecow]

Very cool. Contemplating a shift from OPNSense to Unifi. Will be relocating in the next year to an area with multi-gig fiber. Hopefully your setup can show what would be ideal for someone with a 10GB network.
