My Insights Switching From Unifi To A Peplink Wireless AP

Why I switched from Ubiquiti to Peplink Wireless APs for better Wi-Fi performance.

My insights switching from Unifi to a Peplink wireless AP. n this episode of the SMC Journal podcast, I share my journey of replacing a Ubiquiti Unify Wireless Access Point with a Peplink Wireless AP. As remote work became essential, I saw the limitations of my aging Wi-Fi setup and sought a more reliable solution. I will discuss my experience with Peplink products, highlighting their quality and performance, and explain why others might consider making a similar switch for improved home networking.

I've been relying on Peplink Balance/Max appliances extensively for the past 10+ years. Extremely reliable and a unique feature set. However, as a WLAN engineer, when it comes to their Wi-Fi access points I can't use them in enterprise deployments or even midsize ones. They simply aren't up to par with other solutions that are in the same price point or even lower like for example UniFi. Pepwave APs are lacking in terms of feature set and granularity. Hopefully Peplink will put a little more love into their Wi-Fi offering. And you are right with regards to a U6-Extender Peplink equivalent, there isn't one and I don't think there will ever be one. In my opinion such a device doesn't fit the kind of usecases Peplink seems to be aiming.

RE: U6-LR - Long story short, it wasn't really designed for long range applications. Be very skeptical of any access point being marketed as "long range" as those are almost always intended to prey on the common misconception that more power equals more range, something that rarely holds true for the typical Wi-Fi deployment.
