Not sure if it’s me but I run out of breathe just to listen to you. Otherwise, good stuff.

Your voice is so calming. I just had to subscribe.

LOL - I've had a UAP AC Pro sitting pointing up on a shelf for about 5 or 6 years, works flawlessly throughout the entire house. I keep meaning to mount it somewhere centrally ... one day I'll get motivated enough to bother ;) Every room in my house still gets over 90% and everyone's streaming 4K Netflix, Youtube, gaming etc all day fine. Those AC-Pro's are awesome for home use and high bandwidth usage. I still have a second one sitting in a drawer that I was going to deploy at the front of the house to improve signal quality, but I've never needed it. I keep it for when the working AC Pro eventually dies ... and given Ubiquiti's unreliable stock levels it will come in handy one day ;)

Why are you worried about a couple 1/4" holes from the drywall anchors when you use a 7/8" spade bit for the ethernet lmao

I've been terminating all of my in-wall ethernet runs in Keystones at the user end, and a patch panel down by my router. I'm trying to figure out how best to install a Keystone next to the AP mounting bracket. It doesn't look like it was meant for it at ALL, and the two fixtures interfere.

Dont forget Ubiquiti do sell wall mounted APs, also use the Ubiquiti design tool, takes the guessing game out of AP placement

[mainfighter]

They do work well in a side orientation if you place them correctly, I've deployed a few placed on an external wall pointing towards the front or side of the house and they have always worked great. I still use one on the back wall of my unit facing towards the front and it's always works great.

How do you take it off once it's clipped in?

Would the Flex HD be good to keep on a table top instead of mounting this on a wall? My house isn't big, but would have a Dream Machine SE to a table top or wall mounted AP. Then upstairs, I'd have a Beacon HD.

Hey! What Ubiquiti AP do you suggest for sidewalls?

[garrypresnall]

Great video Question: What's the other blue ethernet cable for coming through the ceiling to the left of the AP

[UTubeSuhail]

Could you, at some point, walk us through what's is most optimum setting for U6-Pro to get the most throughput? I was getting slower speeds and when I contacted Ubiquity, they recommended to increase the 5GHz channel width. I was wondering if there are anymore optimization tweaks that I can do, besides the channel width that can increase the overall Performace.

I have this set up to my cable provider router.

Great Video! Please make a video on how to tune multiple UniFi access points.

Actually you can stretch the rubber gasket for the RJ45 to go through. I know because I forgot to do it beforehand.

Actual content starts about 12 minutes in. Too late for me, I’m 💤….

[brittanyparker-vaughan]

You're so lucky. I'm going through this right now but I have a multi-story home and the walls don't perfectly align between floors. Everything is in the basement. It

Lmao, my laundry room is also my server room.

[alabastercurious]

Ffs I’m 6 minutes in and we’re still chatting in the kitchen. At least offer me a beer or some water. Otherwise - let’s get to it!

[bitterNDsweet]

Please don't talk so much. You do not need to say "I'm gonna go ahead" in every sentence!
