Hey all,
Anyone tried setting up your home network using Ubiquiti products?
Thank you.

Is there a reason why you choose ubiquitin? It's definitely an overkill for home usage generally, that's why I'm curious on why u choose an enterprise grade product..
Yeap.
Using full suite.
Edgerouter / UAP / UniFi Cloudkey
Using 4 UAP-ACs at home.
Was previously using the EdgeRouter Lite but the lack of 10G support was a bummer, and Ubiquiti has yet to release 10G products (other than the Edge/UniFi switch 24/48port models, and I want 4x10G ports but don’t need all 48 copper ports).
Now using a MikroTik CCR as a 10G router-on-a-stick (1 uplink for both WAN and LAN) because it’s the most affordable 10G routing solution right now.
UAP-AC performance has been very satisfactory as well. MacBook Pro Retina 13" (3x3:3 wifi):
The speed should be attainable with the AC87U too, as long as your channel selection lets you force 80MHz mode.

My macbook pro retina always picks N instead of AC. Both are 5ghz. How did you force it to stick with AC?
Apparently not.
My speedtest results are hovering at 150Mbps even though both AC87U and UAP-AC-PRO provided 867Mbps (max)..... suspect that the LAN ports are only 1Gbps and therefore cannot obtain the speed that you captured?
The speeds I have attained will not be limited by a 1Gbps LAN port.
My APs are connected via 1000baseT.
If you get the correct speeds on a wired speedtest, it means there's a hardware/config issue on your side ba…My AP is also connected via 1000baseT.....
Hmmm..... Maybe M1 issue.
Is it connecting to 2.4GHz N?
I have my 2.4GHz at "low" transmit power on my UAP-AC. Most devices will prefer the 5GHz in my home as the signal is much higher.
It gives 2.4GHz-only devices a below par experience but it definitely encourages devices to roam to 5GHz.
UAP-AC Gen 2 devices have band steering.
You have a separate N AP? If your client device prefers that, then it is providing a better RSSI than your AC AP.SSID is configured for 5ghz only. My MacBook connects first to AC but after a few seconds it's connected to N and sticks with it even when roaming.

My wired speedtest (on M1) gets a nice flat 950Mbps (Softlayer server)
What rate are you seeing on your client? Did you set your UAP to Singapore region? Try channels ≥149My wired speedtest is good.
But only WiFi.....
The UAP-AC-PRO is now connected to my ASUS RT-AC87U LAN. Hmmm....
Any other advice?
