Alta 6 Pro WiFi Install: It's Next Level! 

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

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.

These APs Sound Like Exactly What I Need🔥

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

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.

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

Thank you TechFlow! We are excited to bring an even better solution to WiFi. We appreciate your review and look forward to the future of Alta Labs!

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.

Nice one Alex keep up the good work thanks

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.

This is quite Impressive for a system like that

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.

Great video

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.

I wish RU-vidr would say where these are available to buy cause I’m in Canada and you can’t buy them here

Very cool that SSID multiple password option, never seen that before!

anyone else notice his little tummy role at 1:48

nice video!

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

Is that connection a mesh system.

He Alex can you please create a video for loadbalancing on amikrotick or tplink to combine band width thanks

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

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.

Cambium Networks does that password based VLANing they call it ePSK

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.

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?

Although I enjoy these videos, getting excited over having the same SSID and different passwords show lack of experience with enterprise wifi solutions. As a qualified professional, I've seen this on many other vendors like Aerohive networks (Extreme networks they're now called) gear.

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

This is obviously a far superior product! 🎉🎉🎉

I also use virgin media for gaming but it gives higher ping then other providers is there anything we can do to lower it it’s the same on Wi-Fi and Ethernet

Hello ! Available in France ? Can u give me the Price for one acces point please ?

Isn’t it ironic his tv buffers behind him

Upload moooooooooore💪💪

These look awesome but you make it look so easy…..😢 I wish I could do the seat but not got a clue

i thought you’d had Unifi6?

for speed limiting - is that a cap on the entire connection? i.e. if 5 devices are connected with the same password, and I set that passwords connection speed to 20 down / 2 up - then all devices connecting with the same password have to split that 20/2 connection ? OR does it give each device connected with that pw a 20/2 connection per device, and 5 devices would end up using up to a total of 100 down / 10 up ?

can you reset the APs remotly in the dashboard if they are connected by POE?

Downside is that data is being sent out of your network to a site. So I prefer personally to have it all in house with ubiquity.

12:40 Of those 4 access points, 3 are using the same channel.

You don't need a controller to manage the TP link stuff, you can use it as stand alone. That's wrong info Alex.

Must admit I am a little sceptical. I am very unsure on the auto linking I like everything to be very transparent. I would prefer not to have gimmicks and stick with the legacy brand for now, I cannot imagine any serious, large business running these being cloud based

yeah im not trusting my stuff in the cloud - gl hf ill stick with ubiquiti thanks :)

Why did you have Unifi Long Range APs for inside your property?

This isn't the future because it already lacks Wifi 6e/7 which companies are offering. Very basic understanding of networking here.

What's gaming like does it suffer with bufferbloat pal

'And it's all managed online.........' Hmmmph no thanks :). Clever they may be but just online management does not inspire me with confidence

Thanks guys.

RU-vidrs were flooded with these which really devalue the product.

The magic behind the auto linking when logging in raises some privacy concerns around how much Alta Will know about your network & potentially the traffic?

Alex, your belly is sticky out, is this another AP? (New Belly AP made by AlexnCo)

Love your videos but wouldn't really call it next gen wifi, very misleading...

No not just reliability but data security is what you should be promoting through reliable brands not backhanders from new companies

You? Looking for a windows key? 🤣🤣🤣 We all know you only ever use MACs. Even if you did use windows, you can create a windows boot drive for free and if you needed a key, you can reuse your key MANY times.

"Finally"???

man what has happened to you?!

Another question you said you was using Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Long-Range Access Point ….. is that the reason why the speed is a different….. Because why aren’t you using Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Pro Acces Point Wifi 6 Because that’s more of a comparison…….. because if you use in a long-range AccessPoint it’s going to be using 2.4 not five or six Maybe you are using them access point set forgot to mention it , and it’s not true, you can set up a ubiquity access point, and not have a cloud key /….. I get what you were saying, you can set up this device and have full control like a access key

Hi, Alex Brooks, I love your video and your video format and positioning align well with our smart product. Are you interested in collaborating with me? Thanks

Hi Alex. I own a smart home installation company called Luxeia. Could we have a chat about some sort of collaboration. I am also from the UK.

I wish i had good internet i get 25 download

hi

shame its only cloud based, worst idea. no privacy there...and if they go out of business or stop supporting it its basically a brick

isn't showing your ip address dangerous? (like DDOS attacks) apart from that, really well rounded and detailed review alex :)

Hiyah

He'll be back. If he were to buy new ubiquity wifi 6 APs he'd have better performing with the ability to manage his empire of Ubiquity devices.

I am using to link deco which to be fair never give me any trouble apart from speed....but I will admit these have that speed advantage.... Just out of interest what is your ISP speed?(coming into the premises)

I'm still very happy with my Netgear Orbi AC3000 triple pack (wi-fi 5) and probably wont upgrade it till wi-fi 7 is out at a fairly decent price.

Borderline illegal not declaring that these were gifted in the video while he shills them for the whole video. Real lack of integrity compared to others in the space

will stick with unifi sooo much cleaner and already does this

I don’t see the value in these if you’re in the Unifi ecosystem, but would be useful in other scenarios. My Unifi APs already get the speeds that were shown in the video. Single SSID is nice, but I would rather have one management software solution than two.

First

honestly if it was wifi 7 I would have got them. now anyone should get wifi 6e or higher

OK so it actually uses a cloud controller even though you said it does not need one. Cloud controller is a huge NO NO for me

Hey Alex. Can you control the Alta access points with the ubiquity UDM Pro instead of using the Alta cloud ? Thanks.

Just checked out the price what a rip off probably end up buying them for my new property one outside 2 indoors
