I am super excited by the Unifi Express Mesh system and they are "almost" perfect. Check out my speed tests and I test the mesh to see how fast it goes. Is this a good solution for someone who doesn't have wires in their home, but wants to use Unifi? Let's find out!!

Thank you for this. I've got a dream router and a 6 Pro is a small house but annoyingly parts of my office are dead zones. I want one of these to place in the room nextdoor that gets great WiFi to serve the office as no scope for wiring another AP easily.

You bet. I redid the video using iPerf and will be posting that in the next few days. Thanks for watching.

@williamp6800 8 месяцев назад

Nice test, but could you do it again using iPerf so that you’re actually measuring the network speed that they are capable of? And with a wired connection to both devices. That way the only variable is the distance between them, and the speed of your Internet connection doesn’t affect the results. It would be nice to know if meshing these can outperform Powerline adapters.

@ethernetblueprint 8 месяцев назад

You're right. I will do a new test using iPerf. I appreciate the suggestion. I will redo the video using those methods...

@williamp6800 8 месяцев назад

@@ethernetblueprint looking forward to it.

@AirforceSweden415 6 месяцев назад

Have 2 ux in mesh and love the ecosystem and gui. Can wait for your mesh test👍🏼

@ethernetblueprint 6 месяцев назад

I did release that. It’s in my list of videos.

@PAFFO 3 месяца назад

use channel 80 , set max transmit power to all express, doing this i was able to have 780mbits in mesh

@ethernetblueprint 3 месяца назад

Decent tip. For low interference environments this could help. Yes.

@jrmbtr 8 месяцев назад

Could you do a wired test on the meshed unit (wired device plugged into the meshed wireless unit)?

@ethernetblueprint 8 месяцев назад

You bet. I will make that happen.

@douginNC28139 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for doing this test. I have a mesh system with a UDM and a BeaconHD. The BeaconHD has always shown as too far away in the Network app (-87 or so). I bought an Express to bridge the gap between the UDM and the BeaconHD. Now all access points are reading -55 go -60db. UDM to Express to BeaconHD. Don’t know if this really helped anything other than the db signal strength.

@ethernetblueprint 7 месяцев назад

I really think that anytime you can get your signal strength up, you will have a better overall experience. You are adding an extra "hop" for the devices connected to the beacon, but they should be able to communicate better I would think. You will have to report back and share your experience after the change!

@williamp6800 8 месяцев назад

No matter how many speed tests you do, somebody will ask for one more…

@ethernetblueprint 8 месяцев назад

Haha. You are prob right.

@AntneeUK 6 месяцев назад

Have you tried these as APs? I have one and am really impressed, but I also have a Google WiFi system with each AP wired in. I'm considering replacing the GW points with a couple more of these UniFi Express devices and wiring them into the existing ports

@ethernetblueprint 6 месяцев назад

As a hard wired solution, I really like these and would definitely replace GW points with them. Using them as a wireless mesh system, I think they lack a little bit and need to be triband to get better wireless performance between the WiFi points.

@AntneeUK 6 месяцев назад

@@ethernetblueprint thank you. I think I was going this direction already but you probably just sealed it for me 👍

@ronm6585 8 месяцев назад

Thank you.

@ethernetblueprint 8 месяцев назад

You're welcome!

@thomassheppard6805 8 месяцев назад

Do you think you would’ve gotten better results on 2,4 ghz setup? Your initial internet speed isn’t faster enough to out pace the 2.4 Wi-Fi and it would’ve been a stronger signal

@ethernetblueprint 8 месяцев назад

I’m going to be doing more tests. I can test that as well.

@MarkWoodhall 5 месяцев назад

Would two or three of these connected to the main express be considered okay for a small to medium sized house as a mesh system? I am unable to run Ethernet cables anywhere.

@ethernetblueprint 5 месяцев назад

They could be, yes. However, with them being dual band, and having limited hardware onboard, your speeds might not be super awesome. What internet speed do you currently have?

@ethernetblueprint 5 месяцев назад

Also, keep in mind that the Express can only manage 4 additional unifi devices so be careful if you need additional devices like a switch...

@MichaelCadje 3 месяца назад

Thx for this test

@ethernetblueprint 3 месяца назад

You bet. Wish it yielded faster results.

@moya-moye 8 месяцев назад

I have bought a Udm wall by spending some 1200 bucks. Also 2 unify accespoint 6e enterprise version one unify express, after a massive wifi hacking by some unknown remote actions. originally the ISP gave their own modem (Speedprt pro with hybrid option from telekom). But then I want to use only Udm wall as main modem and router. I plugged in the DSL cable to Udm wall, but nothing is being recognised...I am not a professional, but I really want this to work and have a secure connection.pleae help..where am I doing wrong..I want to give up the ISP modem

@ValexNihilist 8 месяцев назад

Can these be daisy chained? Great video and tests!

@ethernetblueprint 8 месяцев назад

I’m not 100% sure but I’m guessing they can. I’ll have to get my hands on a 3rd and find out.

@JacksonCampbell 8 месяцев назад

Pretty sure UniFi APs don't restrict the meshing.

@luiseduardolopez7694 18 дней назад

Que versión es? Lite???

@ethernetblueprint 18 дней назад

I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking. Do you mean what code version I was running?

@Kirko_bangz 8 месяцев назад

I think the big issue is its only 2x2, most other UniFi AP are 4x4

@ethernetblueprint 8 месяцев назад

I agree.. That is one of the problems. And the testing I was doing was just 1 device connected... if you had a lot of devices, the results would be slower! Thanks for weighing in!

@JacksonCampbell 8 месяцев назад

They ruined that with the new U7 Pro being only 2x2 on all bands compared to 4x4 on 5GHz on the U6 Pro.
