You can easily do this with Ubiquiti UniFi gateways. Often we create a different SSID for IoT and just turn on 2.4GHz for that SSID. Turn off 5GHz etc.
r/wifi • Recommended router that lets you create separate 2.4 and 5 bands ->Ubiquity is great value with enterprise features. Dream Machines. Best if you use the whole platform with APs and stuff
r/HomeNetworking • Router recommendations for Fios ->I’m not so familiar with home equipment over 1gig, but i think some of the Dream Machine products do that. I’ve had a couple versions of Ubiquity, most recent the regular Dream machine…the round one that looks like a coffee can. I’m an enterprise guy and this thing has really nice features and visibility right in the phone app. Surely does more than your typical linksys and other residential devices. For that space it should be fine alone with its built in wifi6. Check Amazon.
r/HomeNetworking • Router recommendations for Fios ->Buy a decent router and get the pppoe settings from Sky. Connect that router directly to the Openreach modem. I use a Unifi Dream Machine as I have IP cameras.
r/Scotland • So I've been warned about Sky's routers but I gave it a try ->Ubiquti dream machine. Best choice I've made and I went through all of those consumer devices
r/HomeNetworking • "Best" consumer router under $200? ->I’d just get a dream machine for the base station. E7 is pretty overkill it’s for enterprise. Also you probably don’t have any devices that support Wifi7 but I understand if you want to future proof.
r/HomeNetworking • Advice on home setup for better Wifi? ->You can use UniFi either with their router (Cloud Gateways or Dream Machines) or with their controller (Cloud Key) and let your ISP Router manage the routing part. The Cloud Key can manage the network (switches, APs), the surveillance (acts as a camera recorder) and the door access control (can open doors remotely, through rfid tags, cell phone, QR code, local face recognition, license plate, etc. ). All the Cloud Gateways give you full control of the network and can take over your ISP routing functions by putting the ISP router in bridge mode. The most advanced Cloud Gateways, like the UCG-Max and the UCG-Fiber, and the Dream Machines can also do what the Cloud Key does plus acting as a router. Once you try an wireless distribution system like UniFi’s, you’ll never want to revert to single center point systems.
r/HomeNetworking • Spectrum WiFi 7 Router/AP + MoCa + AP Suggestions? ->Do not put a deco mesh system into your 32,000 sqft mansion. You should be looking at higher end systems like UniFi, HpE, Ruckus. I’m not super familiar with engenius. You need a centrally managed system and with an estate of this size a high end system will be a drop in the bucket of your build budget.
r/HomeNetworking • Wireless AP or Mesh w/ Ethernet backhaul for 32,000 sqft home ->Yeah. I did. Along with hpe and ruckus. A number of my wealthy clients specifically request UniFi and in my experience they stay happy with it and I rarely have to touch anything. It’s also commonly used at resorts, hotels, etc What’s your beef with UniFi?
r/HomeNetworking • Wireless AP or Mesh w/ Ethernet backhaul for 32,000 sqft home ->Ubiquiti makes UniFi. Yes.
r/HomeNetworking • Wireless AP or Mesh w/ Ethernet backhaul for 32,000 sqft home ->Dream machine should be able to cover everything. Maybe an express can as well and they can be had used for $80
r/HomeNetworking • Which router is the best value for a 2,000 sq ft house with 40 devices (mostly Google Home and Eufy cameras), one TV, and no gaming? Internet speed is 150Mpbs (cable). ->The question comes down to how much you want to mess with your router? Personally I don't want to mess with it at all, so I went with the Dream Machine along with UniFi access points and switches. It took me 20 hours or so to learn how to set it up correctly and now it has been running for 7 years or so. I have a pair of Raspberry Pis running Ad Guard and act as my network's DNS. Another Pi running Home Assistant with a lot of radios and such plugged into it. Other than keeping them up to date with the latest firmware and software I don't really think about my network at all anymore. Until I want to that is.
