While an Amplifi Mesh WiFi system is just about $300-350 USD, UniFi Pro gear will cost more and you'll need stuff to start out and it won't always feel intuitive as you plan your system. Now, UniFi is more expensive than Amplifi as it's pro gear. If you are doing business at home, have a gigabit network pipe, a wired home network, and/or have a dozen or more network devices, you're a serious internet person and you might want to consider serious internet networking gear. My friends and fellow nerds insisted it was easy but I kept seeing massive complex network diagrams and convinced myself it wasn't worth the hassle. Knew (I thought) all about it and I resisted. You'll literally find these installed at business or even sports stadiums.

Give I'm a professional working at home doing stuff that is more than the average Joe or Jane, what's a professional option? UniFi from UbiquitiДЄmplifi is the consumer/prosumer line from Ubiquiti Networks and UniFi (UBNT) is the professional line. There is a 'hardware NAT' option that really helps, but short of running the Amplifi in Bridged Mode and losing a lot of its epic features, it was clear that I was outgrowing this prosumer device. However, I was rarely getting over 300-400 Mbp/s on my Amplifi. I called an changed providers to a cable provider that offered true gigabit. We've got over 40 devices on the network now and many are doing real work. Modern bandwidth requirements and life has changed since 2007. Lately 100/100 hasn't been really cutting it when I'm updating a dozen laptops for a work event, copying a VM to the cloud while my spouse is watching 4k netflix and two boys are updating App Store apps. The whole house was presciently wired by me for Gigabit back in 2007 (!) with a nice wiring closet and everything. Then I called them a a few years back and got 100/100. For the last 10 years I've had fiber optic to the house with 35 Mbp/s up/down and it's been great. That said.I recently upgraded my home internet service provider. I recommend Amplifi unreservedly to any consumer or low-key pro-sumer who has been frustrated with their existing centrally located router giving them reliable wi-fi everywhere in their home. From unboxing to installation to running it (working from home for a tech company, so you know I'm pushing this system) it's been totally stable.

I've had it for two years and it's been an absolute star performer. You support charter schools when you use these links.
