Hello all,
We originally had the Ubiquiti UDM and the UAP-AC-Pro, but we are upgrading our EE FTTP to 1.6gb (and also future proofing)
I’ve also noticed the person who installed our cables to the loft used CAT5, and the cable running from the ONT into the UDM was CAT5e, there was also a CAT cable in loft. So a bit of mumble jumble of cables which we will have our engineer sort when we book him, and ensure every cable is changed to CAT6
So our upgraded set now consists of:
1 x UDR7 (2.5gb ports) which sits in our living room
1 x U7-Pro which is on the ceiling top of stairs below loft (1st Floor)
1 x POE Powered in loft: cable from UDR7 runs out side from living room up into the loft and into the POE, then it’s powers the AP Disc.
As mentioned in another thread we’ve had issues prev with the WiFi outside to power the Ring Floodlight camera, although it now works better between 5-6mbps connection
As we’re booking an engineer in to swap over the cables, we may as well have an External Antenna for the rear wall fitted, and a switch in the loft which will power the U7-Pro and Antenna combined.
My question would be if anyone has any experience with this equipment; which suitable home Antenna should I purchase and which switch (which really only needs 2 POE) outputs so nothing nigh spec / high cost is required for just home usage.
I thought about the below, but maybe the antenna is overkill, or if anyone has any other suggestions would be fantastic
After some more checks of the cables in the loft, I can confirm the black cables from the living room up (from UDR7) into the loft, and which feeds the POE Injector and 4th bedroom is CAT6 (phew)
Although for some reason he used CAT5 cable from the splitter module (which was left open and doesn;t look good) to the Injector which is rather odd. Why would you cut the cable, then splice it into a splitter module then connect an RJ45 plug from that into the Injector? Would you rather not just connect an RJ45 plug onto the end of the CAT6 cable...
