UniFi Network for New Home

Ordered network for the new home. Decided to stay with UniFi given the great experiences I have had with our current setup.

  • Dream Machine with integrated router, firewall, and CloudKey.
  • I wanted WiFi 6 and the only option in stock was the Access Point WiFi 6 Long-Range. I got one for each floor.
  • Main switching bay is two Switch Lite 16 PoE and then 2 Switch Flex Mini for remote ports.
