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.

Today we closed on our new home! We weren’t looking but a truly unique and special property came on the market and we made the leap! We move back to the Lynnhurst neighborhood in a couple weeks. 📦

These are the things that work and have a real benefit when I’m feeling drained and want to be kind to myself:

  1. Double my usual meditation time.
  2. Anything outside.
  3. Moderate physical exertion.
  4. Time with friends and family.

You can do more than one at a time.
