Review on Ubiquiti AmpliFi Gamer’s Edition: Seamless Whole Home WiFi System with HD Router, 2 Mesh Points, Gigabit Ethernet, WAN Port, and Ethernet Cable – Replacing Router & WiFi Extenders by Jelani Weaver

I live in an apartment with an odd layout - I think it's designed to cut down on 'neighbor noise', but it's terrible for WiFi, especially when you add the other 12 networks that all bars show full when I browse my network (and many others just a little less than full). I kept losing connection in my living room in the evenings (very annoying when Roku would establish itself over Wi-Fi while trying to watch a movie), and I often found myself missing the connection to download a recipe to my tablet in the kitchen/anything Download Everything on the Balcony. I started researching different grid options - and settled on this one because of the ease of customization/extension/overview. When it comes to the tech, I don't mind a lengthy setup, but once it's set up I'd rather forget about it (I'm not interested in lifetime tweaking or ongoing maintenance to keep things running). Setup was AMAZING easy, almost plug and play - although the grid points didn't connect instantly (in hindsight I should have realized they would have to go through their handshakes etc) but instead it took a minute or two - the in- App communication could have been better as I really thought something was wrong until they spoke to their calls to show they were connected. Otherwise, the application is optimized and it is easy to find the necessary items in it. There are a few "special circumstances" on my home network that I want to consider: 1) There is a Synology Disk Station (1815+) on my network where I run a Plex family website, as well as various backups from other computers via Wi-Fi and via a wired network (depending on which computer the NAS actually allows). Synology did NOT discover the router and the range of the DHCP server did not match the range of my old network (192.168.). This is not a problem per se, but requires manual configuration that took only a few minutes in the application, including some static leases and of course port forwarding. I also took the opportunity to change the Plex external port - everything is very simple and intuitive. 2) I have 2 cameras on my network (connected to my NAS of course) that need static IPs (one via TP-Link switch, the other via Wi-Fi) - very easy to add (by name). Everything on my network now has names (even grid points), which I either couldn't do or never saw my previous router do. I've had it for almost a month now and no complaints. . Continuous internet throughout the apartment and even a little on the street!
