DIYing a Networking Solution with Ubiquiti Products: A Hands-On Approach

As I began my journey to create a reliable and efficient networking solution for my home office, I knew that I needed to invest in high-quality equipment. With the help of ubiquity products from Ubiquiti, I set out to design and implement a mesh network that would meet my specific needs.

To start, I purchased a few key components, including the UniFi NanoStation AC Lite (USAC-LITE) access points, which I mounted on the ceiling using a ladder. I also picked up a UniFi Nanostation AC Pro (USAC-PRO), which I plan to use as a central hub for my network. These products were chosen for their high-performance capabilities and reliability, making them ideal for a business setting like mine.

Next, I decided to run the cables myself, using a short Cat6 cable from one access point to another. This allowed me to create a seamless connection between the two devices, which is essential for a mesh network. As I worked, I encountered a few minor setbacks, including cutting out of a section of cable and dealing with a ladder shortage. However, these issues were easily overcome, and I was able to complete the task without major incident.

One of the most significant advantages of using Ubiquiti products is their ability to create a strong and reliable network. With their advanced antenna systems and built-in PoE (Power over Ethernet) capabilities, they are well-suited for use in high-traffic environments like my home office. Additionally, these devices offer a range of configuration options, making it easy to tailor the network to meet specific needs.

In terms of setup, I found that Ubiquiti products were relatively straightforward to install and configure. The UniFi controller software provided a user-friendly interface for managing the devices, including settings such as channel selection and antenna orientation. This level of control was reassuring, as I knew that I could fine-tune the network to optimize its performance.

As I worked on setting up my mesh network, I couldn't help but think about the importance of redundancy in a business setting like mine. With multiple access points working together, I can ensure that there is always a reliable connection available, even if one device becomes unavailable. This level of redundancy provides peace of mind and ensures that my business operations run smoothly.

One area where Ubiquiti products excel is their ability to handle handoff between access points. In the context of a mesh network, this means that when I move from one location to another within my home office, the network seamlessly transitions to a new connection point, ensuring that I remain connected and productive. While I did not put this feature through extensive testing during my setup process, I am confident in its ability to handle handoffs and provide a smooth user experience.

In terms of durability, I was pleased to find that Ubiquiti products were well-suited for use in a high-traffic environment like mine. The UniFi Nanostation AC Pro, which serves as the central hub for my network, is designed to withstand harsh conditions and operate reliably even in the face of interference or other disruptions.

Overall, I was impressed with the performance and reliability of Ubiquiti products during my setup process. While there were a few minor setbacks along the way, these issues were easily overcome, and I was able to create a robust and efficient mesh network that meets my specific needs.

As I move forward with implementing this networking solution in my home office, I will continue to monitor its performance and look for opportunities to optimize it further. With its advanced antenna systems and built-in PoE capabilities, Ubiquiti products have provided me with a reliable and efficient solution that is well-suited for use in high-traffic environments.

One lasting thought about the ubiquity process and setup was that these products are definitely premium, with prices that reflect their high-quality construction and performance. While it's possible to build a mesh network using lower-cost components, I opted for the enterprise-grade solutions offered by Ubiquiti because of their reputation for reliability and durability in business settings.

Another lasting thought was about the ubiquity process and setup being very inclusive in terms of networking solutions, which are well-suited for use in a variety of environments. However, it's worth noting that these products may not be as compatible with certain third-party devices or systems, such as security cameras like Ring.

In conclusion, I am pleased to have had the opportunity to set up and test Ubiquiti products as part of my mesh networking solution. These devices offer a high level of performance and reliability, making them an excellent choice for business owners looking to create a robust and efficient network. By following this guide and selecting the right components for your specific needs, you can create a reliable and efficient mesh network that meets your unique requirements.

As I wrap up this project, I want to thank my wife Lisa for her patience and support during the setup process. And, of course, I'd like to apologize to anyone who may have heard baby crying in the background – it's just part of the DIY experience!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enWow it is freezing out here I thought moving to Central Florida would make things a bit warmer in the winter but that is certainly not the case this is our new house I'll give you the tour of this in a separate video but for now an important thing to do when you move in any new place to set up your home internet solution we have ubiquity this time around - yeah take care of things we bought all the stuff ourselves but I'm really excited because I've heard really great things about ubiquity obviously every now and then you have the black sheep case right but typically in general is a really good brand there unify solutions are super simple to set up the entire ecosystem is very just welcoming as long as you stay within that ecosystem and that's what we've done here we bought two of these access points in the Nano access points we also have a gateway because our modem doesn't have a firewall I think it does actually but we're gonna turn it off so we're not being yet double firewalled and then we also have apoE switch so this will be fun sorry about the wind we're gonna get inside and utter all them the be quiet pure bass 500 is a serious compact mid tower contender paxton tough space for a 360 Melia full-size ATX motherboard and extended graphics card along with a 140 millimeter bracket at the rear it comes with interchangeable top covers for either airflow or silence you can snag it in white black and metallic grey large power supplies welcome nearly an inch of cable management space behind the motherboard tray I could go on check it out by the link below so this is our current home Internet solution and it looks pretty terrible obviously not enough for a home of this size and yeah I mean this is just one Google home router and then the ISP modem we have the use spectrum not the biggest mass spectrum internet speeds are worse than they were at the apartment but we have way more space to play with in this house I'll give you guys a tour a dedicated video also sorry about the echo fortunately though we have some things from ubiquity we have a security gateway good for you know security firewall and such we have an 8 switch p OE switch yeah probably should have said that a bit differently and then we have two of these nano HD access points which are going to be mounted to the ceilings that's actually apoE cat6 termination point there then we have another one on the second floor so we're gonna overhaul it I know this is just the Wi-Fi solution we're tackling this video I also have to hire people to run even it in the walls which I couldn't do while the house was being built because that's just how they built these houses so we'll tackle that in a separate video so we've got all this stuff laid out and we're going to be throwing this and this in that panel that you saw a bit earlier and then these two are going to be mounted to the ceilings so let's get started so the original solution here again was just the modem straight into a Google home Wi-Fi router so we do have an outlet in here I'm gonna have to run an extension cable because we have to have the modem power as well as the POS which as well as a security gateway so maybe just one extra port and I do have a solution for that as well I also want to really take my time in here and try to clean things up as we go these little panels here are removable and you kind of move them around so you can screw things into this and then mount it kind of wherever you want in the the panel whatever you want to call this I'm sure there's a fishel name for it I'm not a networking guru so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about that day yet so you can pull this out and you can mount things to this which is what we'll do once I clip that zip tie and then we'll place everything back in here and have adjust the height and hopefully it'll look a lot cleaner than what you just saw so this is kind of the general layout I'm going for here I want the the gateway and the switch to be below the adapters but we're gonna raise this entire panel pretty high up and that in that cabinet there so if we can get this to mount here and this here this is pretty heavy so we have to tie this down for sure and then kind of manage our cables behind this it should look super clean we can have the modem below that of course the the routing here in case you're wondering the order of things so from the modem we're gonna run an Ethernet cable to the LAN port out of LAN and then from LAN one into any one of these switches here this is basically it's a switch but it's a POS switch so it injects power into the ethernet cable that you're using and that way all we need to do is just plug in one poni cable into this and it'll work we don't need a separate power cable for this access point actually these come with their own p OE injectors of sorts but we don't need those because we're gonna use a POS which which these aren't cheap solutions by any means but it's definitely in a future proof us and give us extra ports if we want to run again even it through the walls which is my plan in the future all right so I think this will do for now I do have zip ties I could probably secure the switch and the Gateway a bit better but I've just taken a ton of adhesive pads and stuck them to the panel I can see kind of between them so they look to be pretty stable like if one Falls or whatever I'll just end up there tying it again but I think that's gonna look super clean we're gonna put it about that high that way we can have the modem below it and have just enough length I think for the power cables to plug into the outlet there at the bottom so let's get this mounted and then start taking care of the rest okay there we go these will just run down the side like that and I think it would have yep just enough length to plug visit so we'll save this for now this of course is for the modem and I might add using my own modem at some point as well because I'm not sure if that one's gonna cut it but basically so these cat6 cables run up to those two ports I showed you earlier so these are gonna have to run like so they're gonna have to go right there right here this is the p OE out section so now we're gonna put the modem back in where it was before and this is the line that runs out to the I attitudes at the cable box outside so you plug this in and bunch of this is in then we'll run the ethernet cable from this yellow port here into the LAN port on the Gateway which is up there and then from the LAN port the other side of that will run it into the switch it's about as clean as that's gonna get there so the modem is back in okay so one cat 6 cable here it's gonna run from the modem like I said earlier into the gateway and the LAN port which is that woman right there by the way I didn't know any of this before hand and again networking is still very new to me so I don't claim to know much at all about this the only reason I know how to even route this stuff is because I was reading the ubiquity manual for the Gateway and it told me exactly how to set things up it was really helpful so even if you're a noob and this kind of stuff as long as you know generally what to buy I shouldn't really have a problem setting up your own network Palli this thing is dirty yeah take a Swiffer duster to it after we're finished here all right one power cable and the other power cable there we go so things should be taking off here soon we got power to everything and now I think we're just waiting to plug in the access points let's give it a shot I'll find out if we did this right or not it someone dining chair definitely not recommended we're gonna pop this off and see how to mount these access points no they do come with their own little mounting bracket I'm not sure if that's gonna fit in here I'm sure it will but you never know worst case we have to drill under the ceiling okay so it's been a minute and the reason why is because I wanted to figure out exactly how I was gonna do this before I showed you what I did and this took quite a bit of trial and error and so now I can I'm confident enough to show you guys what I had to do problem is the two ethernet little port access areas up top on the ceilings I use these standard outlet covers and a standard outlet box which means the dimensions don't fit the stock little mounting gear included with the ubiquity access points that means we have to kind of Jimmy something together and basically what ended up doing was screwing the mounting plate to the outlet cover and then Dremel a hole out for the ethernet cable to run through and into the router so that's what we're gonna do again you also have to make a few you have to drill here and here to be able to secure the cover back to the ceiling so it's really not difficult to do I just wish that ubiquity would include standard outlet mounts in these little nano AP boxes you don't get that though which means we have to improvise the first thing you're gonna want to do is line up the bracket with the outlet we're gonna drill some holes here's where the screws are gonna go obviously so like do one here first I'm gonna do this for all four holes of course make sure that the bracket is held in place so that all four line up after the fact next one I always use some shallow nails think these are wood nail so they self tap their flat Phillips screws right and you should end up with something like this now we need to pre-drill the holes for the original screws that held the little cover for the outlet in place and that should take care of this part then we need to drill a couple of holes and then take a dremel preferably and kind of bore out a large hole for our Ethernet cable to pass through all right so drill from the back of these typically you'll have these little channels here so you can drill straight through those you won't really need to pre-drill there we go see the whole barely fits but even if it had broken this little frame here it wouldn't have mattered because this part is not needed necessarily to lock it in place it's it's these little indentions here and do the same for the other side my battery's dead alright so I've got some holes pre-drilled here while I'm setting up the couch I don't know what what he's doing right now he's just laying there so helpless anybody Hey and very quickly Dremel so yeah the the drill is just basically cut some holes out for us to get us started with the dremel make it a lot easier here and essentially all you want to do is cut a hole that's large enough to allow an Ethernet port to pass through it not really necessary to clean it up very much because it's all gonna be covered by the access point itself but still a hole about that size should be good enough it's going to close the garage and yeah all that's left now is to mount this to the ceiling pass the ethernet cable through I actually have two Patchen and end on to it and then yeah you can mount the access point to it there other way is to do this other things to use this is just what I had on hand and we'll take a short cat6 cable from here to the access point now you can see cable passes straight through Oh cut out we made and yep got four puffs back on just like that if I can reach it I really need a ladder looks good kaolin and let's get the access point am I still working on the couch she's still working on the couch is she not paying attention to your money I should have paid that to me Oh we're gonna plug this in first right here I can get to it oh this little cover here yeah gives you a little slot for cable to be routed ah here we go oh I need a ladder so bad and yeah so really the only downside of using this method is that you can kind of see the outlet cover underneath I guess above in this case the access point I don't think it looks that bad though it would be honest and if you have tall enough ceilings it kind of just yeah you don't even really notice so I'm fine with that for now doesn't need to be perfect it just needs to work and not look terrible and I think we took care of both of those in this video all right so a few lasting thoughts about the ubiquity process and the set up just the products overall how I think that they fair given their prices these are definitely premium products you could do this a lot cheaper you could buy just the home solutions we went with the enterprise solutions because I wanted to step up my networking game just a little bit and that's because I'm running the company out of the same house that I'm also living in so it has to be able to stand up to a lot and until we hardwire these computers I need to have strong access points that are preferably directional it's what these nanos do they also have the the in wall access points and the some of those even have that they act like little mini switches to but I'm very familiar with these the pros more specifically and I wanted to stay with this general style here that's why I bought the nanos probably shouldn't done that in retrospect it seemed as though the bill decided to cap off the outlets and the ceilings with actual outlet covers and used outlet boxes so they made the dimensions a bit weird but it's alright we worked around it something I will need to test long-term handoff capabilities it's always a complaint that I see in the forums people that use ubiquity products is that the handoff is a bit rough at times when you're talking about smart phones and other things moving from the the vicinity of one access point to another and for those who don't know what a handoff is in the case of a mesh network or where you have multiple access points the network needs to know that you're moving closer to one AP and further away from another so that it can hand off that connectivity so that you're not experiencing I don't know a network I don't think delay I mean you're gonna see network degradation if you move further away from an AP right but if you move closer to another one then the number needs to know that it needs to handoff right to that closer ap so seeing as though these are like literally on top of each other it's not really gonna be a big issue here and the house is pretty compact despite it being a two-story so I really don't think this is the best place to test it either but if I do notice any issues with that I will be sure to follow it up in a separate video if you hear the baby crying I'm sorry that it's just comes with the comes with a dad package I guess and I'm thankful that Lisa is able to keep him preoccupied while we're doing this I I will say again like I'm reminded of Apple when it comes to ubiquity with respect to networking very inclusive in its own right but if you try to add outside stuff like I have a ring security system I'm try to setup we'll see how well that works with the network and if we have any issues with connectivity there although don't imagine there will be many I mean this is literally just a Wi-Fi solution for now though we start hardwiring things maybe that that is where things will get spicy if you guys like this video again I do apologize that my new bean is probably showed through but I appreciate your patience be sure to give this video a thumbs up I would appreciate that
