And the router proved to be an excellent Wi-Fi machine in my testing, delivering the fastest performance to date. But like all things, it’s far from perfect. In …
At the request of many, this post, a supplement to the one detailing the UniFi Network, provides a quick yet comprehensive buying guide for UniFi Cloud Gateways. When you’re through, you’ll be able to pick the right UniFi “router” and other add-on devices, such as Wi-Fi access points and switches, …
