Ap Wireless Bridge Traffic Not Routing

Fantastic AP, and I use it's wireless uplink and work fantastic!

I have been looking to replace my wireless gateway from Comcast for a while now. Recently some new products such as the Google Home caught my attention since they had multiple access points that are placed around your house. This setup has been used in enterprise for years. The only downfall which made me stay away was the lack of customization and advanced features. Using the Synology Router has been like no other. The user interface is the best I have every used, there are so many features and add-ons, I have yet to use them all. Some key points of the router is the 802.11ac antennas, they also operate at a newer channel so currently I am the only one in my apartment complex to be on this channel. The add-ons that are built into the router are pretty useful, my favorite is intrustion prevention since it will monitor network traffic and alert and or block traffic is reconginizes as being harmful. Overal I love this router, many of the issues I had with the range and connectivity on my old gateway have been resolved with this new router. I will continue to purchase their routers in the future. #sweepstakes

After a recent renovation, I ran cat-5e to every room in the house, in hope of having less traffic through the wireless and a more secure environment. It just made sense at that point to upgrade to GigE, and this product was perfect for the project, given the extra number of connections.

We use this WR841  as an Access Point to connect wireless to a second WR841 with DD WRT  configured as a Client Bridge.   The PCs connect to the Client Bridge with Ethernet cable.  This set up allows PCs at the other end of the house to stream TV programs from the internet.   Earlier, we tried connecting the PCs with USB wireless adapters.  But the signal and data throughput from the USB adapters was  variable and unreliable.   This setup with two WR841s, in AP/Client Bridge configuration, is just about bullet proof.  We are very pleased with our purchase and highly recommend the WR841.

I'm using 2 as a wireless bridge from my house to my shed. They were very easy to setup and pair. Based on another review I did get them paired first before setting them up in their final location, great idea if you can.

I setup 2 of these in a larger house. There is one in the front corner of the house and another one in the back corner. The second unit is setup as an Island AP (wireless uplink to the wired AP). I am then able to walk almost 400 feet from that AP and still get outstanding ping times and great speed test results. The whole property is covered and is about 4 acres! Please note that the 2.4GHz is for the longer range. The 5GHz does not go nearly as far. Also you must use their 24volt power injectors as they are not standard PoE (they are included).

I bought this router and paired it to my 2 ubiquiti wireless ap's. Router works great! Highly recommend. Read all the great reviews about it. They aren't lying.

The U6 LR is preforming (wireless experience) better than the UAP AP Pro I was using. WIFI MAN testing (same settings) roaming, signal. throughput, and latency all appear better with the U6. After configuration to channel band width 180 their was higher connection speeds, lower latency, and better signal strength at the same client locations I tested. I would recommend switching to WIFI 6 if some of your devices support it. Upgrading to WIFI 6 may not be for you if you are not actively upgrading clients and/or AP's. I would strongly consider WIFI 6 for new install. Site 1800sq feet single fam dwelling, one story, 3 bed, 2 bath. Well covered indoor by 1 U6. 8 clients 2.4, 5, 6 balanced WIFI band steering. Good luck!

Purchased this, along with an Edgerouter SFP to replace an aging Netgear router/wireless AP in my apartment. This AP is definitely overkill as far as range is concerned. It provides a stable/quick connection at a great price. I wasn't able to mount this thing on my ceiling right away; I just let it sit on the floor for a few days and you can tell the massive difference in connection quality. Mount this thing on your ceiling if you get it. I guess my only gripe would be the UniFi software. I would really prefer to be able to just log into the AP itself rather than running a controller installed on a PC. It is designed to be an enterprise solution so if this AP is the only UniFi piece of equipment in your network, the UniFi software is going to look very empty or incomplete (photo attached). I knew how the software was going to work prior to my purchase; it's definitely not enough to take a star away. This is probably one of the best wireless APs on the market for the price whether you place 20 of them in an office building, or 1 of them in your living room.
