To distill the Ubiquiti UniFi device user guides: 3 In the UNII-2 domain, your AP will operate at a quarter of the transmit power (250mW at best) and only if there’s no weather or airport radar detected in your area. What the chart doesn’t make clear is the maximum permitted power output: only UNII-1 (channel 36+upper) and UNII-3 (channel 149+upper) domains are permitted as 80Mhz channels at 1 watt. It is widely supported in client devices.

Where the 2.4GHz spectrum offers only 3 non-overlapping 20Mhz channels, the 5Ghz band offers theoretically as many as 25 non-overlapping 20Mhz channels, all free from interference from those microwave ovens, baby monitors and old cordless phones. Wireless-AC only applies to the 5Ghz band. I use 20MHz because I use all three channels (reserving one channel for Sonos, as described below). Depending on how many AP’s are in use, you can select 20MHz or 40MHz. I manually assign each AP to a particular channel in the 2.4Ghz band to avoid channel overlap. In the US, there are only three non-overlapping channels in the 2.4Ghz band: 1, 6, and 11. Because the 2.4GHz has longer range, it will be used by wireless clients when the 5GHz band is not available. Microwave ovens, cordless phones, analog cameras and other 2.4Ghz devices compete with WiFi for available bandwidth. Ideally, every network client would use the 5GHz band rather than the 2.4GHz band because there are fewer devices, less interference, and more throughput in that band. Spectrum Planning 2.4Ghz Channel Selection I solved the problem by installing a UniFi mesh AP at the edge of the garage to better blanket the driveway with WiFi. Similarly, my mobile devices had a hard time transmitting back to my AP through my garage’s firewall.I also needed to tweak the minimum RSSI and band steering settings to drive wireless clients to the 5Ghz radios. I found that I needed to turn down the UniFi AP’s signal, especially on the 2.4Ghz band, in order to better roam across AP’s in our home.But your mobile phone needs to transmit a strong enough signal to cover the distance back to that AP. You may receive a high AP signal on your mobile device. But high AP transmit levels are only one part of the equation. Since many wireless clients use cases include video streaming and video conferencing, I recommend keeping roaming times between AP’s below 150ms. 1 Most client devices factor received signal strength, data rates (PHY rates), frame retry rates, and other metrics to determine when to roam between AP’s. Because the 802.11 standard leaves the roaming decisions to the client device, all that your wireless infrastructure can do is to leverage standards-based or proprietary mechanisms to influence client roaming behavior. Your wireless clients control roaming handoff between AP’s. The location, power settings, and additional configuration parameters of your AP’s are critical. Don’t expect to deploy a multi-AP network in your home, leave everything at the default settings, and have it work flawlessly. This includes accounting for neighboring networks, interference, the density of your APs, the number of your wireless clients and their idiosyncrasies in terms of wireless standards support. To get the best results, you will need to tune your wireless home network. Your network design is the greatest factor for poor wireless roaming. If you don’t use Unifi Protect, Sonos, IoT, or femtocell devices, some of these settings below may not be necessary for you. I use them in our home with a gigabit-speed Internet connection. Finally, I sunset the Sonos Boosts in favor of a Sonos networking architecture that leverages multiple Ethernet-connected Sonos Beams.įollowing are my recommended configuration changes for an optimized Ubiquiti UniFi home network. Additionally, we supplemented the aggregator switch in the networking rack with a PoE US‑16‑150W switch for POE devices like the Cloud Key Gen 2 and Unifi AP’s.

Update: since I first wrote this article, we have upgraded our Ubiquiti Cloud Key to the Cloud Key Gen 2 and our USG to the USG Pro 4. If you have not already, be sure to read Part 1 This is Part 2 of my Ubiquiti Unifi Home Networking How To.
