Available options for the access point.
Someone more experienced can share how the WRT32X stacks up against the Ubiquti AP-AC-PRO and AP-HD models. I currently own an AP-AC-PRO and appreciate its advanced capabilities. My work involves networking, and I enjoy experimenting with the UniFi controller during my free time. However, I face a few issues with Ubiquiti products that complicate things. My 2.4GHz devices connect to the internet but struggle on the 5GHz or Ethernet networks.
The router matches the AC-HD thanks to MU-MIMO technology. Confused about 5GHz compatibility? Check if both 2.4GHz and 5GHz are listed under the same network name. Regarding Ethernet access, devices may not detect it unless explicitly enabled. I enjoy experimenting with UniFi controllers. Looking forward to the Edgerouter 4 release so I can test more configurations. Haha.
Back then, with the older 2.4Ghz Chromecasts, I could only stream to the sticks when connected to a device on the 2.4Ghz network. My 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz SSIDS were separate. Any devices using Ethernet or 5Ghz couldn't access the Chromecasts.
Are you certain you didn't create distinct networks for every frequency? Many users successfully run smooth networks using Ubiquiti equipment.
Only the ISP was included. All other features were turned off, except the routing capabilities.
It shouldn't happen by default, but separating each network into a VLAN would fix it. That seems unusual to me. I haven't encountered this problem before. APs generally let traffic pass through unless you use isolated VLAN SSIDs. The router or managed switch usually blocks such devices. Also, I haven't been able to ping the devices.
