Enhancing internet connectivity in a Canadian apartment space
Enhancing internet connectivity in a Canadian apartment space
Hey there, I heard you're having some issues with your current router in Canada. Streaming over WiFi to your NAS from a laptop can be tricky, especially when you're close to the router and using the 5GHz band. You're considering upgrading to an Ubiquiti UniFi UAP AC PRO, but you want to know if it really makes a difference. Others have shared their experiences—some say it improves performance, while others report mixed results. It might help to check what your current setup is doing and see if moving to a different model could help. Let me know if you want more tips!
The UAP AC Pro functions as an access point rather than a router; it only offers Wi-Fi connectivity without handling routing tasks. You just need to turn off the wireless setting on your Telus device for it to work properly. I don’t have any experience with Ubquiti, but they are widely praised. Have you considered relocating your existing router away from the television? 5G signals tend to weaken in such environments, and TVs often block them.
Thank you for your feedback. I understand now you need a different type of access point instead of WiFi. I’ll arrange the box first to check if it improves things. Appreciate your help.
Is this compatible with your TV and other gadgets? Can your phone function well on the 5GHz band where your TV is? I haven’t checked it recently, but media bridges were used before. You connect them to your current network, which then supplies an Ethernet port or more, depending on the device. This setup gives you an Ethernet port for your TV and possibly other needs. There are also powerline Ethernet options, which could work in an apartment setting.
