2 months agoI just bought some UniFi gear for the first time. Cloud gateway fiber, u7 pro xgs and u7 long range.
Really like the dashboard, configuration, vlan.
Really dislike the WiFi APs, they’re AWFUL on range/speed. Updated, tweaked settings, Ethernet backhaul… I had better and more reliable coverage with a single ASUS router (but the asus firmware was terrible). A synology mesh worked pretty reliably too but no >2.5gbps wan port.
I also wish their DNS was more full featured. I haven’t dug into this much, maybe it is something I can do by SSHing into router, been too busy trying to get the WiFi improved.
Not annoyed enough to return the gear but really disappointed with WiFi performance.
I stumbled across this sort of fascinating area of doomsday prepping a few weeks back.

A nice addition to that, don’t just make it a USB, but a raspberry pi. So you’d have a reasonably low-powered computer you could easily take with you.
Not suggesting this one as it seems a bit expensive to me, but https://www.prepperdisk.com/products/prepper-disk-premium-over-512gb-of-survival-content?view=sl-8978CA41
