• I use a Ubiquiti Edge Router X which probably has 30+ things connected with no issue. I've never really considered how it allocates bandwidth but I guess that's a sign that it works well.

    Bear in mind though that this is only a router and doesn't do wi-fi. I've got a ubiquiti access point for that and, again, never really noticed an issue.

    There are a lot of settings for manually/smart allocating bandwidth ranging from the simple to the I've no idea what this does.

  • Thanks, will have a look.

    Though, the Amazon description for one of their access points doesn't fill me with hope that I won't have to be spending the next couple of months setting something up ! (I guess it could be some sort of Amazon based SEO-bingo)

    "Innovative Antenna Design The innovative antenna design provides a long-range, symmetrical-link coverage area, and the antenna gain of the UniFi AC LR AP performs better than one-way, high transmit power does for connecting distant clients. Designed for Optimal RF Performance The newly redesigned UniFi Controller optimizes RF performance Scalable Enterprise Wi-Fi Management The UniFi Controller v4 software is a powerful, enterprise wireless software engine ideal for high-density client deployments requiring low latency and high uptime performance. With its software-based capabilities, the UniFi virtual control plane allows for unlimited scalability under one centralized controller. Remotely access the UniFi Controller to upgrade deployed UniFi APs while in the field."

  • Yes, it's not super simple, you will need a vague idea of what is going on to get it working. I was assuming that if you had loads of IoT stuff then you had a bit of knowledge but it isn't just a matter of plugging stuff in and it will work.
