How we solved our office Wi-Fi problems

I have a full UniFi setup in my home office/house and it is glorious. It Just Works!

Well, with the one exception which is the Cloud Key. I’ve yet to see it run for more than 24 hours before soft rocking and requiring a total re-setup of the network.

The new (but not widely available) Cloud Key Gen 2+ model is much more stable. It also has a battery so it can gracefully shut down mongodb after 10 seconds of no power. The + model replaces the cloud key and nvr. There is a non-plus model coming as well but that hasn't been released yet.

I need a wireless bridge and am a bit overwhelmed with the various Unifi offerings. Can you recommend a setup?

I have my unifi controller running on a raspberry pie and it has been very reliable. Might be worth a shot.

Having spent too much time on HN today, I’m going to try put a PiHole on the same Pi as a home controller that is especially under taxed. Will see if this combo works. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18075159

I’m looking into hosting it on DigitalOcean, seems easy enough.
