Ubiquiti UniFi Express
Question about Ubiquiti UniFi Express
question 1: i have bought 5 u6 access points. they are all connected to the same network in my house (basement, garage, roof, garden,...). do i now have to buy this gateway so that the APs can talk to each other and the clients can pass each other on? question 2: do i then have to connect all the APs to this device? or is it enough if they can talk to each other via switches?
First of all: The UniFi Express can manage a maximum of 5 UniFi devices, regardless of whether they are APs, switches, etc.
For your project, you need a PoE switch from UniFi. This will allow you to manage all APs. However, that would be a total of 6 devices, which the Express does not allow. Alternatively, you could use a manageable PoE switch from a third-party brand or use Injector to feed the APs and use a non-manageable switch.
Also note that the UniFi Express already has built-in Wi-Fi, so an additional AP may not be necessary
