UniPi?
\nRamping things up for the great migration from Verizon FiOS.
\nEthernet is run from the ONT to the Atomic Pi<\/a> pfSense<\/a> box.
\nLooks like I am one phone call away from having the ONT switched from coax to Ethernet, which will bring the pfSense box online.
\nIn the meantime, I have gotten the UniFi AP<\/a> (802.11n 2.4GHz) online, but was using my Windows PC as the controller. Obviously, this was not going to work, so a quick DuckDuckGo<\/a> search gave me this guy’s tutorial. It starts with unboxing and doing the initial set-up of the Pi, so it was even quicker than his 5 minutes.
\nI’ve disabled the 2.4GHz radio in the FiOS G1100 router, renamed the SSID on the UniFi AP to match that, and BAM! I have slower\/older clients attached.
\nDEFINITELY need to start saving for the AC version of the AP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
