re: What mesh system/brand are you using?

For those interested, Ubiquiti has a new product out called UniFi Express for $149, which I guess is their UniFi version of or replacement for their AmpliFi Instant/HD products which I haven't seen in stock for quite a while. Best I can tell, they tried attacking the home market with AmpliFi for a while, but are now just expanding the UniFi line into more residential products which I think is a good decision.

Apparently the Express can work like a typical standalone full-service home router with wifi, or it can just mesh as an additional AP if you already have UniFi wifi.



I've been running the old USG, and they have also recently released a replacement product for that called Gateway Lite at $129. It is a router like the Express, but the differences are it doesn't have wifi, it doesn't run the controller app itself, but it is more powerful as an actual router. I guess it's aimed more at small businesses or power home users. This would be the drop-in replacement for my USG, but I think I will get the Express instead because I wouldn't mind a bit stronger wifi where it's located.
