#2I keep meaning to produce a post like this. My setup is not nearly as pretty though. Love to see the cannabis grow operation exhaust fan, haha. Very well done!

#3I just bought a Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE along with a U6 Enterprise a few weeks ago and so far it’s my favorite tech purchase ever. The management interface is years if not decades ahead of everything else I’ve used before.
My only complaint is that there’s no public API and thus no official Terraform providers.

The Unifi software is pretty incredible. I am not using their router though (well... an ER-4 but it does not share the same management mechanism) so I am missing out on a lot of the goodies.

#5Wow, and my wife says my network is complicated! :)
In all seriousness, thanks for sharing, this is really incredible. I see a few similarities (fellow Harbor Freight shopper, ADS-B receiver)... but I took the mostly lazy way out and just use the TP Link Omada router, controller and access points. Works great for well over 50 wireless clients that we had at a recent BBQ. I particularly love your note about encrypted LoRa networks at the bottom there, I'll be interested in a follow-up on that topic. Thanks again!

#6This is incredible. I still can’t believe some people get 1gb symmetrical in their home. In the UK I’m stuck with 70mbs down and 6mbps up. Pitiful

Should hopefully change in the next few years, about 54% of houses have fibre to the property and the plan is over the next five years to expand that to nearly 100%. I have had 100/1000 for a while now but symmetric is still a rare product that only smaller competing fibre companies are rolling out.

#8Nice and clean, great work!
If you don't mind me asking, does your energy bill take a huge blow because of this? I had a modest homelab set up and had to start shutting things off due to how much it costs to keep it running
I apologize if I missed this info in the blog!

ERX here. The EdgeMax line is still rock solid and have incredible value for the price.

#10All that and no mention of IPv6? At least get the basics down first.
