@fuznutz04 It is a nerd thing. I have been putting in Unifi systems at my friends businesses. I would like a more extensive firewall device. The edge router platform is nice but not as nice as a sophos utm. I would like to get a hold of a AmpLifi system to give it a swing and see what kind of features it has.

Maybe at some point Ubnt AmpLiFi will add eop to it's portfolio. I did want to bring up that LiFi is a separate technology that uses the visible light spectrum for communication. Just a theory that ubnt will get into the home market for it given the name "ampLIFI?" any thoughts? you never know

@DustinB3403 The FCC stopped the power companies here in the states form using it. It made the electrical lines antennas broadcasting noise.

@Breffni-Potter Yeah, that's not cool when the in home/office wiring isn't the greatest.

@DustinB3403 something like this, you would need to power the ap because it would be just plugged in. It would even look like what they have now for the AmpLiFi

@JaredBusch cool. It would have been nice for UBNT to use EOP setup instead of WiFi repeater setup or mixed the two. Have the WiFi ap units use eop to connect to the router but use ubnt roaming and hand off tech for going between ap units.

@DustinB3403 No, I meant to say "EOP." Ethernet over Power is a technology which uses the already in place power wire infrastructure of a building to interconnect device on a lan. This is also known as power line communication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_communication

In home products have been on the market for some time now. They have been getting faster and more secure just as everything does.

A product from Netgear http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/powerline/PLP1200.aspx

@scottalanmiller Preach it! In a home or an apartment, wire for the ap to router. If you can't use wire then use some nice EOP devices. Ethernet over Power has come along way but if you live in an older home the wire may not be up to snuff.

I do like wireless ptp but for business applications and not a home to garage or a business to sign application were Joe Blow cranks up the juice and uses antennas that are 90 degree in beam width because he "ain't got no time to aim nothing."

Looks cool. I was never a fan of repeaters, they add latency and congest frequency. Maybe UBNT will use multi-lane RF with some crazy polarization separation for the back channel. Say -/+ 45 is the sync pole for data transmission between devices and passing user packets between repeaters with home station and use VH for user devices. I would think something like that would cost a bit more, upwards of $500 dollars.
