Fritz 5690 Pro + Unifi PoE AP’s
Hi!
I run a Fritz Box 5690 Pro on the ground floor and Unifi U6 Pro Access Points on the 1st and 2nd floor, connected to Ethernet coming from the ground floor’s router via PoE. I am stuck with PoE for the AP’s.
All have the same WiFi network name. I optimized radio signals as much as possible.
Now, I want to set up a true Mesh network. One annoying issue is that I cannot walk around the house without losing connection because my devices need to reconnect to another WiFi network in the process.
I found out:
- Fritz did not adopt EasyMesh but created their own propriety protocol.
- Fritz does not sell Wall Mounted AP’s with PoE.
- A solution seems to be to have a PoE splitter and replace the Unifi APs with Fritz ones, but I hear varying results on voltage performance (plus I can’t wall mount it).
Any suggestion on an elegant solution? Thanks!
