How I Solved Terrible Wi-Fi with a Proper UniFi Bridge Setup

Video Description

When your Wi-Fi keeps dropping, it’s not always bad gear—it could be bad design. In this video, I travel to Southern California to overhaul a ranch property that’s been struggling for years with unreliable mesh Wi-Fi. I show you how I replaced the old setup with a UniFi Express 7 gateway, a proper PoE switch, and a UDB Pro point-to-point link to deliver reliable high-speed coverage from the main house to an Airbnb in the back. Along the way, I explain key design lessons, PoE compatibility pitfalls, and why I still prefer Wi-Fi 5 for certain installs. If you’re tired of spotty connections or buffering, this walkthrough will show you how to build a network that just works.
