Are you losing speed with your UniFi mesh network? In this video, I put UniFi Mesh Wi-Fi and wired backhaul head-to-head to find out which one really delivers the best performance for your home or business network. We’ll break down how mesh works, why your bandwidth can drop by 50% per hop, and when it actually makes sense to use mesh instead of pulling cables. Plus, I’ll show real-world speed tests (WiFiman & OpenSpeedTest) comparing wired and wireless setups so you can decide what’s right for your UniFi network. If you’re running UniFi APs like the U7 Pro, U7 Pro Max, or any Wi-Fi 7 model, this video will help you build a faster, more reliable setup. #UniFi #WiFi7 #MeshNetwork #InsideWire #Networking #HomeNetwork #Ubiquiti #wifitips UI Links: Store - Hire Us by visiting or email us on info@ Join this channel to get access to perks: Check out my other products on my Amazon store page: US: UK: Canada: Germany: France: Italy: ============================================================================ Help me to bring you more great content by: - Give to the channel: - Ubiquiti Store link: - Amazon affiliate link to purchase items through Amazon ============================================================================= Facebook: Instagram: (@itsinsidewire) Twitter: (@itsinsidewire) TikTok: @insidewire? 00:00 Mesh vs Wired Backhaul 00:49 What happens when you mesh 2 APs 01:37 The Setup 04:13 Testing Wired and Mesh (1 Hop) 06:03 Setting up the Second Hop 06:42 Testing 2 Hops
