In this video we are running ethernet in the attic and into the living room ceiling so we can mount our UniFi 6 Long Range Access Point. This access point should have plenty of WiFi 6 signal strength to cover the entire 2100sq ft home. This is a welcome homelab upgrade, however, I am a bit sad to see the UniFi AC Pro go. Oh well, at least the Mac Mini M1 will benefit from our upgraded WiFi 6 access point.
