Wi-Fi Extenders in 2026: Smart Fix or Stopgap Solution?

Wi-Fi extenders vs mesh systems in 2026: what Australian NBN households need to know before spending on coverage upgrades.

The Daily Perspective

When migrating a site's config and devices from UniFi Network to UniFi OS Server I accidentally configured a invalid inform address that resolved to a wrong IP address.

All devices which got the wrong inform address recovered somehow and found the new controller - except for the the UXG router.

So now I have to travel there today and reset and readopt the router. If you don't have SSH enabled on the unifi router there seems to be no sane way to recover this. 👀
