OK, OK I'll take a look at unifi. And then I'll call Doug to explain it to me.🤓

Yeah, think I'll end up there as well. The 28s feel amazing WHEN the pavement is smooth. As soon as the quality goes to shit, I miss the bigger tires. 32 should be the sweet spot and is as big as the Vittoria Corsa Pros go. Did some good long rides this weekend so I feel ready to do the metric centuries I've signed up for. If I can survive the climbs, I'll finish no problem. It really is amazing how easy it is to pace with a power meter.

Birthday girl wanted pancakes.

Got the monster truck tires mounted on the Aspero today and went out for a spin. Was happy to average 19 with 40s and the bike turning itself into a single speed for the last 13 miles.

+1 for Unifi Cool RGB / Blinkenlights Power over ethernet (PoE) means you run single wire installs to both network and power your equipment. and daisy chain them to where you need them. Plenty of info / tutorials on YT. Your use case? Router (that supports PoE) where the internet comes comes into the property connected to a UPS, That enables the first building, Ethernet to the other two buildings then add switches and Wireless access points as required. simples.

I don't use mesh but I will definitely also recommend Unifi. I have a Cloud Gateway, a U6 WAP and one of their switches. The whole system was a dream to setup and piecemeal upgrade-able should I need it. No required subscriptions or cloud BS either for the security-minded folks.

Look into unifi wifi https://ui.com/wifi It's meant for covering a large area with easy integration of multiple access points. You could put one access point in the main house and another in the loft over the garage and you should have excellent coverage everywhere. You would need to install the controller on your computer to set everything up, but once it's running you don't really need to do anything else. It would also give you the ability to easily monitor it all while you're away. You could continue to use the current router, or you could use a unifi router (I have an extra in a box that I never opened of you want it).
