Yeah. He might eventually add a second phone if his home business grows. So we will cross that bridge later.
Do you manage your mom's through unifi or anything? Or did you just configure and drop it in place?
He has a home business and is putting in consumer networking? I'm not likely to advise consumer gear even when it's truly a consumer situation. But for a business situation, never. You want an ER-X minimum here, and ERL more likely. Right tool for the job.
Agree 100%. I should have clarified. He is 99% of the time, using his cell phone, with no current plan to use the SIP phone. Just wants something quick and easy for his family.
I had another person (business owner) ask me the same question about a simple, all in 1 solution for router/WIFI. It must work with VoIP as well.
Any business grade solutions that are physically all in 1? None that I currently recommend.

Part of the problem here is...
- Business = not dictating the solution but the goal. Let IT find the solution that meets the goal.
- Business = not all in one. All in one is a consumer thinking way of viewing tech.

Could not agree more. Some people are just too cheap for their own good. If you can't spend a couple hundred bucks to setup a proper network foundation for your business, then you have no business, having said business.

Not that it is any of my business

I was going to add a #business, but thought it might be a bit much.

ER-X and Unifi AC Lite > $150 plus install.

AmpliFi is managed through an app.
I gave myself remote access via said app with a google account.
In fact, I believe I bitched about that requirement in the thread I posted pictures in.

Well my google-fu failed me, I try searching for
"jaredbusch" "AmpliFi" "mom" site:mangolassi.itin hopes to find those screenshots.

I’m wondering what this search string would yield...
"jaredbusch" "FFS” site:mangolassi.it

@fuznutz04 said in Amplifi Home router:

I had to try it. On Google, there is 10 plus pages of results.

For what it is worth, I put one of these in my Mom's house as their home router for Christmas last year because they were not getting signal across a 2,000 Sqf house. I haven't touched it, rebooted it, or even thought about it in a year with no issues.

Does it auto update?

I can’t remember I think there was a setting for that though yes
