UniFi WiFi 7 Beware

Updated: Mon Dec 8 15:29:55 EST 2025

This rant will develop. The first generation UniFi WiFi 7 access points (such as U7-Pro) do not perform well. There have been over 100 updates including beta versions and the forums are still full of complaints. The perfect 2.5mbps PoE switch to power those WiFi 7 devices is now considered "vintage". It is a PoE+ switch and it is not adequate to power the "new" WiFi 7 access points which require PoE++. Did they figure out that PoE+ could not provide enough power for a WiFi 7 device that works?

more details will follow

Concrete Driveway Expansion Joint Sealant

Thu Aug 21 16:18:06 EDT 2025

Here are the tools and sealant to caulk concrete driveway expansion joints to prevent erosion of the soil under the driveway. This is recommended for any concrete driveway that has a slope. Self leveling is ok even for some reasonable slope. If the slope is too steep the same product can be used in a non-leveling sku.

Light grinding of the expansion joint will clean out the dirt and bits of concrete. Cracks should be opened with a grinder also. Probably a narrower grinder blade would be appropriate.
