Next-Level Home Networking: Our Ubiquiti UniFi Installation in Mernda
Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi for a Smarter Home: Our Ubiquiti UniFi Installation in Mernda
The Challenge: Reliable, High-Speed Connectivity for a Modern Home
Our client in Mernda had a clear goal — upgrade their entire home network to handle heavy streaming, work-from-home setups, and multiple smart devices without dropouts or lag.
They’d already invested in top-tier Ubiquiti UniFi equipment, including a Cloud Gateway Fiber, a Pro Max 16-PoE Switch, and U7 Pro XG access points.
They wanted it all installed, configured, and integrated properly — with all wiring concealed and optimised for performance and future upgrades.
The Solution: A Fully Integrated Ubiquiti UniFi System
Our team designed a clean, efficient setup tailored to the home’s layout and connectivity needs.
Scope of works included:
Installation and configuration of the client’s Ubiquiti system
Two U7 Pro XG access points (ground and first floor)
Replacement of the NBN line with two CAT6A links for improved connectivity and redundancy
Backbone link installed between the study and upstairs linen cupboard
Relocation and neat organisation of all network gear in the linen cupboard
Testing, commissioning, and labelling for a professional finish
Our electricians and data techs — Blake, Tom, and Phil — ensured every cable was terminated and tested to manufacturer standards, keeping everything neat and concealed.
About Ubiquiti: Professional-Grade Networking for Homes and Businesses
Ubiquiti is a global leader in professional networking technology, known for its UniFi system — a unified platform that brings together Wi-Fi, switching, security, and even cameras under one dashboard.
With Ubiquiti, homeowners can enjoy:
Enterprise-grade performance at home
Seamless roaming between access points
Centralised control via the UniFi app
Expandable solutions — from Wi-Fi to cameras and intercoms
Beautifully designed hardware that blends into modern homes
For this Mernda project, we used the UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber and U7 Pro XG WAPs, which deliver next-level coverage, speed, and reliability — even in large multi-storey homes.
Optional Add-Ons: Cameras and Intercom Integration
As part of this install, we also discussed integrating a Ubiquiti camera system in future stages.
This includes an 8-channel NVR (5-series) and 8MP cameras, all managed within the same UniFi dashboard — creating a truly unified smart home system.
We also pre-wired for a potential intercom setup to make future upgrades plug-and-play ready.
The Result: Fast, Reliable, and Future-Ready
After installation, the entire home achieved consistent coverage, low latency, and blazing-fast speeds across every room and outdoor area.
The homeowner can now manage Wi-Fi, devices, and (eventually) security from a single, intuitive platform.
It’s an investment in both performance and peace of mind — built to handle the future of smart living.
