Unifi Air Review

I ordered online Unifi Air with device of 2 years contract on 22nd June 2022. I need it to put at my Airbnb unit at Genting Permai.

The device offered by Unifi is ZTE MF286C

Fast Delivery

Surprisingly I received the Unifi Air device and SIM card in 2 days. It exceeds Unifi promise to send within 14 days.

Setting Up the Wifi

Unifi already inserted the SIM card into the Wifi Router. So  I just need to set up the Wifi ID and its password.

To do setting, I need to connect using RJ45 cable from my laptop to the Wifi Router.

Then go to https://192.168.0.1 and default password of admin.

From the admin panel can change its Wifi ID and password. Then you also can change its default login password.

Fast Connection

The connection is fast where I can watch Netflix on 2 TVs and watch youtube at one phone and iPad. There is no buffering when connecting to internet on 4 devices simultaneously.

High Number of Connected Devices

I tried with 4 devices and all devices seems to have good internet speed.

Watching Netflix & Youtube at Genting Permai using Unifi Air

I use Unifi Air as my internet broadband at Genting Permai. Why I use Unifi Air? I chose it because it is affordable and unlimited data. My usage is not that heavy just watching Netflix and Youtube.

Average Download and Upload Speed

If not so many concurrent users, the speed is reasonable. On average download speed is 20MB/s and average upload speed is 2MB/s.
