The first post (in Dutch) has quite a few good tips on improving WiFi at your home or office: [WayBack] Router D-Link moet snelheid van 2,1Gbit/s op 5GHz halen – Computer – Nieuws – Tweakers.
There is also a nice explanation of beamforce, where the video below gives a good visual indication on how it works.

When your UniFi Cloud Key web interface shows this [Archive.is] after upgrading:
UniFi Controller is starting up…
Please wait a moment
Then you just ran into a bug which seems to occur most with 5.9.29 of the UniFi software: [Archive.is] “UniFi Controller is starting up…” “Please wait a moment” “5.9.29” – Google Search
The easiest way is to restore from a backup: this usually works.
For that you need ssh access, which usually is with the ubnt user. But you could have made life more complicated when you followed these:
Steps from [WayBack] UniFi Controller is starting up… Please Wait A Moment – Ubiquiti Networks Community (thanks [Archive.is] About mrfoxdk – Ubiquiti Networks Community!):
- SSH to the Unifi CloudKey
dpkg -P unifi- Open a browser and browse the URL of CloudKey
- Login
- Press “Install” under UniFi
- Wait for the process to complete, and then wait a bit for the service to be brought online.
- Recover the configuration backup from the latest backup
Step 2 above will purge the unifi software of the cloud key as per dpkg --help:

Seems my interest in Ubiquiti needs more research: [WayBack] Linus Torvalds – Google+: Working gadgets: Ubiquiti UniFi collection.
Hopefully by now I’ve time to re-design the WiFi coverage in the house and invest in a few of those access points.

Splitting 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz SSIDs: two ways (I think the second is cleaner)
For both the first and second one, you need to configure under “Config” -> “WLANs”.
For the second one, you can clone from the first, then change the SSID names.

A while ago, I write about Locally Administered Addresses: a few series of MAC addresses you can use on your local network: MAC address ranges safe for testing purposes (Locally Administered Address).
A while ago, I found ones in my network and ones in my WiFi SSID survey starting with FA:8F:CA. They did not show up in the Wireshark · OUI Lookup Tool nor their manufacturer database.
But with bit 7 turned off they start with F8:8F:CA which does show up as “F8:8F:CA Google, Inc.”
They appear to be Google devices, in my case Google ChromeCast ones, though they can also be Google Home ones.
Google does “magic” with networks, just look at a few of the links here:

Not sure when this happened but the CIDR list is no more [WayBack] https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt:
Dear partners, Please note that we have migrated the latest IP pools of WhatsApp to Facebook Mobile Partner Portal. Feel free to browse to the Settings page of the portal and download the latest WhatsApp IP pool: https://fb.me/mpp_support Further IP pool updates are also done through the portal and are no longer distributed via email or through WhatsApp web site.

In the past it was the place to get the CIDR so you could either block or allow WhatsApp traffic: [earlier WayBack]
It is still widely cited as way to regulate WhatsApp traffic, for instance at these places:
Time to find an automated way to get the replacement list. Maybe the below helps (via [WayBack] Block facebook messenger and whatsApp on Dlink router – Super User)
