Fundamentals of UniFi WiFi Design
Reliable WiFi is not defined by peak speed tests. In real deployments, stability and performance are shaped by how networks scale under load. Three forces govern that behavior: Spectrum, Airtime, and Multicast. Understanding these explains why WiFi quality can change suddenly and how UniFi is designed to remain stable as environments grow.
