Ceiling mounted access points
We are renovating our house and our electrician is running some Ethernet cables from where the Virgin Router will be (Hub 5) to a couple of locations that have, historically, struggled with WiFi. ...

Hi All - thank you for your help so far. Our renovation has just completed, so I am looking at hooking up my U7s.
I have my Hub 5, which is connected to a POE switch with a CAT6 cable. The POE switch is then connected, via 2x CAT6s, to my 2x U7s.
I've now gone to the app to set up the U7s, and it's telling me I don't have a 'UniFi Cloud Gateway'. My question: do I need this? The app allows me to set up without, but I wonder if there are any benefits I am missing out of?
To recap, I only want to boost signal in my home - I'm not too fussed about remote management, but do I need this Gateway to move from room to room without disruption (ie, accessing one AP in one room and moving to another AP in another room)? Sorry to sound so basic, but I appreciate your help, as always.
Thank you
I’ve never used the app, as I have a UDM Pro that runs the controller. The controller itself "UniFi Network Application" cab be run on a Raspberry Pi, Mac or Windows machine. Take a look at www.community.ui.com where there is oceans of useful information.
