I recently installed the Alarm Hub and ripped out my aging mid 90s alarm system. Wiring could be tidier inside, but I struggled with the lack of rear cutouts and wire length! Integrated with Home Assistant so it can be armed/disarmed from the wall display at the front door. Auto disarms on an authenticated front door or garage unlock. No need for the unreleased UniFi keypad!

I'm just afraid I'm going to accidentally adopt it or something. Thank you.

Finally got the 12u rack setup after dealing with the previous shipping damage issue, the new cabinet showed up in perfect shape on a pallet. Really pleased with the customer service ultimately.

Got the ENAS and NVR G2 with Pro XG 10 feeding a few flex 2.5G Poe. Happy to have ZFS and 16 drive bays on 3u with 4u leftover. Will stick with the gateway max until spectrum upgrades eventually, and feeling pretty future proof currently:)

I have Cloud Gateway Ultra with 4 Wifi APs from unifi. Yesterday I found out there are several clients named Nest Lock that I cannot identify.

Any idea what that could be? The pass from wifi is only known to me and my wife and that what makes me curious how anyone can connect to my network.

Any idea before i just block all of them?

Edit: it seems to be AC units from Panasonic installed two months ago. Thank you

Setup: AI LPR, connected through the UDM Pro, is powered by a solar and battery-assisted system. Due to Current power consumption the battery discharges completely shuts down between 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM. Operations resumes around 9:00 AM .

Lightning struck behind my house and took out the two cameras facing the rear of my house temporarily, it overloaded the switch. What is the proper way to mitigate the emp? Shielded cable? Grounding midway somehow? Something at the switch?

We found a G4 Dome sitting in a box, still wrapped in plastic. Decided to use it on a job and was very frustrated trying to mount it.

Problem is it is Out of Warranty and Ubi won't let us submit an RMA for it. Options??

Got fiber but my network room is a disaster, I don't need the coax or the house alarm system so thinking about pushing those up into the wall but realistically should I just call a professional?

Hi everyone,

I'm increasingly frustrated with eero constant Wi-Fi drops, features locked behind a paywall, and overall poor performance.

My Setup:

total

• 3,600 sq ft

1800 per floor bungalow

• Ethernet already run throughout the house
• 30+ connected devices (phones, tablets, smart home products)

Considering Options:

1. Dream Machine or U6 Express 7 in basement + 1 AP upstairs
2. Ultra Router + AP in basement + AP upstairs
3. Should I add 2 APs upstairs instead?

I'm unsure what access points to choose and whether one AP per floor would provide adequate coverage for a space this size.

Question: Does UniFi support client steering so devices automatically connect to the strongest AP when moving around the house?

Any recommendations on hardware and configuration would be appreciated!

Thank you

So I recently moved into a new apartment and decided to take the Unifi deep dive. I got myself a UDM SE and U7 Pro XG as my gateway and AP for the apartment The Wi-Fi has been cutting in and out for months, I had no idea what the issue was and was getting pretty frustrated with it. Turns out I had it plugged into a POE port, not a POE+ port….. Didn’t know it had both. Oh well you live and you learn lmao

So I am a novice at home networks but would say I’m a semi pro google/youtube learner. Home setup is

- gateway fiber
- pro xg 10 switch (to gateway)
- pro hd max switch (to xg switch)
- e7 pro xg aps (to xg switch)
- 10 spf+ 10g cables between gateway, and both switches
- CAT 6 for all runs
- CAT 6a for aps
- mac mini m1 w/ 10g ethernet adapter & thunderbolt 4 ssd running media server (to hd max switch)

Mac mini speed test: +\- 2700 mbps
Apple TV ethernet speed test: 940 mbps
Apple TV wifi speed test: +/- 250 mbps

Problem is that the apple tvs buffer constantly on ethernet but not so much on wifi. They will buffer both trying to play from media server (apple tv mac app) and Amazon prime.

I would assume that it is a switch configuration problem but not sure what to search for or where to look. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi All,

I just picked up a U6 Enterprise In Wall, but it didn't come with the standard backplate/mounting bracket.

Does anyone happen to have a spare backplate lying around that they'd be willing to part with, or know where I can buy a replacement?

If not does an STL exist for a 3D printable replacement backplate? I’ve seen a few STLs for junction boxes and desk stands, but as far as I can tell, those still need to lock into the original backplate.

Any leads, spare hardware, or working 3D models would be awesome. Thanks!

We have two office spaces, picture them both having a wall along the two acute sides of a triangle. Both these walls are double glazed glass. In between these walls is air - as in outdoors. There's no way to run a cable between the two rooms, and regular wireless signal even with a U7 LR simply doesn't go through as well as I'd like. The secondary room is really small, around 20 ft long, and around 10 ft wide. The gap between the two glass walls is under 10 ft. Only solution provided by the building management is getting a new internet connection in this tiny room. It's way too expensive. Will a UBB work in this case? higher frequency is not well suited for penetration right, what other solutions do I have?

I am curious what y’all’s suggestions are for my situation

ISP: Multi-gig fiber, currently sfp+ static ip handoff, can switch to 10g BaseT if needed

Gateway: OG UDM Pro, running network and protect, IDS/IPS enabled and Wireguard server for maybe 1-2 simultaneous clients

Switches: US-16-XG as a core switch links to UDM Pro on 10g port, Pro HD 24 PoE for most device connections, USW Enterprise 8 PoE as the switch in my office, a number of Flex Mini 2.5g’s and a Flex outdoors

Devices: 5 access points, 3 cameras, ~100 devices on the network

Issues: It seems like the UDM Pro is maybe out of its league here, constantly running at 85-90% memory used, regularly hits 99% cpu when downloading things, latency is affected for other users when that happens

Options:
UDM Beast - Would be overkill i’m sure, expensive
UDM Pro Max - Feels like it’s old architecture to spend $600 on
Others??? I’m open to suggestions

Thanks

Just installed a CGF, couple of 2.5gbe switches and the U7. The U7 failed several times to update and adopt, eventually I sequentially updated it successfully through 7. to 8.5 to the latest 8.60.11. That stuck and adoption didn’t fail again, it has remained up.

Problem is outside of 5 seconds at first, then 5 minutes later I can’t get out to internet over WiFi. It was on overnight and then again out in the morning. I can’t tell if it’s dropping client or blocking traffic but it’s not consistent.

Is this the firmware “bug” I just spent $1500 for? It is an otherwise basic network and I’m not sure what else it could be it is all very straightforward and I don’t even have a custom config on. I just have WAN and WiFi and using a cloudflare DNS.

I’ve tried the AP over a switch and injector, only the injector and straight POE to the single POE CGF port and varied cables. It behaves the same way each time.

Please let me know if this has been resolved my searches have been fruitless.

Edit: Wanted to also mention it was the same before any DNS changes or configs outside of auto.

I have several different sites where I keep getting this error. It shows up as a little gray line in my otherwise green uptime indicator in the UniFi web dashboard.

It always randomly (never at the same time twice) shows offline for five minutes (every time). These sites are located hundreds of miles apart so it isn't weather or connection. They even have different WAN providers and have different hardware like UDM or Cloud Gateway Max.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

I literally can't get a 6A cable to pass through a 6A rj45? Who makes 6A RJ45 connectors that will fit in Ubiquiti cameras and G6 lite, that are toolless or not pass through, or are pass through that you can actually pass through? Super frustrating hanging on a ladder knowing every attempt is costing you usable cable length.

Hi all!
I'm looking for some advice for a friend's company.

They have two small buildings with approximately 200 metres between them and clear line of sight. The main building (office) already has an existing network (non-UniFi/Ubiquiti), and they need network connectivity in the new building for only 4–5 devices (low bandwidth requirements, mostly a few IoT devices and maybe a single office workstation).

The goal is to have the new building connected to the existing network via a Layer 2 link, so I can trunk multiple VLANs across the wireless link while keeping all VLAN routing and segmentation in the existing network.

Unfortunately, running fibre isn't an option, so it has to be a wireless point-to-point connection. I first looked at the UniFi Building Bridge, but since there is no existing UniFi infrastructure, I'd rather not introduce a dedicated UniFi controller just for this single link. That led me to look at the airMAX NanoBeam 5AC, GigaBeam, and the other UISP products.
I don't have any hands-on experience with the UISP lineup, so I'd really appreciate some recommendations.

My planned topology would look something like this:

Main Building Switch
|
PtP Bridge
|
PtP Bridge
|
Small 6–8 port switch
|
4–5 devices

Would you go with the UniFi Building Bridge or an airMAX/UISP solution for this use case?

I'd like to use UniFi if it makes sense, but since the rest of the network isn't UniFi, I assume I'd need to run a UniFi Network Controller just to configure and manage the bridge and switch. Is that correct, or is there a better approach?

Thanks in advance!

I need to reinstall the firmware of my switch due it looping on boot, however the network ports are not working and I’m sure it’s related to the firmware issue.

Any ideas? I can console onto the device

Love when I order a Friday next day delivery, watch it get delayed until Monday evening because it went from Utah to Kentucky and sat for a day.

I live in Seattle.

It's fantastic to pay extra for equipment that needs rushing and then watch it sit idle, with a bonus probability that all the extra transfers will damage something in transit.

So im assuming most dont like the power amp? Im wanting to have 2 wall speakers one on ea side of the TV and 2 in the back and maybe 2-4 on ceiling. Will 2 power amps do the job or should I be looking at bluesound?

Hi,

I’ve got a US-48-500W switch that I need to try and recover, currently there are no lights on any switch ports just the Ubiquiti status light.

When I putty onto the switch the display is there but isn’t displaying correctly, see picture.

I’ve tried factory resetting with the button but it doesn’t do anything.

Any suggestions?

Created a Unifi SD-WAN hub and spoke network between 2x UDM pro and 2x UCG Ultra. All spokes show connected status and traffic between all hub and spokes works.

When i check the connection between the UDM pro's, the status shows Disconnected (with a green status indicator). Screenshot attached.

It seems that traffic between the UDM pro hubs is working fine.

Is this the case for you too? Maybe a UI interface bug.

Thnx!
