Power remote devices up to 800m away over a single Ethernet cable when paired with the required Long-Range Endpoint.

🔹 8 PoE+++ ports, 90W each.
🔹 IPX5-rated outdoor endpoint with built-in surge protection.

Recently added 8 port poe switch, should I move my AP from the gateway to the switch? Or keep it on the UCG fiber’s poe+ port?

AP is U7 Pro XG.
The 8 port switch is powered by a 10g poe+++ injector. Budget is at ~6/46 W after powering 5g backup and 5 port switch.

UCG fiber and poe+++ injector are both plugged into the same ups.

As a side note I believe my budget should be higher according to the specs I should have 76 W available when powered by poe+++.

Hi all Unifiers,

For my new home (in the Netherlands) I'm looking for a complete new network setup with (I think) Ubiquiti Unifi.
Below my list of components which I probably will order.
Also added some images of the floor plan of my house; blue dots are AP's, red dots are camera's and the orange dot is the doorbell.

Network:

• 1x Cloud Gateway Fiber (UCG-Fiber)
• 2x Flex 2.5G PoE (USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE)
• 2x AC Adapter 210w (UACC-Adapter-AC-210W-EU)
• 2x U7 Pro XG (U7-Pro-XG)
• 1x U7 Pro Outdoor (U7-Pro-Outdoor)

Doorbell, camera's etc

• 1x Unvr Instant (UNVR-Instant)
• 1x Seagate SkyHawk AI, 8 TB (ST8000VE001)
• 1x Doorbell Lite (UVC-Doorbell-Lite-B)
• 1x WiFi Smart Chime (UP-Chime)
• 2x G6 Turret (UVC-G6-Turret-B)
• 6x Ethernet Surge Protection Outdoor Pro (UACC-ETH-SP-Pro)

Any advice is much appreciated!

Just bought a viewport so i didnt have to run a chrome tab 24/7 on my pc. super disappointed with the viewports basic capabilities. ive got 3 3rd part 4k cameras that would only work on the viewport if i turned them down to 1080p (they would work individual but as soon as i added a second camera, 3rd party or unifi the viewport would not display the cam)

ive given my doorbell lite 50% of the monitor and it only displays a tiny little window in the center surrounded by black bars on all sides. There is litteraly no way to make the doorbell cam a reasonable viewing size

in my research to see if there was fixes people have been complaining about this stuff for 6 years.

the 3rd part cameras are so slow to be displayed/connect on the view port that you cant have 2 cams on the same square as they would never load

im so glad i bought the viewport used for 20% retail.

I was reviewing some settings and I went into Control Plane > Console… I noticed the location of the device was set to the wrong area, like different state - Kentucky somewhere… I set it to the correct location and went back into Console and I noticed SSH was enabled, I opened the settings and there was a user name, appeared to be random letters, a lot of Gs like: dhsjegggggsus, there was also a password in there. I viewed it and again random letters. Certainly nothing I ever set up. I usually keep SSH disabled.

I exited the console without changing anything. I opened two other consoles to check their info, all disabled. I went back to the original console, and now SSH was disabled and being disabled there was no info in there.

Logs show nothing, and I am the only admin on this console. It was purchased new and has been running for over a year.

Does this sound like a glitch? Or something concerning?

Hello! I'm tearing my hair out trying to understand what has happened to my network and how to fix it. It's been pretty solid for a long time and I haven't really made any drastic changes, but the end user experience has been bad the last month or so...

Quick overview

- UCG Fiber

- 10G DAC to a USW24 Pro Max

- Edge connections from that to one G5 Turret (via a PoE injector), a Brother printer, Philips Hue hub, a HP N54L Microserver, a pair of 2.5G ports aggregated to a Thinkcentre for VMs/LXCs and a single 1G for Proxmox itself

- One connection again via a PoE injector to an AC Pro ceiling mounted on the top floor of my townhouse

- Then other onward switches - 2 Flex Minis w/ a handful of simple edge devices connected, 1 Flex 2.5G with my main PCs and work laptop docks, 1 USW Ultra again via injector in my detached garage powering 4 more G5 Turrets and an UAP AC-LITE (the garage AP is not meshing and is set to low power to avoid it ever stealing devices from the in-house AP)

As I say everything has been working great for a long time, but recently a few issues have come up which may or may not be related. The first is that there was a period where a lot of devices (mainly wireless ones) were seemingly disconnecting and reconnecting extremely regularly and I was seeing the "STP Convergence" warning. I eventually tracked this down to the fact that I hadn't aggregated the 2x 2.5G ports on the Proxmox host and set them as STP Edge. I also discovered one of the leaf switches was flapping, I suspect a bad cable somewhere - so I unplugged it from the network entirely to try and rule it out.

However whilst things are a lot better than they were, both my wife's iPhone and my Pixel plus a few other wireless devices seem to be disconnecting and then immediately reconnecting (and in a way where there is an obvious interruption, e.g. you open a browser and it's frozen for a good 10+ seconds before it reconnects and loads, and you sometimes see the phone drop from the network briefly and rejoin).

The only other changes I have made outside of ones trying to troubleshoot this were adding a new SSID/wireless network for the Steam Frame (but I disabled this some time ago when I thought it might be contributing)

Any tips at all on where to start investigating this? The thought has occurred to me that the signal strength to the upstairs AP could be responsible, but as I say it's been stable and fine for ages - also I've seen the disconnects happen when stood right by the AP so I don't think it's that...

My good friend is building a warehouse out and asked me for ideas for access points. He got a pretty outrageous quotes from. He want's me to do the install, however, #1 I'm 5 states away and #2 I've only done a few warehouses and never with this many isles with this much density on the shelves (solid wood). I know what I'm capable of and it's NOT this type of job... but I figured I'd at least send him an idea of where I'd start. He just needs a handheld device to take inventory inside the isle. Not asking anyone to design this, but I would appreciate any feedback as I go on my journey of learning and maybe give my buddy some ideas.

My thought was to use a directional AP like the U7 Outdoor, you may need to flame me for this idea... Then to offset the APs on each side, 1 AP per isle. The idea was as they got further away from the AP, the next isle should have some bleed over and pick up. 30ft ceiling, he said the inventory is usually pretty full of boxes of particle board wood. Those long grey boxes in the middle are 24ft shelves. the isle are 6ft wide (which sounds really narrow to me). I threw an AP for his loading back area that is open and his small office in the corner. My 2nd idea was omni directional U7 Mesh units, but closer in the isle and still alternating.

Am I close? Am I awful? Am I insane for considering UniFi? I appreciate any feedback to help me grow.

Is anyone else having issues with L2TP/PSK VPN server in UDM-Pro/Maxx products on the latest update? I have around 8 customer sites that were using L2TP/PSK with Windows NPS/Radius and have been rock solid for years, within the last 2 weeks ALL of them have stopped working.

Attempting to replicate the issue, I found that I could authenticate from lab systems without issue and it seems to be the clients machines only. The only difference between the lab and clients is that the clients machines rely on "UseWinlogonCredentials" to automatically authenticate them.

The UDM's all show truncated VPN users when looking at the client list, all of them have the first letter of their username stripped and appears to be truncated by the \. Maybe there's some sort of parsing error? Given some recent experiences with the cloud backups being corrupted, I'm reluctant to try rollback any of their UDM's.

The sites use various Windows Server editions, from 2008r2 up to 2022.

I have a UDM SE with 5 wireless access points throughout the house. All wifi 6, one in-wall, 3 wifi 6 lite, and one wifi 6 long range.

I have an older model Windows Surface Pro 4, as well as a newer ThinkPad laptop. Both connect to my home network but can't access the internet. Meanwhile about 30+ other devices in the house including phones, tablets, gaming consoles, smart TVs, cameras etc have no issues with the wifi.

I've tried trouble shooting and haven't been able to figure this out. Sometimes I'll get a brief connect and it works, but then it stops. Have tried things on both laptops, and checked settings on the unifi network using AI to trouble shoot but can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently upgraded a wireless link from M series NanoBeams to AC, servicing one UniFi access point in another building (via two PoE injectors back-to-back).

The wireless link has been rock solid, but I've been getting drops in connectivity. Looking at SNMP logs from the NanoBeam station, the problem is on the ethernet side (eth0 link goes down and back up). Often it stays down for hours then magically comes back up on its own. Rebooting the NanoBeam while it's down doesn't help.

I think by now I've swapped out the UniFi AP, tested all cables, and even added a small managed switch between the PoE injectors. After the switch installation, it stayed up for several days, but yesterday it still went down for about 10 hours on the NanoBeam-to-switch link. Uptime on the NanoBeam is several weeks now, so it's not rebooting, just dropping eth0 link.

NanoBeam is wired with maybe 40ft of cable to the injector (not ToughCable, but it is shielded outdoor CAT5e).

The NanoBeam was purchased used on ebay, so I can't rule out failed hardware, but I've just never had a fault act like this before.

Curious if anybody has any other suggestions. Thanks!

A month ago I made a huge upgrade to my Homelab. My server (HP Z440, 96GB RAM with Intel Xeon e5-2697 + Nvidia P6000 24GB + 3TB) was always standing on a fridge in my room and with more important services running and more gear I got for my infrastructure I saw the need to buy myself a smaller rack mount to put it into.

When I did my research I couldn’t find one that would fit my aesthetic standards, until a friend showed me this ubiquity mini rack. While it is mainly meant for networking gear like switches and such, I’ve measured it and found out that my machine (and probably many others too) fits perfectly in between ontop of the sliding tray.

It was a costly upgrade, hurt my wallet by around 500€ but it was worth it since I am planning to keep my Homelab for at least 5+ years in this config. And it looks so beautiful that once my Z440 dies, I will look for a case that fits the ubiquity rack, not the other way around!

So who did this too? I thought it might be worth to share :)

I’ve just gotten a Dream Router 7 and set up Teleport. When setting up my Content Filtering and IPS settings, I didn’t see the VPN zone in the list of sources I can enable for those features.

My plan is to use my mobile device to Teleport back to my home network while away from home, and I know some features like Region Blocking work.

Is it just not possible to enable these other features, or part of a future release or Early Access feature I might be able to sign up for?

I'm not sure if I'm going crazy, but I'm 99% sure that you used to be able to see VPN usage on the iOS app; if a client was pulling via the VPN, you could see upload and download.

I can't see the stats anymore, and I have to go into the more settings, web view version, not on the app.

My UDM Pro and 24 pro PoE are unfortunately not in a rack but rather on a shelf due to space limitations so the 2u UPS pro won't fit my needs unfortunately. Any rumors on if a new UPS Tower Pro is in the works? I'd love the ability to power cycle individual ports.

Everything is up to date. On the UDMPro, speed tests on CentryLink are reflecting a slow connection even tho Xfinity is accurate and my local computer running SpeedTest shows the correct speeds.

Any advice?

Question for anyone who's been down this road before: I'm wondering if any of the Unifi protect cameras or AI key / AI cams are suitable for this type of setup:

Small jewelry store wants the cameras to stay focused on the display showcase/ countertops - specifically be able to flag events where people's hands appear above the display case, or reach for jewelry, etc Those types of detections. I couldn't find anything about this. Lots of stuff about face detection, license plate detection, etc. But I'm wondering if anyone has answers on this.

Can custom rules or detections be added? Is 1 AI Key + standard 4K cameras sufficient, or do would the high-end cameras such as the AI PTZ Precision have somehow more advanced AI capabilities that might work for this?

I'm looking to pick up an UCG-Fiber and a switch (not sure which yet). I have read that Ubiquiti typically does sales for Black Friday and around Christmas.

I'm wondering if either sale is generally better than the other, or is that not consistent enough to say?

I’m looking to add a couple of these desktop switches to my relatively simple setup and wondering how they differ for what I need and which one I should get. For this run I want to connect 2 switches together in line, is that possible?

My setup for this: 500 Mbps fiber internet > UCG fiber > desktop switch (computers and printer) > desktop switch (computers).

Anyone here using UniFi to manage a Toast network?

We have a customer we’re looking to move away from Toast’s managed network and handle everything ourselves using UniFi.
I know we can separate everything with VLANs and firewall rules, but I’m curious how people are handling PCI compliance with this setup.
Has anyone done this successfully? Also curious if Toast gives you any trouble with support when you’re using your own equipment.
Just looking to see what others have done and if there’s anything we should be aware of before going this route.

I there any mechanism for uploading an image and having it set as a person of interest?

If I wanted to upload several images of an Ex so I can be alerted if they come around, can that be done? or would we have to print up pictures of them and wear them as a mask?

In stock…for now

Would appreciate help trouble shooting this.

Any recommendations welcome.

We manage multiple small businesses where we deploy Unifi as wifi. It can be everything from 1 AP to 15.

We use a CloudKey+ for all customers so we easily can manage them. We dont use Ubuquiti hardware as a firewall since we depoly other stuff for that. So we only use Ubiquiti for wifi.

The cloudkey has been working really well for us since we don't have to deploy Unifi OS Server on a computer or other hardware.
Now all cloudkeys seem to have been out of stock for a while and we need to deploy new Unifi APs to a new customer.

This customer only needs 3 APs. I feel that a Dream Machine is overkill for this and buying a UniFi Cloud Gateway only to mange the APs feels wrong since we have another firewall/router.
The customer is fully cloud so they only have workstations in the office and no servers or anything.

What are your recommendations for this? Are there other products more suited for this than the cloudkey or shoult we install UOS on a computer in the network until we can get ahold of a cloudkey?

EDIT: So a couple comment mentioned that you can use a hosting provider like Hostifi or self-host it. I got a test up and running and have 3 instances running now. Just a little more testning but it seem to work just fine. So we will do this instead of using a CloudKey in the future.

Some people didn't seem to understand that we don't use Ubiquiti for router/firewall. We just use it for wifi and another vendor for router/firewall.
