Hey guys, am I right in saying the US-8-150w the SFP ports are only 1Gb instead of 10?

Yes, only the US-16-XG and US-XG-6Poe have 10GbE copper and SFP+ ports although the US-48, US-48-500W and US-48-750W all have 10GbE SFP+ ports.

Ah ok thanks they’re all out of price range as it’s only for home use. What benefit does fibre have over copper if they’re both 1GbE then?
 
I'm looking for a bit of assistance from someone if possible for the Edgerouter X setup.
I've finished off my wiring (apart from the sockets but using an extension cable at present)
I can't seem to get any internet access. I've began using the basic setup wizard. Put in my details from Zen, put Vlan as 10 (correct?).
I'm using a Zyxel modem in bridge mode so I believe it's up address for login is 192.168.1.1 which is the same as the Edgerouter so I'm guessing this is big part of the issue.
Any pointers on getting this changed and up and running quickly? It's a whole new interface for me so getting a little lost.
 
If the Zyxel is in modem mode then it has no IP address, it just hands put whatever the ISP is feeding it.

So I don’t think that is the issue here.
 
Hmm when I was using my D7000 I had to change its IP address from 192.168.0.1 to be on the same range so put that to 192.168.1.254
Before I posted I've tried clan 1,2,10 and 101
 
Got it sorted eventually.
The issue was with me and plugging my extension cat5e in for testing. I was using the two wire method for DSLstats on the Zyxel and used the port which looking in the Zyxel menus was configured for LAN and not WAN.
Swapped them over and reset and setup the Edgerouter again and away it went!!
 
Anyone have any ideas why my 8 port switch is showing as disconnected. Yet my AP that is via said 8 port switch is working ok and PC connected to the 8 port switch are also fine.

I've rebooted 3-4 times now and still not "Connecting"
 
I've seen that a few times. Can you ping the switch? On occasion I've had to SSH into one of my switches and do a 'set-inform' to get it to reconnect to the controller.

When you're SSH'd in, what does 'info' tell you?
 
Been doing some reading into Ubiquiti equipment and I keep seeing some people say that they wouldn’t deploy it into a business environment. What are people’s thoughts on this? I run a very small business (4 users, likely to grow to 10 eventually) with very simple requirements so assumed it would be ideal but wanted to check what the opinion is.
 
No idea why people would say that. We’ve got 8 UAPs across four floors in an old warehouse style open plan office and they’ve been rock solid in a wireless congested area. I can’t remember a time anything went wrong and they’ve been there for two and a half years. That serves maybe 300 devices simultaneously.

I would say it's aimed more at business and a bit overkill for most home setups.

Nobody ever got fired for buying Cisco. What you MUST bear in mind with UBNT or Mikrotik or Envision is it’s built to a price. And that price is about half what you’d pay for Cisco Meraki (and Cisco take a hefty monthly fee for the SDN) so something has to give. And I would say that you will see more hardware failures with a Unifi or EdgeMax than you might with Cisco Meraki but the price advantage is so great you can buy a few warm-swap spares and still be quids in.

Just remember that 3 is adequate, 2 is 1 and 1 is none and you’ll be fine. In the last year I’ve started to do high-end home installs and my initial quotes always include 2 USGs, 2 switches and a failover WAN connection. Because if you’re spending £1M on a new home, and £1000-£2000 cabling it up, an extra £300 for a spare switch and a spare router is cheap for the peace of mind you get.
