*** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

Probably about 5 times a week I’ll transfer a 40 to 80 gig file. I’ll give it a try and see what the transfer speed is like. As long as I can still pull full speed on downloads with virgin 350meg I’ll be happy.

Appreciate the advice.

You’ll get the speed from the web without too many problems. That 40-80 may chew down a bit though. Best to test it, monitor CPU usage and what the transfer speed looos like. Would be better to try and get it all behind 1 port if you can though.
 
Hello, I need some help with my USG security gateway config. I'm on cloud controller 5.11.31 and I cannot for the life of me get my Hikvision CCTV ports to populate with a external address. I know i'm doing something wrong, perhaps i've not set it up properly.
 
my two hikvision cctv shows no external ip for me to be able to view while away. Upnp is enabled but still not allowing to open port.
 
Yes, in the diagrams on UI.com it’s effectively the same coverage but the AP-AC-HD and AP-AC-SHD are better and both do everything the NanoHD does ie. they are Wave2 devices.

Sorry, do you mean that the AC-LR and NanoHD have effectively the same coverage?

In other news, finally sorted my USG on Sky. The USG is probably one of the worse devices I’ve had to set up. So many times I just exclaimed “why the hell are you doing that?!” Lol. Sorted now though, thankfully.
 
Here is my UniFi map, its pretty simple.

Yes.

It has its foibles. :)
 
You know you could LAG another port if you had space on the switches?

Yes, it's just neater to use the 2 x SFP ports on the US-24-POE as uplinks as they are for access traffic really and thing that needs more than that comes off the XG16.
 
If anyone is curious, 10 Gbps works fine between the Unifi 16 XG and a Microtik CRS305-1G-4S+IN using the appropriate SFP+ adapters from fs.com.

I now have 10 Gbps between my PC downstairs and my VMware lab and NAS upstairs. Very handy as I do a lot of PoC work prior to working with customers and the extra file transfer speed comes in extremely handy.

It's frustrating that UniFi don't do a small 10 Gbps fanless switch in the UK and even the US version is expensive compared to the Mikrotik.

I expected to have to re-head the cables as the terminations are not something I am proud of, but it worked initially and it works at 10 Gbps just fine with no errors.
 
Have you seen the new MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM? £450 delivered for 12 10GbE 10BaseT ports or 8 10GbE 10BaseT ports and 4 SFP+ ports. It’s a BEAST a switch and it was full layer 3 routing too. It’s excellent value.

I wouldn't expect much routing out of a single core MIPSBE box with a 1Gbps uplink into the switch.

I’m slowly rounding on the CRS309. 1U, 8SFP+ ports and passively cooled.

The routing in any CRS isn’t ever going to be amazing, they are a switch with “some” L3 ability. Certainly not something you want as a core router.
 
Ok so I'm very new to the Unifi AP system and how it works but from what I can tell amongst various websites this is the way to go for a network upgrade.

I'm running a basic SH3 on 200/20 line and the WiFi is woeful upstairs I have many dropouts and connection issues over the past year and VM tell me my hub is performing 'fine' but as you are all probably aware the Superhub3 is a pile of turd.

So I have heavy device usage on my home network around 12 -15 devices and since I rely heavily on streaming as my source of TV content throughout the house as well as an avid gamer the time has come for a upgrade.

3 Smart TV's (1 ethernet, 2 x 2.4Ghz)
4 Smart phones (5Ghz)
2 Now TV boxes (5Ghz)
2 Xbox's (1 ethernet & 1 on 2.4Ghz)
1 4k Firestick ( Ethernet)
1 tablet (2.4Ghz)
1 Alexa (unplugged at min)
1 Ring Doorbell 2 (2.4Ghz)

Virgin media tell me my usage is VERY high and often they to get me to upgrade to a high package but first before I do anything like that I want to sort out my network.

I plan to run an ethernet cable outside and then back in side upstairs using existing holes from an old installation but the AP won't be on the ceiling more likely wall mounted high up.

I live in a standard 3 bed semi detached home interior walls are mainly plasterboard so signal level isn't bad downstairs despite poorly place Superhub3.

Just want to know where to go budget isn't a huge issue as it will be a slow upgrade process just wanted advice as to what to get AP -LR/AP-Pro, how many to buy, what router to get etc

The plan is to extend the wireless so its not weak across my home and speeds don't drop/wireless cut out and to generally improve my network to a point where it's set should I upgrade the speeds.

Sorry for the essay just wanted to be clear, thanks.
 
If you MUST wall-mount the access point then get something designed to be wall mounted.

The UniFi AP-AC-Mesh, AP-AC-Mesh Pro, AP-AC-IW, AP-AC-IW Pro and AP-HD-IW are all designed to be wall mounted. The in-wall units are particularly good for your application as you can cut the plasterboard and install a back-box to fit the unit to. And the IW and IW pro give you two RJ-45 sockets and the AP-HD-IW gives you 4 RJ-45 sockets.
