Anyone used Precision Rack Mount Kit, 20-Pack

Looking at these and rack studs.

Sorted rack cooling with one of these UniFi kit running cooler now.

Back looking at UDM-SE over Sophos XG / pfsense again with the pending 9.3 updates.

Yes but no. Personally I buy stuff for our business (probably medium in the "SME" paradigm) - I'd rather just have a NAS that does NAS things well. Compute/Containers are better placed on a separate server / mini PC / etc.

The only reason containers etc ended up on NASes, is so that the vendor could sell you a new NAS every year with a better processor/more ram for compute. The core NAS functionality is unchanged, and even a 10 year old NAS likely still does it's job absolutely fine.

As long as the storage side is solid, and ideally the network side is reasonably forward thinking e.g. Multi-gigabit at a mininum (i.e. not stuck on gigabit ports like Synology were for years)


For home absolutely, but as an SME I'm not buying a generic N150 device. Rack mount is function not just form.

Totally get it for an SME, they are not buying a random N150 based device from a china no name brand with no support.

But given how much Ubiquiti kit is purchased by enthusiasts, I’m wondering how many SME’s would go for it given it’s so new in the market. Its competitors offer more functionality (at a higher price mind) and have a more established brand in the market.

It’s only very recently Ubiquiti have gained a positive reception to their products which aren’t access points and switches.

I've looked at those before, but I'm not sure if they are any good or if they move air at any volume.

Unless it's the 3U model with 120mm fans, then they are either going to move no air or be screaming away... there's a reason PC cases moved away from 80mm fans...

What frequency bands are you using?

I have pretty old APs so only have WiFi 4 and 5 and to pre-empt possible issues with the signal on my G4 Doorbell Pro, I’ve even added it to a 2.4Ghz only SSID I run. It has more than enough throughput and a stable signal.

What are the signal levels reported on the doorbell?

Maybe it needed to settle. Flawless last 48 hours. Connected on 5GHz, signal strength of 55% (-68 dBm) and 200Mbps Rx/Tx rate. So signal strength on the edge.

Mine isn't in an area where noise is a factor. I've got 3U version with 2 exhaust fans in the top of the cabinet, seems to be helpoing.

3U and not in a noise sensitive area, I agree it would be an issue otherwise.
 
I've just ordered a UDR-7 and want to know the best way to transfer the mgmt from my self hosted Network server to the new UDR-7, can i just import the backup from my Self hosted server into the UDR ?

Assuming its the same network versions backup and restore should work fine. I've gone through UDM, UDR, UDM-Pro, UDR-7 and now UCG-Fibre that way.
 
Yes but they both need to be on the same version. The UDR will probably ship with an old version of the network application, it will need an Internet connection to update.
 
I've managed to migrate a CK setup to a Ultra and a UX-Express to an Ultra with no issues.

I'm looking at a SE or PRO-MAX at mo with a complete stack consolidation, but prob is I think Unifi firewall is still lacking in areas like ASN and lists etc.

Indeed, plug the UDR-7 WAN port into the existing working internet service, update it to latest or matching version then factory reset.

I guess as long as its the same 9.3.x codestream the backup and restore should be ok ?

Yes, as long as the new device is running the same or newer, it should import fine.

As I often swap between Gateways, I backup the network config and copy it over. However, depending on the device, you may need to remap the WAN ports.
 
Do you know what would be good - an HDMI over Ethernet with built in USB and app controlled switcher - like an HDMI Matrix but more versatile. Would make for easy centralised storage of computers/hardware into racks and then distribution easily across a house!
 
Please don't jinx myself but think my mini reset of our network is running sweet. Plonking a U7XG downstairs has greatly improved the signal and having 6GHz is a bonus. And now all wired machines in the house are running at 10Gb :).
 
Going from a UDM-SE to a UCG-Fiber this week, main reason is that I've signed up with EE 1.6Gbps broadband and the UCG-Fiber has PPPoE offload so can get full speed with IPS/IDS all enabled. From what I've read the UDM-SE would struggle as it has no PPPoE hardware offload.
 
Avalon said:
Is anyone able to comment on current PPPoE throughput on the UDMP/UDM-SE? I see a change of ISP coming up and my current ISP is DHCP and the short list of options is mainly PPPoE, and while I can go 'down' to 900/900, i'd prefer to go up from my current 1.2/1.

I've seen a few reports myself that while it can handle 1.2/1, it's only able to handle it with IDS/IPS off. If you want to use those features with a PPPoE connection, with the additional overhead it will struggle, per my previous post thats why I am switching to the UCG-Fiber.

I’m likely going the other way and sticking to DHCP based options, sadly they don’t generally offer static IP’s, but I would rather work round that and have IDS/IPS and a 8TB mechanical drive for CCTV.
