I finally got my CGF last month, but it's still sat in the box :p. I would be interested in a wall mount but don't have a 3D printer. I'm also looking at the tray but the online retailer where I got the CGF from doesn't stock it, and it's a bit steep to buy alone from anywhere else that might stock it. I have seen that there are 3D printable trays out there, but for something that would be inside of the unit, subject to any heat from the unit and NVMe drive, and being plastic, I don't particularly like the idea of something melting or failing/falling apart inside of the unit.

Get it printed in PETG or ABS and it will be fine.

Even PLA has a glass point of 60C, I’d expect even that will be fine. (PETG is more like 85C and ABS is over 100C)
 
I've got my CGF in a 10" rack PLA case/shelf. The print failed due to running out of filament at about 70% but it's surviving better than the 10" rack chassis I printed which is sagging under the weight of everything. It's sat above a passively cooled PC who's case is pretty warm to the touch so that won't be helping.

Etsy will probably have 3D printed versions of the wall mount, can't attest to price though.

Ordered a Cloud Gateway Fiber to replace my Cloud Key 2 Plus and aging USG 4 Pro. Also grabbed a U7 Pro Inwall to test with.

The Fiber will let me enable IDS etc and still get enough througput on my Gbit internet connection. Native WG VPN will be nice but I think I'll end up leaving that on my docker server.

Next on the upgrade list will be switch :o

I've just ordered a CGF to replace my USG-3p, Was waiting for the email from BBB regarding their cloud gateway logins etc as its just plug and play when it arrives.. Just realised its now "self Hosted". As a John Snow, Is this going to wreck my head moving all my gear over to it or is it "Simple" nowadays
 
They seem to be suggesting that they're going to run ACLs as close to the devices as possible, so if you have a client on Wi-Fi and a host on a different wired subnet that you don't want them to access, traffic from that client will be dropped by the AP rather than dragged back to the gateway to be dropped.

As long as it comes with a robust set of troubleshooting tools so you can get a packet capture from the right place then it's a nice improvement. I would also expect some things to not support it, and things like the switch datasheets to specify whether they're working with it or not.

Should just be able to restore from the Cloud backup as part of the setup wizard.

I've just taken by USG 4 Pro and Cloudkey+ out and it was a very painless and trouble free install. I did disconnect my core switch and just had my desktop PC patched into the CGF directly with PPPoE Internet into the CGF WAN1. Plugged the core switch back in when it was all restored from a Cloud Backup. All my settings and config are perfect, the only thing I had to re-input was my PPPoE credentials.

The U7 Wall Pro is a very very sexy bit of kit. Took my RJ45 faceplate off, the U7 mounting bracket had holes which were perfectly aligned with my wall box. Left the RJ45 module and pushed it back into the box rather than crimping a dedicated RJ45 plug onto it and just used a very short patch cable which also could be hidden in the backbox. Lets me revert to an ordinary faceplate if required.

Not sure when I'll make the jump to WiFi 7. Id love the 6ghz stuff as well just so my faster devices can be on it, no neighbours have it yet so the airwaves are nice and clear, such a shame how congested the 2.4ghz gets.
 
@Sin_Chase I couldn't find a way to backup. (its all there in the console of the UCG but not on the BBB hosted interface) So started from scratch.. I could connect if I was on the same network, But had no internet.. After plenty of hunting i found an ip conflict with the virgin router, It had been in modem mode for months but I had to do a reset before going on holiday and forgot to switch it back... That was 2 hours of head scratching!!!.

Seems to be all up and running now.. Just got to reset and re-add all my sonos and Ring alarm stuff now. Dang and my heating and UFH stats too... And all the smart TV's... and..........

Everything seems to be working apart from my CCTV. Everything else is on 192.168.0.XX but the CCTV and DVR are on 192.168.1.XX Is there an easy fix in the console rather than having to reset all the cameras. (Hikvision)
 
Hey folks. I'm potentially looking at the Unifi Cloud Fibre for my home network. I've never used Unifi before, but wondering how well do these Unifi devices work with non-Unifi devices, e.g. managed network switches, like a Microtik?

This could be my first dipping of toes into the Unifi pond, depending on how well this solution runs.

As long as you're not expecting to manage the Microtik devices from the UniFi interface or vice versa you'll be fine. Things like VLANs will work fine as long as you've got the ports configured correctly and VLAN ID's match that'll work fine too.

Not sure what you’re asking? As long as you pass the vlans to your gateway you’ll see all clients. There isn’t any incompatibility risk.

Seeing this, I am very tempted to do the same on a couple of mine
 
How do you set up a 2nd WAN for failover purposes. I've a EE 5g Hub that I no longer need at the office so I've brought it home and connected it into the UCG Fibre, Told the controller what its plugged into (Port) and the Failover box is "Ticked". But its saying offline and when I unplugged the Virgin hub it didn't switch over.

EDIT: Needed to put the EE Hub into passthrough mode
