The UniFi NAS, is just a NAS. Nothing else. No Docker/apps/services, just a NAS.
They will likely introduce more "Protect" products soon enough.
Currently got 2 x UAP-AC-LR's in the house. I'm feeling the upgrade itch as they use wifi 5, are no more updates and me and the wife have got new phones, tablets etc, I've got 1GB internet too. What are my options to upgrade to? I was looking at the U7 Pro XG but not sure if that's overkill or not.
What are your issues with the current AC-LR? I use one of those on 1GB symmetrical internet and yes it's a big bottleneck but I'm still getting 250mbps a reasonable distance away on my old MacBook. So fast enough I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference with a better AP for my use cases. I have lots of wireless devices on WiFi 4 and 5 as well. I do have another AP (AC-Lite) too.
Anything that uses serious bandwidth is wired in though, such as server and gaming PC. Larger downloads on those would take way longer over the AC-LR and add to congestion, so if you do that it may be worth it but I'd also say if it's not a laptop consider wiring it...
The U7 Pro XG has 6GHz, 10GbE uplink and 6 spatial streams, so looks good value (if you can get that uplink speed and give it the PoE+ it needs) although coverage metrics compared to the AC-LR are less, so you could save a bit and go U7 Long Range if you need it but you'd sacrifice features.
If I could setup again, I would probably avoid Long Range variants as my logic is they may be more difficult to not get to interfere in a domestic setting but honestly maybe not an issue and someone with more experience on deployments may be able to advise. Depends on the site too of course.

Probably only issue I have is that there are no more updates so not sure how this will affect security. I get the same speeds as you and only really use wifi for IoT stuff and our phones/tablets (only 2 of us so not a massive amount of devices), everything else is wired in. It's more the ugrade itch than anything else
Praise be, got my first CF tunnel working.
Just to confirm going forward - the following should be OK?
Just to confirm going forward - the following should be OK?
- immich (docker/UGREEN) on a browser - CF (I think the 100Mb limit should be OK for this use case)
- immich on my phone - tailscale (as this would be through the app)
- Unifi console - CF*
- UGREEN NAS access - CF
- Other docker/UGREEN apps - CF
- Emby (HTPC) - will leave on Caddy for now but when I'm ready, going to try CF

Has anyone updated the network to 9.4.19?
The amount of horror stories and issues on the community page is a little worrying!

What issues are being reported? I'm on EA OS 4.4.3/ Network Application 9.5.15 and it's fixed some issues, especially false DHCP exhaustion.
The only outstanding issue I have is very slow uploads using WebDAV over HTTPS which is solved if I use a VPN on the client or plug directly into the ONT.
EDIT, it appears 4.4.3 has fixed the above.

They're all in here, all 26 pages!
For anyone interested as to what's inside a UNAS-2:
www.reddit.com
Apparently there is an internal USB-C as well as the external port, both of which can be used with NUT, to gracefully shutdown the NAS if it's connected to a UPS.

Same for me really. I've got a Synology 1621+ but not really used it for a NAS. So I've moved all my Google Photos 865GB! onto that and I can have the UNAS-2 in my campervan as "offsite" backup.
I'm still using Google photos but now under the Saved Storage options and the full res photos go to the Synology.
Edit, my order has shipped so likely get it tomorrow!

Finally going to be setting up my Cloud Gateway Fiber today. Not used Ubiquiti before but fancied getting it for when I swapped ISP's.
I only briefly plugged it in last night and it auto-popped up in the browser with the start-up page but I didn't progress any further as the new connection wasn't due to start until today.
Hopefully I will get things sorted as it's been a long time since I have had to do anything network related
.
Will ask now (just in case) but are there / is there anything special I would need to do/tick/enable/disable to make sure that an Xbox wasn't blocked from UPNP or IPv6 (there was a setting I had to change on my outgoing Fritzbox that a quick Google resolved at the time).
**Edit**
Not to worry, got everything sorted and the Xbox get's an Open NAT reading and also picks up both ipv4 and ipv6 after I found the right settings for that.
Pretty much the basics are up and running fine, didn't realise the small 2.5Gb Flex switches needed to be adopted (was using one of two fine for a week on my old setup before I swapped to the fiber gateway).
