One thing to bear in mind with the design planner is that it assumes that you’re going to have the APs on maximum Tx power.

To be fair I’m coming at this from a high density deployment frame of mind because that’s what causes the most issues, in a house one up and one down on high Tx power might just be ok, but depending on the make up of your walls and the size of your gaff you’ll probably not get 6Ghz rates outside of the room of the AP.

Also have you changed the radio on the bottom right little “red-amber-green” scale? By default it’s set to 2.4Ghz, also on this scale you can click the actual dots and tweak the “power levels” for lack of a better word.

I’d put the green dot to -59dBm and the second dot at -70dBm.

Well I've taken the plunge and probably gone at bit OTT but gives me a lot of headroom in the future. Looking forward to setting it all up, just hope it's straightforward.

Any rumours of new wifi doorbells yet?

Rumours. You mean the new ones or are you expecting something else?

I thought they were all poe or I've totally missed the announcement haha.

Missed the WiFi bit. Does it not get annoying changing batteries all the time.

I don't know, never owned one. PoE is an absolute nightmare to run to my front door as it's mostly brick work and would also require a full deconstruct of the door to get it there.

WiFi models are mains powered via an ‘old school’ (aka completely common place) doorbell transformer.

I've currently got a USW Lite 8 POE switch. If i want 2.5Gb, is the USW Flex 2.5g the one to go for? I don't need the POE version as I only have the one access point powered from the POE port on the UCG Fiber. Would I use a DAC to connect the 10Gb ports together? Not something I've used before.

Either USW Flex 2.5G or USW Flex Mini 2.5G, either is a solid choice. I've got both at home.

DAC is an ideal way to connect a USW Flex 2.5G to your UCG Fiber. You could do it with SPF+ modules and fibre but DAC is the way to go.

Thanks, ordered the Flex 2.5G and a DAC earlier.

Q4 so anytime upto April 26

 

[b0rn2sk8]

One assumes Q4 is calendar year. Still a month to go mind…

 

[Rex-Kramer]

Q4 so anytime upto April 26

Says q4 2025 so presumably this calendar year rather than financial year.

I got the ucg max today to replace my ultra. I've done backup and swapped them over. Found the max, restore by backup and going through the motions but it's been 35 minutes now and still going. Is this normal?
