Has anyone ever moved the controller from a Macbook (Air) to an iPad app?

You can't. The iOS app can connect to a controller running on another host or it can do very basic setup of access points.

I’ll be happy with the basic access until I get another controller

The challenge you might face is that the devices are associated with a controller. Unless you transfer the devices from one working controller host to another working controller host you run the risk of losing the site when you kill the existing controller. At that point you may not be able to control the devices at all. Even with the correct credentials it doesn't work. I know this from bitter experience when I lost a Cloud Key during a controller/firmware update and it went down with a corrupted back-up.

I'll take a look but thanks for the heads up

Does anyone have the UniFi Switch 16 (150W)? If so, how loud is it?

I currently have the 8 port version and it's fanless. I will need more PoE ports when I re-do the CCTV but don't want the fan noise in my office. Otherwise I will just get another 8 port and link them via SFP, which would suffice for sure.

I've got the 24 port and as standard it was horribly loud. I've read that the 16 port is comparable to the 24 port.

Thankfully it's easy enough to swap out the fans and now I can't hear mine.

WJA96 · 21 Jun 2019 at 12:38

The 16-port is silent. The fans only kick in when it gets REALLY hot.

Excellent, thought as much when I looked at the spec sheet.

Sorry - I got you and @LizardKing confused.

Downgrading the firmware had little affect unfortunately, I had to disable the guest wifi portal to get any sort of consistency out of them in the end. They say its fixed in the coming firmware but we shall see...

I think it needs a firmware update to be in this state.

Out of the box, it may be noisy.

The fans don’t kick in until the SoC hits 74C.

I do, it sits in a cupboard at home which isn't very well ventilated and it's silent. I've just looked and it's 65 degrees with the fan off.

I guess it's been a while, the old behaviour was fan on all the time, was 'fixed' in a firmware update.

I've been running one for a bit, although it's sat in the loft so I can't hear how loud it is. I've just checked and it's 61C with the fan off, I can't ever remember seeing that the fan is on though.

Are there any other people using the Ubnt forum that are not able to see the beta stuff any more?

I get told this:

But when I go to the account page as it asks that tells me this:

Why didn't I think of that? Cheers!

Been having issues with my NanoHD recently ... just seems to, well, stop. Go to it and the ring is slowly flashing white. Hard reset it by removing the cable, waiting, and replugging and it normally boots up to a normal running state. Nothing in the event log on the controller (I see a message about it coming back but nothing about it having an issue).

Given the weather I could understand if it was a hot part of the day and it was over heating but it was fine on Saturday at 23:00 but was unresponsive at 08:30 on Sunday morning when it had had all night to cool down. Firmware on it is 4.0.21.

Any thoughts?

bledd · 5 Jul 2019 at 18:29

There are way newer firmwares.. update controller if you run one, then firmware.

Edit, controller is on
5.10.25

Firmware is on
4.0.42
