Just an little update. Looks like my two AP's disconnected from the controller during and update was causing one of my switches to send that error... A quick power cycle brought everything back online and was able to run update
In future when I get the message that all the equipment can be upgraded is there a specific order to them
USG
24 port switch
8 port switch
2 AP's
Cheers
Hi guys,
A friend of mine has just given me an ERL3, just wanted to run through quickly what the best steps are in terms of getting this setup.
1) Put SuperHub3 into Modem mode, Turn off SH3.
2) Connect to ERL3, run through the wizard and setup Eth0 as WAN and DHCP, the other two ports as just LAN. Reboot ERL3.
3) Turn on SH3, the ERL3 should pull in an IP.
4) Plug in rPI (pi-hole) into one of the LAN's and find the ERL3 settings to set the DNS address (IP of rPI) to hand out via DHCP.
5) Plug in AP to provide WiFi.
6) Reboot both the SH3 and the ERL3 and the ERL3 should pick up an IP from the SH3 (now a modem) and I should be rocking and rolling?
Have I missed any steps?
Not sure how I lived without these bad boys.
Just got the pair to replace my N66U that I was using purely as an access point.
Don't take this image as an exact replica of my coverage. The top and ground floor obviously aren't placed side by side like that.
Ars did a better review than I ever could: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...-realize-how-terrible-consumer-wi-fi-gear-is/
For me moving from a dual band 2.4/5GHz router to just the 2.4GHz versions was a no brainier. The walls in my 100 year old house just stop 5GHz dead and even the perfect placement under the stairs on the ground floor (slap bang in the middle of the house) wasn't enough to make it usable - unless you were under the stairs next to it
I've always said that I'd never use extenders as I've never seen it work correctly. Best solution with consumer grade stuff has always been to just name them differently so you can manually select which hotspot to use. But these things allow you to move between them flawlessly.
Even when I make a FaceTime call I'm able to walk from ground to top floor and have it switch in the background without dropping more than a second or two of video.
Even disconnecting the AP I'm connected to results in a seamless switch.
Love it and highly recommend them (after 48 hours of usage...)
Cheers, makes sense. Will plug my AP and rPI into a switch then run the switch to a LAN port on the ERL.Pretty much right apart from using the LAN port"s" on the ERL. The ports are not switched so any traffic going between them hits the CPU. You'd be better going out of a LAN port and into a switch.
How did you get the maps working - My controller says something about requiring access to Google API? Did you just draw your floorplan?

Received my Access Points and Cloud Key today and my POE Switch should be here tomorrow.
I am intending on just turning the wireless off my Sky Q hub and plugging it into the Switch... any issues here? Should I deffo be getting the USG?
I am still on v5.8 of the controller software using a cloud key, where are people getting the newer software or when is due to be released for cloud key users?
If you read the posts on the UBNT forums regarding the 4.4.28 update on the USG you can easily see why it can be better to let someone else install the newest and run it before you install it yourself.
Interesting, latest version is 4.4.29 which is what I am running and its been fine for me, what issues were people having with 4.4.28?
