Nope. There can't be a lot to copy over (unless you've set up a USG).
I guess you could go all command-line-fu if you wanted and rename the corresponding folders into each others site ID's? I don't know how well that would work if at all but in theory it should.
I've got multiple switches, a USG, VLANs, OSPF etc, so pretty complex.

Maybe renaming the containing directories is the way forward then. I'd be tempted to spin up a test one first though to double make sure it didn't break everything (or at least run a backup).

?? no idea
I'm talking about changing the folder names with each other. Guess it may not work.

Hi all,
Similar to Type_R I'd like to get into Ubiquiti and I currently have a Virgin Super Hub 3.
From the research I've done (admittedly small) I thought I would need the following:
- USG
- Switch
- APs
From reading the posts above it reads like I shouldn't be getting the USG?
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

That depends on what you need it to do, getting 'into Ubiquiti' is a little vague and sounds like you have some sort or networking hardware fetish that would be on BBC3/C4. If it's just wifi issues, then buy an AP and install it centrally, no need for anything else, if not then tell us what you want to do.
Sorry, I should have worded that better.
The Super Hub 3 (150Mbps connection) we have currently is in my office upstairs and my main PC is wired directly into it by ethernet.
Directly below my office is our living room. The TV/Apple TV have real issues streaming at times over the wireless connection and some times just connecting. My other half will often ask if I'm having any slow down or connection issues.
Periodically we just have to restart the hub for the wireless connection.
I'd like for the wireless connection to be more reliable and allow us to boost the WIFI connection around the house at various spots.
We do have quite a few smart devices (bulbs, thermostat, alexa etc.) along with phones and laptops also connecting to the hub which I would assume isn’t helping either.

Slightly disappointed, the blokes who had sexual relations with cars and the woman who married/had sexual relations with the Eifel Tower was a documentary to remember 
In that case i'd probably start with an AP, install it to test in the office and see how you get on - this will require you to run a cable with either a PoE injector or PoE switch (injector comes with the AP). A word of advice, IoT devices tend to be low bandwidth, 2.4Ghz is usually a better idea for them as it's penetration is better - given the documentary comment, that's possibly the wrong thing to say

Hey guys
Setup a Unifi Lite AP, which is absolutely awesome. Took the stress off of my ASUS router for all my Google Home devices and the field for Wifi connectivity is tenfold.
Looking through the stats I see thousands of TX retries, is this something I should be bothered about?
thanks

Tried that on a test VM, didn't work. Guess I'm going to have to manually edit the mongodb.

It's free for 12 months, after that it's $9.50 (from memory) unless I'm mistaken?

Always free tier should cover it.
There isn't one for the required compute is there?
Soldato
I thought you could but I’ve never actually spun one up myself as I run on a home brew ESXi box internally.

Picked up one of these bad boys to replace my awful TP-Link router. Got a Ubiquiti wireless AP downstairs as well, which is working flawlessly.

Be careful with upgrading to the 2.x.x firmware just now. A lot of people are getting issues resulting in bricked devices. I believe the latest one is mainly causing issues with the Edgerouter X varients though.
