Nice super tigers !

Can’t find a uk release date so tempted to go the eu store

I ordered off the Unifi EU store, the box shipped from Prague, Czechia - it shipped with UPS trackable courier service so you can track your parcel's journey. Took 5 working days, it was sat at Frankfurt airport for 2 days waiting for a flight to London!!

Thanks for the info , just placed an order at the eu store

Hopefully all goes well , can’t wait to get rid of this router and extenders

Has anybody got the UDM going with BT Infinity, I’ve set my Netgear D7000v2 to modem only mode and during setup of the UDM specified WAN as PPPoE [email protected] / bt but it can’t get a connection. Anything I’m missing or know where I can look on the UDM for PPPoE logs?

You can SSH into the UDM , use root as username and then use your login password as the SSH password and this will let you in. Help brings up a list of commands available, sadly /var/log/messages brings up a permission denied message.

Can you get connected if you plug your PC straight into the Netgear and dial a PPPoE connection through it? At least then you know which bit of kit to look at.

Why does the in-wall AP take so many volts to power it?

Thanks I’ll give that a shot tonight and see if I get any further.

I’m able to tail /var/log/messages as root however I’m not setting any ppp logs. Will have a hunt around again tonight and see if I’ve missed something.

Eh? It wants 48v which is totally standard for PoE. Some Ubiquiti uses 24v passive PoE but that's by no means a widely used standard so 40v 802.3af/at would be my preference.

Looks like the first bit of WiFi 6 kit has been announced - I'm interested.

Is the Amplifi gear standard no frills gear compared to the UniFi gear ?

Last nights yolo purchase of a Dream machine might of been poor timing

Users on the AmpliFi forum have been asking for IPv6 prefix delegation (needed for many UK ISP's) for over 2 years now. Unless support massively improves, I wouldn't recommend it, better off waiting for UniFi WiFi 6 products.

Would stick with what you have, more comprehensive feature set and better support.

Thanks for the hint, even under windows i'm getting errors when i create a new dial up connection directly wired into the modem. Looks like it's time to get a Vigor 130 or an OpenReach one if they are still recommended.
Gone for the Vigor 130

Does BT Broadband internet require you to have PPPoe to connect on VLAN ID 101? Had a quick look on line and it seems to be needed?

I’ve seen mixed reports on the bt forums, I’ve tried with and without and had no luck with either.

I had hoped that would fix it. What type of connector does your BT infinty connection use into the Modem? Is it an RJ45 connector?

Standard telephone modem cable rj11 I believe then rj45 to the router. Can’t see may people online using the d7000 as a modem only, best guess is something was broken in a firmware update. Will test tomorrow / Friday once the Vigor arrives.

You don't need to use VLAN 101 on the PPoE settings on your router if your using a bridge modem. It's set on the modem only.

Hi guys, will this power supply work with the UAP-AC-IW? I tried the 24v power supply but I get no life from the AP at all https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OFFICIAL-Unifi-48v-802af-Universal-PoE-Injector-BRAND-NEW/293325593038?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=ac84a916bd484f19a50c860026573b69&pid=100675&rk=4&rkt=15&sd=193208860061&itm=293325593038&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:aba32fda-0891-11ea-9a58-74dbd180d697|parentrq:75229d1316e0aadcc7898461fff3f4fa|iid:1

Just to let you know I recieved this yesterday and it works with the in-wall, Im glad as that would have been a tenner wasted..

48v sounds a tad extreme to run a ap thats all

Its a PoE standard, I very much doubt the logic inside the AP is running anywhere near 48v, more like the usual 3.3-12v depending on the components.
