So you have a PC hardwired into some sort of Router/AP which is which is transmitting some sort of WiFi signal which is then getting picked up by some sort of device in your bedroom... You need to be more specific.

Yeah. Asus ac66 router that's it in living room, all bedroom stuffs is on wifi to asus router.

Anyone using a 24V 1A power supply on their ER-X they can recommend?

I want to power a UAP-AC-LR via the ER-X (without using the injector on the AP or ER-X) but the ER-X only comes with 0.5A supply.

Ok, well I'm a complete noob at all this networking malarky. What would I need to get the show on the road streaming to next room 4k. Would the Ubiquiti Pro AP do it?

Network cable

^^ This, nothing beats wired.

I've lost count of the hours that I've lost trying to "stream" media that the underlying wireless (of it's time) "should" have been able to cope with, it's folly.

Honestly it's quicker just to get the carpet and floorboards up and run some network cable. (cheaper too).

Agreed, always run a cable if you can, if not then a HomePlug and wireless if both of those not possible

Found this on Reddit, the ac-lr has been updated to support 802.3af PoE as well as 24V passive POE

Guessing this is a hardware revision rather than just a software change

Not sure mate, only had my ac-lr a few weeks as well.

Maybe that's why the site I bought it from had them on for cheap to clear.

The picture has been floating around for a couple of months.

In the past 2 weeks I've deployed a small setup to a business through work, 3 UAP's, I'm sizing a temporary media event up today which will need 2 and I have a large project we're working on where I'm planning on deploying 17 Pico's with Unifi software on.

Has anybody seen/using https://spotipo.com/ ?? It seems ot be that final little filler that Unifi doesn't yet have the functionality for, I'm about to trial a few people on it.

I haven't seen that. Do you know what it does that the controller doesn't do with its guest portal and guest networks?

One annoying thing about captive portal is things like games xonsoles can't be used

It allows you to do data capture over a captive portal, high on the shopping list of most who give wifi away.

where is the best place to buy one of these?

Also the best bang for your buck access point?

Where is the best place to position if you can only get 1 for your home? Upstairs in the hallway?

the-evaluator · 16 Feb 2017 at 11:03

I don't think we can answer that as anyone else selling access points will be an OcUK competitor.

What happened to OCUK selling Ubiquiti kit?

You want a long cable and a bit of experimentation.

I ended up with mine on the lounge ceiling near the centre of the house. It gives me an excellent signal downstairs and a decent signal upstairs.

WJA96 · 19 Feb 2017 at 08:00

I bought 3 Ubiquiti U-AP-AC-LR access points, all singles with PoE injectors in the boxes.

None of them will power up. Not from the supplied PoE injectors or from my TP-Link TP-1600 52 PoE switch. The switch is capable of af and at flavours of PoE and it happily powers the Ubiquiti Cloud Switch so it should work, I think.

Can I really be so unlucky as to have got 3 duff access points or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
