Has any of ever had any weird issues with IPV6 and Ubiquiti switches?

For the past couple of years, I’ve had a weird issue which appears very randomly (every few months or so) where my 2 US-8-60W switches stop communicating. It looks like the connection between them is being dropped/blocked.

I tried a number of thing a such as changing the ports used, changing the cable but the issue persisted. I then disabled IPv6 on my router and on my main PC which is on the downstream switch. Since I’ve done this, it’s been rock solid and I’ve never had an issue!

Can't say that I have. I've been running IPv6 at home for about 5 years on a full UniFi network and haven't had any issues like that.
 
My UBB arrived today from BBB so all set up just plug n play..
or not.
Visually they are set up about right but I'm getting "no Link" in the cloud controller.
I'm getting some sort of connection as I can now access the internet from site #2. (I'm also getting an error when trying the run alignment tool)

Which brings me to my new issue and one I should have realised. Both sites are essentially on the same network then? Which means each site can control each others Sonos system.
Whats the best way to separate these? And then how easy is it for a 3 year old to do

I expect so as that's the same price :) mmm food for thought, but tbh I'm awash with APs. Got a U6-IW I had a plan for, but that's now just sat in a box etc. I do like the FlexHD / U6-Mesh units.
 
My USW-Enterprise-48-PoE has just arrived, so that will be replacing USW-Enterprise-24-PoE / 2x USW-Enterprise-8-PoE and a USW-Flex-Mini.

So that's next weekend's task and run about 10 new cables in :eek:

Very nice :) what's the power draw on ones of those I wonder

I currently have it on the power meter with one ethernet connection, which is non-PoE and drawing 46w.

I know the USW-Enterprise-8-PoE draw 22w idling, I can check on the 24-PoE once I remove it from the rack.

Edit:

USW-Enterprise-24-PoE uses 20w on idle with a single non-PoE connection on it.

Looks like the USW-Enterprise-48-PoE doesn't support 10Mb connections, so it's 100Mb or better. Looks like its time for an APC PDU :D
 
While on the subject of power use, the U6-Mesh uses around ~6w, the U6-Pro uses about ~6w but the U6-Enterprise uses about ~12w.
 

Former Ubiquiti employee Nickolas Sharp has admitted in court to abusing company-provided credentials to steal data and then attempting to extort the company, the Department of Justice announced.

Sharp, 37, of Portland, Oregon, worked at the New York City-based IoT device maker between August 2018 and April 2021, as a senior developer who had access credentials for Ubiquiti’s AWS and GitHub servers.

In December 2020, he abused his administrative credentials to download confidential data using the Surfshark VPN to hide his IP address. However, during an outage at his home, the IP address became unmasked, court documents reveal.

Several LOL moments in this story, more in the link.

It has twice as many radios inside, and the 6GHz radio is putting out a lot of power to overcome the short wavelength/high frequency challenge.
