*** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

The U6 Mesh look decent as well, the Mesh naming threw me for a while so didnt realise it was just a U6 Pro in a different form factor. U7 Pro doesnt seem worth it for one device that could use it but probably wouldnt in most rooms of the house. Plus U6 Pro seems a good overall unit taking into account power consumption as well.
 
Try Ubiquiti for sale (uk) on Facebook. Loads of decent sales on there. That's where WJA96 pointed me to. Someone selling the U6 LR just now for £90.
I think I'm being blind, how do you find the store? Searched a bunch of listings but can't find a seller by TJ Harvey.


It's a private group so you have to join, hope the link works.
Legend, joined. Thank you :)

Is there any benefits to ordering from the Ubiquiti UK store Vs other sellers?
**Elsewhere** seem to have good prices.

It's specifically the Pro Max 24 switch I'm looking at no where else seems to have it.

Seems my recollection wasn’t unfounded, and it’s worse than I expected.

It concerns me that you get one year from the date of shipping TO the distributor.

I don’t think I’d be taking the gamble on an expensive switch, I might make the exception for a cheap AP.

Good to know, so best to get the Dream Machine SE from them as well and anything that's no cheaper else where.

In the UK your ‘warranty’ is ALWAYS with the person or company who sold the goods to you. If you buy something as a PRIVATE customer (and you’re not pretending to be a business) then you are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and any warranty offered by a manufacturer is always IN ADDITION TO your rights under the CRA 2015. Because UBNT have chosen to set up a UK specific web store they are subject to the CRA 2015 and will have to abide by them.

Or you could save a few quid and buy something from a suspiciously cheap seller on Facebook.
 
Chris Buechler now confirmed as Chief Architect at Alta Labs. Interestingly the press release is heavy on M0n0wall and pfSense but no mention of his near 8-year term at UBNT. Maybe he’s not proud of the cluster-flop he created there?

 
How much architecting actually happens at these smaller companies? Aren't they vendor-supplied binaries being plugged into a management plane and not much else? Nobody is writing routing code at Ubiquiti are they?

I think you’re correct. Whatever their new UnifiOS was supposed to be it very quickly became apparent it was another Viyatta reskin of the old OS that ran on the USGs. It still (STILL!!!) doesn’t really do PPPoE properly and Multi-WAN only really works under quite specific circumstances because they fluffed it in the original code and never quite got it right thereafter.

And I don’t think Chris Buechler was ever much of a coder anyway if you read the articles about M0n0Wall and pfSense. Anyway. It’s not healthy to be this disappointed.
