I have been tinkering with the UC7-Pro and noticed that an SSID called 6ghz-control is being broadcasted.
I cannot see it in the Unifi Console but Im pretty sure it is coming from the AP.
Anyone know what is it and is there a way to switch it off?

"It allows us to seamlessly add and remove 6GHz WLANs without any downtime, there is no security risk to having this. No client can connect to it."
 
Does anyone know any smart type speakers (not Alexa) which Protect will work with? Currently I use Home Assistant and a bit of a hack to send a notification to an Alexa Show when someone presses the doorbell button, however it keeps breaking and we were already looking at replacing the Show with something less... Amazon.
 
That AI is a great tool for information.

Only just found out that the switch on the Dream Machine SE is only layer 2. So all my VLAN traffic is routed at the minute.
Guessing when I add a layer 3 switch that will deal with it then.

If you only have UDM-P SE and then switch a layer 3 one would be pointless, it's one extra hop.

If you are upgrading the switch don't pay extra just for a Layer 3 vs Layer 2. If that Layer 3 meets all the requirements and has the function then bonus!

Well only the Pro Max switches appear to do everything I would want/like them to do, they just happen to be Layer 3.

Got 2 pcs with 2.5gb, a NAS that I would like to have doing 5gb via link aggregation, though 2.5gb would be acceptable.

Just finished putting my CAT6 run from the study down to under the stairs.....lucked out and discovered the old phone line was still there, complete with hole in the wall, clips, hole in the gate door frame....pretty easy job to thread through. Did it properly and installed a 4-way socket under stairs and single socket in study. Glad I had a cable tester as a couple of the CAT6 cables weren't crimped right at first. Wifi is perfect across the house now, and the garden.

Job done, fully networked house, been meaning to get this done since we moved in 4 years ago, quite painless in the end. Ubiquiti kit has been a dream. Will add a Cloudkey+ and Camera next month probably.

Everyone tends to focus on the silver boxes and it’s the cables that make it happen. You’ll never regret running cables.

I spent my Saturday doing a cable run as well, under the stairs through the floor to the crawl space, through the double brick wall to the garage then around the garage to my PC.

Thinking about it in the future when done cameras go up I might use one of those flex Poe++ switches to turn that single run into the pc and two cameras save running any more cables that way.
 
Ever since getting the U6 Pro the wife's Pixel 6a doesn't like connecting to the WiFi, it's the only device that has the issue.

Lots on the internet but no real solution or cause that I can see.

That’s basically the first thing that pops up - are your channels on AUTO or manually defined?

What’s your DTIM set to? Lots of phones only like DTIM set to 3 and AUTO used to make it 1 but I’m sure they fixed that some time ago.

Channels are on auto yes.
Don't know what DTIM is.

Found it, DTIM is Auto which means 1 for 2.4 and 3 for 5ghz

I have also set 5ghz to channel 149 see if that helps.

Anyone here using 5g broadband as their primary internet connection?
I am seeing unifi lose its connection whenever the Three router/modem device gets a new IP address. I need to reboot the Ultra so that it can pick the new ip address coming from Three.

Three 5g NR5103EV2 (ip passthrough mode) -> UCG Ultra

From what I can understand IP pass through mode in the NR5103EV2 is the same as bridgemode and should make everything seamless but for somereason unifi is holding on to the old WAN ip address.

Is there a way to make the Ultra refresh the IP without a restart?
