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?

What mode is the Ultra running on the WAN interface? DHCP, Fixed or PPPoE?

So that says take them off AUTO. Easy thing to check.

Did some now research seems it might be specifically the channel width for 5ghz.
Doesn't seem to like 80 or higher.
Also seems to be just the U6 range of APs maybe chipset related.

I’ve never seen anything regarding chipset issues on the U6-Pro. U6-LR there are plenty of negative stories including one on here from someone who claimed it took out all their WiFi until they powered all their computers on and off but nothing on the U6-Pro.

More likely the issue lies with the phone chipset rather than the access point.

Yet on the Unifi threads I found the same phone also connected fine to other unifi APs, specifically a U7Pro and an AC Pro.

Going to try a mix of reducing the 5ghz width to 40 and maybe keeping it on my IOT VLAN which is 2.4ghz only.

And what does it prove if the U6-Pro has no issue connecting to any other device than a Google Pixel 6 series? If it works with everything else why is the access point chipset the issue and not the Phone? Your argument doesn’t really stack up. It just is much more likely it’s the phone rather than the access point. Does it work with a U6-LR (totally different chipset in the access point)?

It's not my argument like I said it's all based on a thread on unifi community.
I don't have any other access points to try that.
Worked fine with the BT hub.

There is also a good bit of chatter of the U6 LR failing after a good few months. Usually rebooting every so often which happens quicker over a period then refuses to work correct a short time after.

I agree though, Sounds like a Pixel 6 issue perhaps.
 
Another solid update to the UniFi Network Application


Its got a huge list of updates but a stand-out item, as I know it has been mentioned here before

OSPF Dynamic Routing Protocol

Enable OSPF on Virtual Networks to form neighbor connections with other gateways and exchange routes.

  • Enable OSPF on one or more Virtual Networks.
  • Customize OSPF area types, timers, cost, passive interfaces and authentication settings.
  • Control advertisement of connected and static (Route-Based IPsec VPN) routes with redistribution.
  • Forming OSPF neighbor connections over Route-Based IPsec VPNs is scheduled for an upcoming release.
  • See the OSPF Help Center article for more information.
Addition of the BGP Dynamic Routing Protocol is scheduled for an upcoming release.

I don’t know exactly how many U6-LRs I’ve sold now but it’s quite a few and we’ve yet to have any issues or warranty claims with them. I may just have jinxed that but I see some of the ways people are (ab)using ceiling mounted access points by hiding them in drawers, leaving them on tables etc, and I can understand why they don’t work the way they should.

UniFi gateway products moving forward further. Maybe time to re look at UDM SE over my pfsense/opensense setup.

Untangle are closing their Home user subscriptions and not looked at Sophos XG V20, but have used v18-19.

Still not opened the UniFi Express yet

The only minor gripe I still have it not being able to set a MTU of 1500 on a fibre line, as you can still do that with OPN/pfsense.
 
On Virgin 500/50 still atm as no alt nets in my area yet. Toob are doing work though.

Interesting re MTU.

At end of the year if Toob ready will move off Virgin and O2. Moved from Vodafone after 25 years to O2 last year and will move as soon as contract up.

4G WAN backup with Smarty on pfsense too for a handful of IOT devices (Tado mainly). Can you do WAN failover for particular IP addresses / rules like in pfsense?

I have a CK+ running network, protect and talk.

I have 3 VPNs setup
S2S to an pfsense
Wireguard
Openvpn with AD auth via LDAPs

What's the benefits of that?

In a nutshell, it's more bandwidth as its more data in a single packet.

A normal PPPoE connection has an MTU up to 1492 but can change depending on what has been set. However, an MTU of 1500 requires the use of a jumbo frame to be set on the interface as example you would run an MTU of 1508 or 1512 on the physical interface and then run an MTU of 1500 on the PPPoE
