*** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

i recently purchased 2 inwall u6 AP's, was wondering if anyone has any experience with them.
i have only set 1 up for now and it runs REALLY hot, its actually a bit concerning. when i remove the AP the metal back plate is almost too hot to handle, have to let it cool down. the wall behind is then also hot.

is this normal or should i be concerned?

i should add, i tried both AP in the same spot, they both run hot

From what I've seen online a lot of people have said the same thing but people who have them don't seem too worried after the initial surprise. Ubiquiti did add a internal fan to the U7 series AP's, I think they did to the wall version as well as it has what looks like a vent on the side.

thanks for your input, i did come across the same kind of articles online, no horror stories.

yeah i was considering the u7 for future proofing, but opted for the u6.
i see the vents on the u7 you mention. i might just send these back and get the u7's

but, yeah i think initial change from other equipment took me by surprise. but also the poe aspect, i dont want to cause any damage to the cables in wall.

I've seen complaints on Reddit the U7 runs red hot also and the fan never kicks in.

Network 8.5.6 has dropped.

Important Notes​

UniFi Network Application 8.5.6 adds support for support for NetFlow and Packet Capture on Gateways, and an improved Dashboard user experience including customizable widgets.

Improved Dashboard

Improved the Dashboard experience to provide immediate insight into critical issues, as well as allowing widgets and time ranges to be customized.

  • Customize the Dashboard and widgets to focus on the information that is important for you.
  • Widgets include Active Channels, AP Radio Overview and Deployment Density and Most Active APs, Clients and Apps.
More widgets will be added in future releases.
NetFlow

Allows capturing and exporting traffic information to a collector.

  • Versions 10, 9 and 5 are supported.
  • Customize the collector address, port and rates.
  • Requires a UniFi (Cloud) Gateway firmware version 4.1 or newer.
NetFlow is not supported on the UniFi Express and UXG-Lite models.
SIEM Activity Logging

Export all or specific System Logs shown on the Network Application to SIEM Servers (remote Syslog) such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, and others.
Packet Capture

Capture packets on Gateways and directly download the capture file.

  • Capture on specific networks and for a specified duration.
  • Requires a UniFi (Cloud) Gateway firmware version 4.1 or newer.
Packet Capture is not supported on the UniFi Express and UXG-Lite models.

Improvements​

  • Added support for IPsec and OpenVPN Site-to-Site VPNs to Policy Based Routing.
  • IPsec requires UniFi (Cloud) Gateway firmware version 4.1 or newer.
  • Added SNMP location and contact in the Gateway side panels.
  • Added support for configuring multiple CA certificates for RADIUS TLS Profiles.
  • Added System Logs for Ports that are dropping large amounts of traffic.
  • Added support for WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise mode in the WiFi Settings.
  • Added Egress Rate limit option to UniFi (Cloud) Gateways.
  • Added support for adjusting WAN DNS verification (internet reachability monitor) in the Gateway side panel.
  • Added Integrations section in System Settings.
  • Added a Stats section for AP Analyzer.
  • Review different performance metrics over time - CPU, Memory, Channel Utilization, TX Retries, and more.
  • Added the ability to expand the 2.4GHz channel list.
  • Added ability to view the RADIUS Secret.
  • Added AP status in Broadcasting APs list in the WiFi settings.
  • Added recommendation to disable Ping Conflict Detection for large networks.
  • Added neighbors table to the OSPF section.
  • Requires UniFi (Cloud) Gateway firmware version 4.0 or newer.
  • Improved the Dashboard user experience.
  • Improved the AP Analyzer Stats section.
  • Improved validation for SNMP settings.
  • Allow APs that are adopted to an Express to have more than 3 SSIDs.
  • Allow configuring the NAS ID field when RADIUS MAC is enabled in the WiFi settings.
  • Improved Site Magic VPN validation.
  • Improved remote connections for Network Servers.
  • Improved PassPoint settings user experience.
  • Improved Channel List settings to prevent blocking all channels in each WiFi band.
  • Moved device update settings to Advanced Settings when Control Plane integration is available.
  • Renamed the "Inspection" section to "Flows".
  • Renamed NeXT AI to Critical in System Logs.
  • Updated the left navigation bar.

Bugfixes​

  • Fixed an issue where some channels were not properly marked as DFS.
  • Fixed an issue where VLAN Magic was not available on EFGs.
  • Fixed an issue where Masquerade/SNAT/DNAT rules weren't working on EFG, Express, UXG-Lite, and UXG-Pro Gateways.
  • Fixed an issue where Auto-scale wasn't accounting for conflicts with WAN interfaces.
  • Fixed an issue where the Port Forwarding interface value might not be displayed in rare cases.
  • Fixed an issue where the Client settings may not open in rare cases.
  • Fixed false System Logs regarding duplicated leases for 0.0.0.0.
  • Fixed unexpected provisions for Express devices in rare cases.
  • Fixed an issue where the Topology page could lose the configured Display Options.
 
Anyone with Protect Lights, is it possible to trigger them with just a line crossing for instance. I want one to come on only when someone/something goes up the driveway.
 
Wonder what will get announced at the up coming conference? I see some black cameras are appearing, so waiting to see what appears in the UK store.

Hi chaps,

Udm pro has been faultless so far. The NVR feature seems ok too - altho it really needs event detection for onvif to really turn me on.

I've got 2 aps (u6+) and I'm finding they offer far slower speed than my old Deco X55 unit. I'm talking max speed of ~120 vs full 500. I don't know if that's because of AP orientation or that's just what WiFi6 on the u6+ can give. It's bullet proof latency and responsiveness-wise so I'm not massively concerned but interested as what may be the cause.

Also if anyone has a spare ap to sell I need one more in the garden room (y).

Disable nightly channel optimisation and look at what channels are in use.
 
Anyone recommendations between U7 Pro vs Pro Max vs Wall? I’ve already got one U7 Pro upstairs, but need another to cover the ground floor area better.

I’ve read the Wall is slightly more directional versus Pro’s more omnidirectional coverage (supposedly). Also not sure if 4x4 MIMO with Pro Max is worth it over Pro for £80 more?
