Hi All.
What would you do ?
My house, has two U6 Pros downstairs, at either end of the house.
In the loft we have an old UC AC Pro, and an UC LR, same sort of thing, at opposite ends of the house, but in the loft space.
4 AP's in total
The house has a long driveway, and a long garden, and has wifi IoT products at either end ( gates/garden lighting etc ) , so the range is useful - and these devices communicate well through the AC Pro and AC LR
Everything works fine, but when devices, in the house, like laptops/phones etc find the old LR and Ac Pro, which they like to, the performance is poor.
I could turn down the power on the AC Pro and AC LR, but then they dont have the reach to get to the wifi gates on the front drive, or the garden lighting.
So its a bit of a catch 22 situation.
I could replace the AC Pro and AC Lr, but with what ? U6 Pro's ? U7 Pro's ? U6 LR's ?
Happy to swap AP's over between downstairs/loft etc, if needed.

Does everyone link their Unifi installs to a unifi online account or leave them standalone?
I am trying to setup notifications on a UDM Pro, have the email settings setup and the test email works and is received as expected, then under notifications in Network app enabled emails but nothing is received, looking online it mentions enabling push / email notifications per user but locally I dont see an option for this, maybe something thats only available via an online account?

Mine is online.
Just confirmed with UI support that UDM Pro backups cannot be scheduled without linking to an online account, as they are then automatically uploaded.
Why do they do rubbish like this, the network app has scheduling locally, why is it not consistent, an option to then provide an SFTP or SMB drop location for the backups would be nice, seems you need to link to an online account then your setup is backed up and sent to unifi.

Good thinking, thank you
Have mine online, great if im at work and the wife has any issues.
Just ordered the USW-Aggregation (with free shipping!). I have my NAS, and 5x ESXi hosts connected to a Mikrotik 25 GbE switch and the fan noise whilst relatively quiet is annoying when it's idle, has that horrible whine to it. Most of the time it's just a single host (which has Plex on, plus a DC) and the NAS running 24/7, and I don't need 25 GbE for that (tbh I don't need it for the lab, but it's nice to have). I'll wire that host and the NAS to the Aggregation which is silent, which mean I can turn the Mikrotik off when the lab is off.

This online stuff kinda weirds me out. Does it have two or three factor authentication?
My Intel E810 NIC arrived today, so once all the SFPs arrive tomorrow, my desktop will be upgraded to 25Gb I forget how fussy some vendors are with SFPs. I also have a handful of ConnectX-4 cards, which I will add to the Syno temporarily until I can build out a white box.
It will be interesting to see how the AGG-Pro runs, as I need to get VCF up and running not that I need the speed for that.

Yes, 2 Factor push notification via one of of the apps, which also works as 2FA when logging in locally

The only small gotta with them is they don't like too many of the SFP+ to RJ45 adaptors due to the power budget.
Yeah it seems strange to have some basic functionality reliant on hooking up to their own cloud, like backups and from what I can tell notifications too, even though you can configure your own mail relay etc.
Not had much time to look into notifications in more detail, backup requiring online was confirmed by UI in a support chat.
It's on metal hosts.
I agree and the problem is not just authentication. For example Ubiquiti had a short time a while back when people logged in and were connected to the wrong account so they saw other people's networks and cameras.
Edit for extra info: Confirmation from Ubiquiti : https://community.ui.com/questions/...guration/fe8d4479-e187-4471-bf95-b2799183ceb7 I've seen mixed account ID/session ID type errors many times in my career with different products, its just another bug albeit rarer than certain server side requests missing authentication checks but that's another story!
