D'oh, I assumed Sky Q box as in th TV boxes.

If you were local I could lend you one of my spare PoE injectors to rule that out.

Firmware updated, and I have tried a fresh setup of the AP. Changing the ethernet cables has made it more stable so far although it did run ok for a while before so will see.
Thanks for all the help guys

You should also use a fixed IP out side of the pool of the IP's handed out by your DHCP server or reserve the IP if the Q Box has that function.

For example on my Router i have the DHCP IP range as 192.168.1.11 to 192.168.1.254 the first 10 addresses i have reserved for things i want to have fixed IP such as my AP's, Router and Home Server.

Turn off Uplink monitoring, it's *really* rubbish. I've got some older ones without it and they seem to be doing ok

joffy · 22 Jun 2017 at 21:26

Cheers. I've disabled uplink and reserved the AP's IP.

Just joined the Ubiquity club. Needed to replace an ageing TP-Link AP which died today, so purchased a AC PRO to go with my Cisco 2602i. Controller installed and ready

If I'm using their cloud controller. Does that mean I cant use the app.

I've not managed to get it to connect thats all.

Anybody had a chance to play with the new Rocket Prism (and Gen2) models yet? I've just requested one along with some AC Gen2 clients for some dev and testing at work but I've read some good stuff on them (on the UBNT community).

Now had the AmpliFi system up and running for about 5 days. I've also got an AmpliFi HD mesh point installed, which has significantly improved 5GHz coverage. I must say overall that it is extremely stable/reliable, I've not had connection issues on any device so far.

How is the system without any mesh points? Asking for a friend who is moving relatively soon would a standard 3 bed house be ok if it was just placed central then upgrade to a few mesh points in future?
On 76mb but wont expect full bw all through house I doubt just a decent enough signal for sonos etc.

Sorry if this has already been confirmed in this thread - haven't got the time at this very moment to read through

Do the latest version of the UniFi products support direct POE without the need for injectors? So I can just install a standard POE switch?
Setting one up for my brother now, would like to take the POE switch option if possible.

The AP-AC-Pro uses 48V PoE, so you can use it with any standard PoE switch.

The AP-AC-Lite and AP-AC-LR use 24V PoE, so you can either use a Unifi PoE brick, a Unifi PoE Switch or Unifi PoE inline gigabit converter https://store.ubnt.com/products/instant-802-3af-indoor-gigabit-poe-converter

The Gen 2 AC Lite and AC LR both support 802.3af now.

It worked pretty well without the mesh point. With the router alone it covered my entire 5 bed house with 2.4GHz, my previous router a Synology RT2600AC couldn't do this.

There was a silent upgrade the new revision Lites and LR support standard POE.

It would have this blue sticker on the box if it is the new revision though.

So the fact it is still 24v PoE and not 48v, because it supports 802.3af I should be able to use any PoE switch with the latest generation?

Thanks for that.

Got a EdgeRouter X coming tomorrow to go with my Unifi Ac Lite.
Any gotchas or tips/tricks. Will be setting up with BT FTTC using open reach modem.

No they accept 48V now, any 802.3af PoE switch should power them.

You can do most of the configuration using the wizards. It's also worth using UPnP2 instead of the default UPnP service. There are guides on the Ubiquiti forum telling you how to configure it, it's just a couple of terminal commands.

They are able to use the Ubiquiti propriety Passive 24v and the standard 802.11 af 48v.
