*** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

I don’t see why they would drop 24v stuff. Maybe in time for UniFi only but the rest of the market (wisp stuff) leans on the 24v side more. Especially integrating with solar and wind powered pops.

They are. The current range of Unifi switches will keep 24v PoE but future switches won't have it. Have a read of https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi...rt-on-UniFi-Switch-Product-Line-8/m-p/2074595

We will continue to provide hardware support for 24V Passive Power over Ethernet on all UniFi Switch models that previously featured 24V passive, including:

- US-8-150W
- US-16-150W
- US-24-250W
- US-24-500W
- US-48-500W
- US-48-750W

Any future switch models we will produce will not feature hardware support 24V Passive PoE.

The beta version of the US-24-250W they sent me as a freebie last month doesn't have 24v as an option.

So the exact model number of the freebie beta switch they gave me is 'UniFi Switch 24 AT-250W' and it's running the latest beta firmware (3.9.4.7552). On the port config the only options I have for PoE are PoE+ or off. No 24v option.

US-L2-24-POE is the Beta 24 port Unifi switch with dual PSUs. It's a Level 2 switch, which is what makes it "Beta" but it has dual PSUs as well.

Beta firmware is obviously just that. UBNT do some odd things in terms of what they do and don't turn on. Almost every UBNT switch I have has a USB port on it. Loking inside the case it appears to be connected but it can't be used for anything by the end-user. When you ask UBNT what those USB ports are for they answer "Future use".

So who knows what capabilities the units have that we can't make use of.
 
The wireless built into my MOBO (GA-X99-Designare EX) seems to be pretty rubbish, even though the blurb says:
  1. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, supporting 2.4/5 GHz Dual-Band
  2. Bluetooth 4.2, 4.1, BLE, 4.0, 3.0, 2.1+EDR
  3. Support for 11ac wireless standard and up to 867 Mbps data rate*
    * Actual data rate may vary depending on environment and equipment.

Anybody recommend a good PCI-E USB (3.0) NIC to use with UniFi AP-AC-Pro ?

For those running bleeding edge 5.7.x controller is now out and a new UAP firmware.

One foul hit on my mouse and I installed 5.6.3 over my 5.6.20 install (instead of 5.7.3) and now it's goosed :D

Think I'll just wipe my Pi this evening and set it back up again from the backup.
 
Grab a backup from the Pi (on my VM they're in /var/lib/unifi/backup) and see if you can install 5.7.3 then push the backup back in. I had to do that a while ago and it worked OK for me at the time.

Now though as I'm using a VM I would just make a snapshot before upgrading Unifi then restore if necessary.
 
I've tried all sorts (albeit on my phone), Unifi doesn't even launch. My fault, the Pi needs a clean up anyway.
 
Stupid question time, please bear with me...

I was initially going to set up a Dell Poweredge T20 server, but unfortunately that isn't going to be happening now.

I bought a Netgear GS108E 8 port switch and a Ubiquiti UAP AC Lite to use with the server, and I'm now wanting to put them to use, as my Now TV router is a bit rubbish for Wi-Fi (it's a rebadged Sky SR102 from what I can see).

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the easiest way to replace the Now TV Wi-Fi with the Ubiquiti Wi-Fi please?

I'm assuming that I'd have my unlocked BT Openreach modem connected first to resolve the fibre broadband, then hardwire that into the Netgear switch, and then hardwire the Ubiquiti into one of the ports on the switch, is that about right? Thank you. :)
 
What's going to do the routing? At present the SR102 is doing that and also providing wifi. The AC-Lite can do the wifi bit but it isn't a router. Ubiquiti do a router, it's called a USG. I've been using one for some time and it does the job nicely.

If you had a USG then the connections would be:

Phone line -> Openreach modem -> WAN port on USG.
LAN port on USG -> Netgear switch -> AC-Lite.

Could I just disable the Wi-Fi on the SR102 and use it in place of the USG or is it not that simple?
 
Re-installed my Unifi server today onto a new ESXi host. Quite happily installed 5.5X "stable" as UBNT seem to be like everyone with updates, an update comes out and breaks things then it takes several small updates to get back where you were.
