That's brilliant, thank you.

I have a standard Openreach modem, no commandline configuration required. I just selected pppoe as the connection type in the USG and gave it my login details.

Will the US-8-60W power a UAP Pro, controller and USG? What about if I added more kit later? Or should I get the 150W one?

Which is fine for an internet connection, but this is to be able to log onto the modem to look at stats.

 

[bledd]

Aye, I know that, was just adding that in case anyone else was scared off by the non GUI

 

[ChrisD.]

Well, I've gone for the 150W switch as well as a USG. I think it has enough ports to connect all of my items as my Cisco switch is far less used than I thought:

gi10     1G-Combo-C   Full    1000  Enabled  Off  Up          Disabled On

The other switch is an 8 port TP link with PoE which has a couple of ports free.

daft question

are any of the Unifi US PoE switches completely silent?

 

[the-evaluator]

The US-8-150W is (I have 3 of them) and I would be amazed if the US-8-60W wasn't too.

Apparently the fan in the US-16-150W isn't always on but if can spin up when required so I wouldn't call it silent.

Thanks mate

The 8-150’s are silent but they do get a bit toasty!

Agreed, my 8-150W is a bit toasty warm and it is only powering a cloudkey and UAP-PRO over POE! Currently only 7watts going out over the POE.

Try turning off the poe on the unused ports. It saves a bit so I’ve heard.

 

[lmfy2k]

I’d of hit them upgrade buttons a looong time ago

Yeah, I really want to upgrade back to 3.9.3

I turned off the POE on 5 ports, I will see if that drops the temperature at all.

 

[bledd]

Fitted my US-8-60W and 2 port LACP'd it to my US-24.

USG updated to 4.4.14 and upgrading the 300+ APs in work overnight

I will upgrade the USG later. 300+ UAP's to upgrade - you lucky duck

 

[bledd]

Took a while to install them all

 

[lmfy2k]

How do you split the 5ghz channels between them all? And power settings, Or are they on auto ?

 

[bledd]

They are all far enough apart to stay on full power. A large number of them are the 2.4ghz only, UAP model.

 

[ChrisD.]

USG and switch arriving today, bonus as the original estimate was Monday. Might have a play later on.
