How do I re adopt my USG and two AP's without factory resting them. I have uninstalled the controller software on my PC and now I can;t access them.
 
If you reinstall the controller and log in using your credentials the equipment will talk to the controller.

SSH into the kit using what was your original log in to the controller (unless you changed it) then do the following

Code:
mca-cli
set-inform http://IP.OF.YOUR.CONTROLLER:8080/inform

It should now show in your new controller but you're not done, click the adopt button and then go back to your SSH session and do the following (again)

Code:
mca-cli
set-inform http://IP.OF.YOUR.CONTROLLER:8080/inform

Now the adoption will "complete" and the SSH session will close itself upon successful adoption.
 
Yep. It was an absolute doddle, took about 10 minutes from start to finish.

I bought the cheapest of the cheap SSL certs from ssls.com. I have a guide somewhere at home that I cna dig out next week if you need it.
 
Current setup I have is BT ADSL with a Homehub, then connected to a 24port switch and also have a couple of Ubiquiti AP's for wireless along with the Homehub's wireless (all on separate channels). I have a USG arriving later today. What do i need to do to get it set up correctly?

I've just started searching and it seems like I'll need to change some settings on the Homehub and USG in order to the USG to access the internet so it looks in the right place. I'll also be turning off the wireless in the Homehub as I dont think it's needed, my Ubiquiti AP's should cover the whole house well enough. Are they any recommended guides/tips for setting this up with a BT homehub or must-do's before i start? I've already got on my todo list to make a note of all of the port forwarding rules i've set up and static assigned IP's for several devices on the Homehub to copy across to the USG.

Thanks.

Best case scenario would be to get a modem and then use pppoe on the USG.

As you are the USG should get internet from DHCP, just DMZ the IP the USG takes so it has "full fat" internet access and isn't NAT'd. Double NAT isn't a problem as such but some services like gaming and VOIP can be quite difficult to fault find if you have 2 NAT tables to work through.
 
You could save yourself some hassle and get a BT Openreach modem for about £20 and then just put the BT login details into the USG and it should all work without any double NAT issues
 
Ok cheers, i'll look into that. So the setup in that case is modem->USG->router, so the modem simply replaces the Homehub in the chain? So with a new modem, there is obviously no IP setup for the incoming internet, and you use the PPPoe and login details from BT? Any idea if you can pick one up from a high st store anywhere?
 
Ah, so DMZ is simply setting the IP of the USG in the Homehub settings so that no rules/restrictions are placed on it, so that from the point of view of the USG, the Homehub is invisible? That shouldnt be too hard!
 
If you set up the BT Homehub correctly with the DMZ etc, what is the benefit though of going with just a modem instead of the Homehub, is it somehow quicker?
