r/UNIFI

Lighting hit somewhere nearby and my G4 Doorbell went offline. I did some troubleshooting and my USW-Flex that powers the doorbell was dead. I replaced that. Still nothing. I replaced the POE to USB-C adapter and the doorbell now powers up, but will not connect. Other items on the new USW-Flex work (an access point). I was still troubleshooting and was within Bluetooth range of the doorbell and my phone found the doorbell and asked to connect the Doorbell via wifi. So I entered the wifi password and the camera is online.

I haven't replaced the USB cable yet, I'll do that tonight. Is the doorbell damaged? How do I get to connect via USB again?

I recently bought a Starlink Standard 4 kit.

I bought a Unifi U7 Pro Gateway because I heard it works much better than the stock Starlink Mini 4 router that comes with the kit.

I thought it would be easy. Just disconnect the Starlink Mini 4 router and connect the cable to the Unifi U7 Pro Gateway. This did not work. No signs of power from the gateway at all.

I'm guessing there is some other Unifi equipment that I need to get to make this work.

I am completely new to all of this. Any help would be awesome.

I'm planning for a transition over to Unifi. Why would someone pick the U7 Pro over the U7 Pro XG with only a $10 price difference? Maybe you don't need the 10G uplink today, but seems worth it to have it in case. (EG: I'm on 2G fiber now, but have options for more.) What else should I be considering? Thanks!

Good day everyone, I am very new to this environment. So I will be the first to say that the probability May lie with my inexperience with the UniFi environment. I had my printer in an IoT environment but after watching a couple of videos it look like it could have been in a vulnerable state. So I followed one video to create a new set of vlans. I wanted to make sure that my cameras were on their own VLAN, my iot devices were on their own VLAN. I have two iot Wi-Fi connections, 2.4 GHz and the other is a combination of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I saw some suggestions about turning on IGMP snooping and multicast. I have a udm pro Max, any assistance will be welcomed thanks in advance.

I'm starting to like using Unifi for adblocking. I'm using the Cloudflare secure for upstream and things are running really smooth. I've used pihole but after a few months, I start to have issues then I start over. With unifi, things seem to run smoother, and flows show you everything. You just don't have the nice graphs. Plus my policy-based routing works great. Any chance Unifi will add charts / graphs for dns flows in the future? Also ability to add block list?

I recently updated to a EA version of Network (10.6.94). One of my U7 Pro Outdoor APs dropped off of the network. I did some diagnosing and ended up rolling back the update. The AP showed up again.

Then, in the past day, my switches updated to 7.5.10. My AP disappeared once again. This time switching ports and dropping / readopting didn’t help. The only thing that I was able to do to get it to connect is to switch the port to turn off auto speed negotiation and set it to 1g. If I set it back to 2.5 or auto, the AP disappears. 1G - it shows back up.

It has been working just fine for about a year now, so I can’t imagine the cable has suddenly gone bad. I also don’t really want to go out to take down the AP to try shorter cables.

Does anyone have any idea what I can try to get it back to 2.5? I have not yet opened a support ticket, as I figured I’d check here to see if anyone has seen similar behavior.

For reference, my other U7 Pro Outdoor APs work just fine. They are all connected to the same XG 10 PoE.

My current two pack of Asus ET12s are really starting to piss me off. Stability is of utmost importance for my wife's work (from home) and these things keep glitching out her separate SSID for work devices. I broke it all down on Sunday and did factory resets and fresh setups. If it craps itself again this weekend I want to buy new hardware. Was thinking...

- Dream Router 7

- U7Pro XG

- Flex Mini 2.5

- POE++ adaptor

Figuring the switch can run off the POE from the router. The U7 would need the adaptor.

Would I need anything more to replace the ET12s and a dumb switch?

The ET12s have been beasts and the range is stupid. Not really concerned if i have to give up some range as they are a bit overkill in my house. Would losing the 4x4 mu-mimo of the ET12s be a big deal or a good swap for the stability I am told I would get from Unifi hardware?

Hey everyone,

I'm renovating my 50m² apartment and rebuilding my UniFi setup.

Current plan:

- NAS-2
- APs (home + office)
- Camera for a large terrace
- Small switch behind the TV for wired devices
- main switch
- 5g backup

I'd prefer to avoid PoE injectors, so I'm looking for recommendations on:
Main PoE switch and Gateway. Anything else you'd add? ENVR Instant? Some sensor's?

Thanks!

Seeking expert advice for my new Unifi home network setup!

I've got:

- Unifi 5G Max Outdoor Modem

- Cloud Gateway Ultra

- 4 Unifi U6 WiFi Mesh devices

- UniFi Switch Ultra (60W). ^(For later expansion)

My desktop will be wired directly to the UCG.

I'm wondering if I should hardwire (CAT6A S/FTP) each U6 device or use them wirelessly. If wired, can they still function as a mesh network? First-timer here, so all insights are welcome!

How would you do it?

I’ve been aware off them for awhile through watching Marzbar and just recently returned home from uni but my WiFi connection in the room has always been terrible it’s the furthest away from the house and the TP links just don’t work, therefore was wondering if an access point would make this easier in anyway

I want to use it as a combination. To how much extent can we use ugreen switch. Is there any limitations?
I must go to switch to add VLAN id and make it same as the gateway ones ?
Which ip will the switch get and how will it be shown in Unifi?

I'm unclear on why one might use wireless meshing if all APs are hardwired unifi APs. Is this something that I should disable or does enabling it somehow speed up handoffs?

Thank you,
Keith

So, I’m upgrading my backbone to 10GB. However, because I’m in the beginnings of a substantial remodel, I’m using the existing category cable. Some Cat6, some Cat5e (riser cable running buried. Don’t judge, I didn’t do it).
I’ll replace the cable with fiber but here’s the surprise: I’m getting 10gb over Cat6 (100 feet) using the SFP+ to RJ45 adapters. … the really big surprise: I’m getting 10gb over Cat5e also at very close to 100 feet… buried, in the earth! Not what I expected. Not at all what I expected.
UDM Pro, USW Aggregation, USW Pro PoE, USW Pro Max 16 PoE, USW Enterprise 8 PoE.

After a couple days of research on security systems, decided to go with unifi.

Went through the website and selected the following products.
What do you guys think?

Hi looking for some help with my Sonos and new UNIfi set up

I am running a trusted vlan for my personal devices and an IoT vlan for all smart devices.

I run a Sonos speakers in multiple rooms connected via wifi to the IoT vlan.

Each Sonos speaker has a fixed ip. I am using the zone based firewall rules allowing traffic from trusted to IoT zone with return traffic as well as IoT zone Sonos fixed ips for my Sonos speakers traffic to trusted zone.

I also have mdns set up for discovery but I still can not get my Sonos app to work. When my iPhone is connected to my trusted wifi it can not see the Sonos speakers. But if I my iPhone to the IoT wifi then the app works.

Any suggestions

Hello all,

I installed NextDNS CLI via SSH on my Unifi Express 7 and set my NextDNS ID in the configuration. Now I want to exclude some Clients from filtering, but in NextDNS there is no option.

Do you hav any idea how I can use NextDNS just for selected Clients?

Thank you!
