r/Ubiquiti

Well, I was surprised to get it this quick. I purchased the esim pack with it, so I thought setup would be easy. It adopted right away, but didn't activate the esim. There is also no option in the app to but and esim pack like they show in the video. I had to chat with support, and had to join the beta Unifi app to get to version 10.38.1. It activated right away after that.

Hi all, i seem to be getting random drop outs on one of my USW-Flex.

See attached photos, i have the poe adapter (grey cable) going into port one on switch, port 2 on switch is UDB pro bridge bringing the internet over to this section, port 3 is an AP and port 4 is a camera.

As you can see the port 3 AP is not green blinking in sync with the other ports and no green blinking under the blue power light on flex?

My other Flexes setup in house all blink in sync and under the blue power light on flex theres also a green blinking light in sync with all ports?

Whats going on you think?

I have several motion detectors and window sensors around my house that all feed into a closet with an outdated alarm system. Additionally, there are 3 alarm control panels near entryways.

Would it be possible to replace the alarm system in the close with the Ubiquiti Alarm Kit? What other items would I need to purchase?

Currently my main goal is to turn off the Heat/AC in a zone when a window is opened, but if I can get more out of it, that would be nice.

Finally completed our new house build in the country. We actual had Fiber to the forest! 2gb up/down (actually closer to 2.3gb) through Rapid-Fiber.

This is all my budget would allow. Ran so many CAT6a cables around the house including to washing machines, fridges, stove and bunch of extras around the house. 7 G6 Cameras at every corner of the house and 1 G6 180 at the garage to cover a whole side (it's good for the money but more gimmicky than anything). Probably swapping to a G6 Pro in the future. Two U7 Pro XGS hooked up to 10gb ports each.

CGNAT is killer but found workaround with their IPv6 setup. IPv6 open but IPv4 is CGNat'd. Using Tunneling through Cloudflare and the software running on a docker on the Synology NAS.

Over a year in the works, I just wrapped up adding full time-series network monitoring to Network Optimizer. Here are the main features:

• Ping / RTT measurement across multiple different kinds of targets at different cadences
• Real-time 3D view of both LAN and WAN traffic across all devices on your UniFi Network
• CPU / mem / temperature (gateway only so far) stats collected and plotted
• Auto-discovery of your ISP's access and aggregation infrastructure, and their upstream transit network(s) for suitable monitoring targets
• Built in monitoring targets for common CDN/internet service providers
• SFP/ONT optical power monitoring with GPON vs XGS-PON auto-detection (covers most common SFP stick modules from FiberMall, Zyxel, Nokia, Leox, Calix, ODI, SourcePhotonics, etc.)

Some caveats:

• Wi-Fi device transfer rates are laggy since we can't really pull per-wireless-device data w/ SNMP, it relies on UniFi Network endpoints that really only refresh data every 30 sec
• Up to 250 MB per day on big home networks required in InfluxDB storage, I wouldn't run the InfluxDB server on a R-Pi or anything embedded
• Don't leave up the 3D live view on your phone, it will drain your battery pretty well
• Does generate some extra network traffic about 500 Kbps with 10 UniFi Network devices and 25 ping targets, and a portion of that over WAN
• I still have a bunch of work left to do to bring the diagnostic capabilities of all of this data full circle, but you can easily build a Grafana dashboard to dive into the InfluxDB data however you'd like
• Doesn't use UnPoller, this is based on my own .net based SNMP polling library I've been working on and have had in production for 13 months now over several iterations
• I've tested the impact of the SNMP polling for over a year, and my network hasn't skipped a beat now that I have it fully optimized. The setup process walks you through enabling SNMP and encourages you to use SNMP v1/2c and NOT SNMP v3. I highly advise against using SNMP v3 (crypto overhead on both ends for every polling event) and instead locking down your management VLAN and using an obfuscated community string. The setup wizard walks you through these things and SNMP of course is just read-only stats of your network fabric devices, so no worries.
• InfluxDB chosen for my own preference, simplicity, flexibility, and its nice query language. Prometheus support could be added, but InfluxDB is pretty lightweight if you want to run both.

Make sure to take in all of the other Network Optimizer features while you're in there... there's a lot.

Is it normal for an access point like this one to be surprisingly hot to the touch? It carries much of my permanent household traffic (Ring cameras, Enphase gateway, etc). I have unplugged it and am letting it cool down, but I am concerned there is something wrong.

I just bought a house with 8 of these cameras around the perimeter plus a Hikvision doorbell cam. Looks like the previous owner left behind some kind of DVR/controller. It has 8 ethernet ports which I assume provide PoE to the cams and record the video. I'm not familiar with Hikvision products and my network is fully Unifi with a Cloud Gateway Fiber up front.

I believe the cams are ONVIF capable so maybe I can get them added to Protect? Does anyone have experience with this? Do I lose any capability adding them to Protect vs using the native DVR?

I popped off the doorbell and it just has two wires running to it, not a proper data run. I'm assuming the Unifi doorbells are not compatible with this?

One other possibility is to run Surveillance Station on my Synology NAS. I have not used that in the past but maybe that is a better option than the Gateway? I'm not sure I'll have enough video retention with the SSD option.

SOLVED - when my internet went out and came back on my gf’s iPad snuck onto the new network via iCloud syncing from her phone

I’ve just setup a brand new network yesterday. I’m taking my time and slowly moving devices to the new WiFi. I’ve only put my phone and my girlfriend’s phone on so far. Her watch connected automatically through her phone I guess.

I woke up this morning to see this mystery iPad. She has one in the house but when I looked at its WiFi it’s still on my old network.

Our internet went out last night for a brief time and it looked like this thing joined when it came back.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Before I hit send it disappeared from my device list. I googled the MAC address it showed me and they said it was unidentifiable. I also verified that the MAC on the one iPad we have in the house isn’t the one that it listed

Seems that the ISP health and internet quality ping tests have been updated along with the 5.1.12 update. Previously, I would run ping tests manually and see sub 20ms latency but the internet quality graph would show 100+ms. Now, latency aligns closer with my manual tests!

I am having trouble with the cloud gateway fiber internal speed test. I recently signed up for 8gb fiber with Ezeefiber and have tested the ONT —> Eero router(that isp provided) and it achieves a little above 8Gb upload and download without issue. The ookla speed test screen shot is the result of ONT —> Eero router —> pc all using cat6.

Last night I began the full migration to my UniFi equipment and plugged the ONT directly into the Cloud Gateway Fiber via Ethernet. It ran the setup and downloaded the latest updates. When I do the speed test I am barely achieving 6gb download and over 6gb upload. I can confirm IDS and Smart Queues are both disabled.

To further troubleshoot, I connected a DAC from cloud gateway fiber into the XG 8 PoE++ and then Ethernet from
XG 8 PoE++ into ubiquti 10gbe usc c adapter into a MacBook and confirmed the traffic can negotiate at the full 10gb. I then tested multiple speed tests platforms using the MacBook and here are the results

1. UniFi UCG Fiber internal test: 5,242 down / 6,959 up

2. MacBook + Ubiquiti 10GbE adapter, Ookla/browser: 6,055.64 down / 5,314.66 up

3. Google Fiber speed test, MacBook wired: 8,162.4 down / 7,411.6 up

4. WiFiman wired client test: 7,801.53 down / 5,495.71 up

5. Ookla Speedtest single connection: 7,718.60 down / 5,019.64 up

6. Ookla Speedtest multi connection: 7,130.76 down / 6,424.89 up

My question is, does this all look correct? Am I getting the full 8gb down and up despite the internal cloud gateway fiber test being way off? I know it states to not rely on the speeds but making sure I am not doing anything wrong. Any insight and guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.

First time user of Unifi products and looking for a starter setup for my home.

1. Cloud key+ and a 8 PoE switch plus 2 interior G5 dome ultra and 2 exterior G5 turret
   Or
2. NVR kit https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cameras-nvr/collections/unvr-instant/products/unvr-instant-kit
   Please advise!

I am not sure how to reduce multicast on my network. it looks pretty high.

UCG-Fiber -> UXG PRO -> 2 iPhones, 1 MacBook Pro, 1 HomePod

Mac Studio connected by ethernet. (the rest are not Apple Devices)

In the settings activated I have : Multicast to unicast, IGMP Snooping
