So I got the USW 48 switch and it went boom. On closer inspection, I found out that the 68uf 400W capacitor on the power circuit is swollen and it is the probable cause for burning out the fuse and resistors r20 to r24. I have no problem finding the capacitor or the fuse but the resistors are so burnt that I have no clue what they are. I'm hoping that someone could help me to find the replacement components

Do ya'll think you would be able to run Doom on the new rgb gamer network switches that Ubiquiti will start to sell soon? and how expensive would it even be to do that

Summary A Reddit user, SandmaNn42, has reported being notified of a detection from Unifi protect camera that was not part of the users adopted cameras and in the notification showed a house that was not theirs. An additional user, turnerd10, in the comments reported opening the remote access page and seeing a UDM Pro that was not theirs. The Ubiquiti Reddit account has reached out to both users for more information. Quotes My thoughts I would disable remote access to your Unifi consoles until this is address by Ubiquiti. Its scary to think that someone could have access to someone else's network at random. Sources https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/18hgpw1/security_problem/

I was watching the Ubiquiti ShortCircuit video and saw that its a dual socked motherboard. But it only has 1 processor in it? do you think its an early version board they have or would Ubiquiti sell a 2 processor version. I get its common in servers to have more then 1 processor but would they really need 2 16 core processors?

Hi all-- I have a Unifi Switch Aggregation (a layer 2 switch) and am trying to disable RSTP on specific ports on the switch. These devices are being significantly delayed while connecting to the network because of the RSTP "config time" which happens every time the devices (Windows 11 clients) wake from sleep or turn back on after being shut down. In my internetworking class that I am taking in college, my professor suggested that I enable spanning-tree port fast which is meant for the Cisco devices we use in class. Is it possible and how I could do this on my Ubiquiti switch?

Budget (including currency): 2000-3000 EUR Country: EU Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: the only public service is plex, however I am running about 10 containers on the unraid machine. Other details Hello, I'm thinking about building a proper homelab however I am not sure about VLANs and some other things. Please note that I haven't bought any ubiquity gear, nor a rack, the only thing I own from this image is the unraid desktop machine (i3-10100, 16GB ram, 20TB), my gaming PC my work laptop (with the ts3 plus dock for the laptop) - so 0 networking gear, no rack, no cameras, just the PCs (minus the NUCs). Would love some guidance on how to do this, given the following diagram: The setup itself is basically an idea, when I get a new place to have everything properly setup. The 2 intel nucs would be 64GB i7 machines running a proxmox cluster for tinkering and testing, while the unraid machine, while having a few docker containers running (10) to only have plex exposed to the world. Raspberry PI is there to monitor everything else, every service and every machine and to send notifications if something is wrong/down. I am hesitant on buying Power Backup and/or Power Distribution Professional to monitor the power usage as well as to have an UPS, however the power supply from ubiquiti seems to only power their own devices, not other devices such as the intel NUCs. Overall, I need to find a case to transplant the storage from the unraid fractal design case to a rack and to move the PC to the rack if possible. The idea is to have unraid in a rack as well as the PC, while the PC being in the rack is a plus I still need to figure out if having a PC in the rack is something I am willing to invest in. The questions I have: - Should I cut back on some VLANs? Can you give me any examples to be as simple as possible while having some minimum security? - Should I add IoT devices on their own network, including the Apple TV 4k? My concern is if I am able to airplay/cast to the device - I've read that VLANs by default have access to other VLANs in ubiquity software, should this be disabled? - How do I monitor for individual power usage, do I just get some smart plugs or do I go for the power distribution professional thing? - What good cases are there for PCs? Preferably I want to move the unraid desk PC to a 2U server to be placed in the rack, same with the PC - will need to figure out how to game from another room (long display port cables + some dock for USB devices?) - What UPS is good for 10ish minutes of runtime? In an event of a power outage I'd like to safely turn off all things asap. I might have more questions but I want to make sure I plan this appropriately as this hobby can get expensive real quick. Any reading material/videos are highly appreciated, as this project is about a year and a half away, however I want to plan ahead as I need to run cat6 cables through the home as to be 2.5gbe and 10gbe ready (currently have 500/250 internet, 2.5gbe home internet is already available here)

Hi all- I recently got a Ubiquiti Switch Aggregation (the switch with 8x 10G SFP+ ports on it). I am having a problem where Windows clients that are connected to the switch with SFP+ to RJ45 adapters are taking upwards of 1-2 minutes to start receiving any traffic. I am not sure what is causing this. I currently have all 8 ports of the switch in use. I am using 2x aggregated together for a 20G connection to another switch (no connection delay), 1x for our main router (no connection delay), 1x for a PoE switch (no connection delay), 1x for a NAS (no connection delay), and then then the 3 remaining ports are connected to 10GbE equipped windows machines. The SFP+ to RJ45 adapters are from fs.com and the NICs in the Windows machines are from ASUS and TP-Link, all using the same chip from Aquantia I believe. I am using CAT6A ethernet cables between the switch and the machines. Once each machine connects (which usually like I said takes between 1 - 2 minutes) they are able to obtain the full 10/10 G speed. Does anyone have any ideas of what settings I can tweak? Should I try setting static IPs for those devices?

Summary An ex-Ubiquiti engineer, Nickolas Sharp, was sentenced to six years in prison yesterday after pleading guilty in a New York court to stealing tens of gigabytes of confidential data, demanding a $1.9 million ransom from his former employer, and then publishing the data publicly when his demands were refused. Quotes My thoughts This was coming for him. More than this, he even tried to feed this fake breach info to Krebs on Security who wrote multiple articles defaming Ubiquiti causing their stock to tumble as per their own words. I remember this was discussed last year in WAN show when this came out, so I hope we get to see final thoughts of Linus and Luke on WAN show on this final news.

Hi everyone! I need to get around my CG-NAT to access 2 IP Cameras from outside my house, (before any of you ask this, no, my carrier does not offer a Public IP address, as i get my service via 4G, and i can choose between a total of 2 carriers, none of which offer public IPs). The Solution i came up with, is to rent a VPS in the cloud that i use as a PPTP VPN server (with port forwarding), and to connect an EdgeRouter (under which i connected my cameras) to it. The VPN works perfectly, even port forwarding does, i even tried connecting directly to it with my pc, and opening ports via Windows Firewall. Now to the main problem, the EdgeRouter, i managed to have it connect to the VPN server, i got an IP address, and i can even surf the web through the VPN, but i just can't get the port forwarding to work, i'm currently to the point where if i expose regular HTTP with port 8080 i can detect SYN packets through WireShark, but it's almost like the response packets can't get to destination, i'm pretty sure it's a NAT issue on the EdgeRouter side. A few details about my setup: Home (Natted) Network: 192.168.1.0/24 EdgeRouter's Network (Where the IP Cameras are): 192.168.10.0/24 VPN's Network (Server and pptpc0 interface): 192.168.50.0/24 VPN Server OS: Windows Server I attached a map of my network topology. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hello all. My office has currently gone live with Yealink T54W VoIP phones in one location with a few more locations to follow in the coming weeks. All phones connected via Ethernet have no problems connecting and provisioning. I have one phone that does not have an Ethernet jack handy that I'd like to connect via Wi-Fi. I'm able to connect to the network fine but it's unable to obtain an IP address. I have tried setting the MAC address of the phone to a static IP on our Sonicwall to no avail. I have also enabled constant NAT through the Sonicwalls VoIP settings and disabled Enable SIP Transportation as suggested by some on the Sonicwall forums. We are using Ubiquiti APs throughout the office connected to a Netgear L2 (I believe but will confirm when back on site) 48 port switch. All network equipment is running it's most current official release firmware.

Has anyone set up a ubiquiti udm se in an apartment? Looking at upgrading my network but i could use some suggestions on installation. It needs to go in my closet and i have to minimize the space i use up to appease my wife. I was debating a wall mount rack but i am open to suggestions.

Hello all. Longtime viewer, first time poster. I’ve recently taken over IT for a private medical practice with a fairly high (75) amount of staff. In the past few months I’ve replaced an older generation Dell Sonicwall with a gen 7 model (TZ 270) and replaced their ancient Rukus APs with 3 UniFi AP-AC-Pros which I manage through the UniFi controller software on the PC that hosts our server VMs. I’ve set it all up through the 2 existing ZyXEL GS1910-48 switches running firmware 2.0 (the most recent version I can find in their website, though they’ve reached EoL) I’ve built the main and guest networks on both the Sonicwall and the UniFi panel and everything works fine. My problem lies in VLANs. I’d like to add a 3rd network for a specific group of staff primarily using wireless devices that is completely isolated from our production network. I’ve created the VLAN under X0 in the Sonicwall and created the DHCP lease scope, then allowed the VLAN tag through the port of the AP I’m using for testing on the switch, then finally created the Network in UniFi using the VLAN only checkbox and assigning its tag. Once completed, I have a broadcasting network that can’t connect to internet or even give an IP address. Is there a step I’m missing somewhere? Feels like I’m close but a step or two off. I’d appreciate any ideas you have, as I’m at a loss.

Hi all, I need to be able to run a switch outside because I have a couple of ethernet devices that will plug into it. I have a switch flex mini laying around so I would like to be able to use that if possible. My idea was to place the switch in a weatherproof enclosure since its not weatherproof. My only concern is it states the operating temperature can only be -5 to 45° C (23 to 113° F). In my area the temperature can get to 0° F and sometimes a bit below. Would it be possible to still use this switch? Any ideas would be great!

Hello ! I have heard about Ubiquit's products for a while and was trying to get better network hardware for my house. My ISP gave me a HUGE box which is an all-in-one box (router, switch, AP) that I would like to replace with something more compact, more powerful and with many more administrative capabilities. This box has a SFP+ Simplex Fiber SC connector where my internet comes in. Since this would be my first hands-on experiment and I am not a network expert, however I do understand well the concepts, I would like to ask for some advice. From what I understand I would need a router, a switch and some APs. The following are my current selection so far: Router - For the router I am considering the UISP Router. Would I be able to connect my ISP's fiber cable to this piece of hardware given than I use a correct SPF+ adapter? Switch - For the switch I am thinkin of the UISP Switch I can see that the router and the switch both have RJ45 connectors. Is a switch really necessary? Can I just connect my wired devices to the router's RJ45s? AP - For the access points that I want to deploy at my bedroom and living room I am considering the In-Wall HD I would appreciate if somebody could shed some light to the configuration drafted here. I am most worried about being able to connect my fiber cable to any new hardware I buy and get internet connection. I would appreciate if we could keep the conversation only related to Ubiquiti's hardware.

Hi all I have a couple of Ubiquiti WiFi 6 Long range and Lite Access Points around my house and after setting them up I found I was only able to get between 200Mbps to 300Mbps maximum. I set them up with most of the settings on default or auto. These access points should easily be able to do 500Mbps+ (which is also my internet speed). I did an environment scan (see picture), so maybe theres too much congestion on a channel? But my access points are around channel 48 and theres no 5G interference around those channels?? I ran the speed test on a 5Ghz Network. I am not sure what the problem could be? Also I'm new to Ubiquiti gear so its likely I missed something.

Hello, Due to recent events, I have decided it's time to upgrade my home security, and I've been looking at POE cameras from Ubiquiti and Lorex. The problem is that both of these systems, the majority of the cost is for a Network Video Recorder (NVR), and I already have a TrueNAS server, that seems like it should be capable of doing exactly the same thing the proprietary NVRs are. Does anyone know if there is a way to just use a POE switch and TrueNAS to replace the NVR?

Hello. I'm thinking on sending WIfi signal using point to point antennas for about 3km / 1.90miles (sort of), so, after reading a bit and a few videos, I think Ubiquiti powerbeam AC or Airfiber is the way to go because i want to transfer at least 200 Mbs. So, i have Three questions. First Can i use any switch/Router brand to connect the antennas or do i need to use Ubiquiti only? Second If i get a ubiquiti switch like the 16 port Lite, do i need to buy the cloud key to manage the network of the slave antenna? Third Is that Ubiquiti 16 ports /POE /45 W enough to power a Powerbeam AC or the Airfiber? Thanks in advance

Hi all I have a couple of questions about my ubiquiti setup and about some SFP+ to RJ45 adapters. I wired my house for 10GbE (Cat6A) and for some of the devices I want to be able to utilize the full 10GbE connection. I recently bought a Ubiquiti USW-Aggregation which has 8x 10Gb SFP+ ports on it. I also have 2 other switches, a USW-Enterprise-8-PoE and a USW-Pro-24. My router is a UDM Pro. I plan to use the Switch Aggregation to connect the switches together as well as use 4 of the ports for computers I want to have 10G on and also one port for a NAS. My original plan was to aggregate 2x 10G SFP+ ports together to connect the other two switches together which would use up 4 of the ports, 2 10G links for each. The other 3 would be used for desktops around the house and the last one as I said would be used for the NAS. Is there any reason the Dream Machine Pro would need to be connected through 10G rather than just 1G? My internet connection is only 1G so the only reason I could see the need for 10G would be for the NVR access to the drive in the Dream Machine Pro but I doubt you'd need 10G for a mechanical HDD. Let me know if I'm wrong My other question was about these 10Gb SFP+ to RJ45 adapters. I need these to connect a few desktops to my Ubiquiti Switch Aggregation. Is there any difference between these? Are any brands better than others? FS.com option 1 Amazon option 2 Amazon option 3 Amazon option 4 There's also this "Industrial" one from FS.com. Thanks for anyones input!

Hi, asking on the LTT forums because I couldn't find the answer on the Ubiquiti forums. This is in regards to their U-LTE technology, which is an LTE-failover modem, because Charter is extremely unreliable in my area. I am running an all-ubiquiti deployment, and have a U-LTE set up as a failover-solution. I have been experiencing brief but frequent ISP disconnects (or significant performance drops) over the past few months, which actually prompted me to purchase the U-LTE. This immediately resolved my problem, so well that the only way I know the problem is still going on is by seeing the data use going up in the U-LTE, or by calling my ISP and asking them if they see the issue on their side. What I don't see is the failover events in the unifi dashboard The weird thing is that I used to, or when it's a longer failover event, all the logs show up. I've double-checked the alerting settings and they should all be on. Does anyone know if there any way to get more verbose logging on the U-LTE? I want to know how often these events are happening and for what duration, so I can better contest with my ISP. Please let me know if there is other data I need to provide or other settings I should check. Thanks in advance

I am moving into a new house in a few weeks and we wired for 10GbE. My current network switch is a Ubiquiti Switch Pro 24 with no PoE or 10G other than the two SFP+ ports. I predict as of now that I'll only have maybe 5 10G devices but in the future that number could change to 10 or so. I was looking at selling my switch and buying the Switch Enterprise XG 24 for future proofing, but this switch doesn't have any PoE ports on it either and in my new house I have 7 PoE devices (also Unifi). Two of them need PoE+ and the other 5 only need standard PoE. I could just use PoE injectors which was my original idea or I could settle for a PoE switch and the Enterprise XG. I am not sure what to do. I have a NAS that is also 10G capable so I would like to be able to use the 10G capabilities of the networking in my home since I already have the wiring for it. What do you guys recommend? Feedback is greatly appreciated. Also why is some of the used Ubiquiti gear selling for more than new on eBay? That doesn't make any sense??

i am curious if i can get advice on a network upgrade. current network is using a D-link 1024D for a small office with VoIP and multiple computers, but it has started to become slow as we have maxed out all the 1gb ports with computers and switches. looking at getting the ubiquity switch pro 48 PoE to upgrade and allow for expand-ability. the biggest thing we want is to have 10gb Ethernet, so can i use the SFP+ slots to wire in the main server? upgrades for the office Intel x550-t2 (https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/88209/intel-ethernet-converged-network-adapter-x550t2.html) Switch Pro 48 PoE (https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-switching/products/usw-pro-48-poe)

Hello all, I've been running a small IT shop for about a year and a half now. I got started installing UniFI dream machine pro's and the more I use them the more I seem to have issues with them not giving me accurate information in the uniFi console. I was also drawn to them for the "all in one" solution and now that I'm getting better at my networking skills, I'm noticing and being annoyed more and more with the software bugs, lack of strong community support, and more prosumer attitude towards product rollout. I'm thinking of jumping ship now before I get into bed further with them (i.e. buying and installing more products.). I'm not okay with the idea of paying the ridiculous licensing fees of Meraki and the like. I remember watching Linus's video on the MikroTik 10g switch and have started doing preliminary research into them. I need someone with more experience to tell me I am or am not headed in the right direction. is UniFI a necessary evil? I'm due for a network upgrade at my office/home so I'm thinking of installing the first new brand installation at my house so I can learn/teach myself/etc... Thoughts? -Morgan

Router: Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro (192.168.10.0/24, DHCP only hands out addresses above .50) PC1: Gaming PC Custom Built (Windows 10) (192.168.10.69) PC2: Asrock 4X4 Box 4800U (Debian 11) (192.168.10.16) Not sure where else to post as this problem has been plaguing me for the past few months. I'm running k3s (kubernetes) on my Debian 11 Box (pretty vanilla, nothing special) with a few services such as Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Prometheus, ect.. In order for me to access these services on my network, I use Metal LB in layer 2 mode so it will assign IP's to the various services running in k3s (for example Plex is running on 192.168.10.23, Radarr is running on 192.168.10.24, and Sonarr is running on 192.168.10.25). Every few days the Debian box just stops responding. It becomes unpingable on the network and I havent been able to hook up a display to it to investigate what is going on. I reboot it and when it starts back up, its pingable again. The moment the Debian box dies the Windows box network also dies and doesnt come back until i disable/re-enable IPv4 or bounce the Debian box. I'm thinking of trying a nodeport instead of MetalLB but thats kind of unsatisfying. I'm also thinking of cutting another VLAN and putting this server on that VLAN to prevent the Windows machine from dying. Things to note or things I've tried: - STP is enabled on the network - The ARP table becomes incomplete for both the Debian box (192.168.10.16) and all IP's running on it. - Used to have an edgerouterX with the same exact problem. - Tried Ubuntu 20.04 and had the same problem - All other wireless clients on that subnet (via wired Access Points) are completely fine and operate normally. I know this is a super specific problem, but I've been ripping my hair out on this one and can't figure out what the problem is and any ideas/help would be awesomely appreciated.

This is a project I picked up for my family over the holidays. We will be connecting the networks of three houses from a central omni-directional antenna in the middle of a field. I have opted to use Ubiquiti products for this build due to my experience working with them in the past. It ain't much but it's honest work. - The age old story of US Internet providers. The only Internet provider available in this rural location offers only one speed, molasses. It is horribly inconsistent, and service has only degraded over the years. There are three houses, two with independent connections, and one using a hotspot with the only mobile carrier with reception in the area. On a good day, the best connection averages 1.4Mbps download, 0.15 Mbps upload, and 80ms latency. The second house's connection is somehow noticeably and consistently worse than the first. The ISP refuses to add service to the third house despite having it previously due to their over-provisioned lines. Calls to the ISP for the degraded service are a waste of time, any service at all is enough for them to call acceptable. For this premium broadband experience, they are paying $50/mo for two homes, and even more for the hotspot in the third. While researching this project over the best of these connections, I stumbled upon a great example of the current situation. When a PDF failed to open in-browser after a few minutes, I resorted to downloading a copy through terminal. The result was 6 minutes 11 seconds to download a 16.4MB file. If you build it, they will come. A pre-order has been in with Starlink for a year now. The latest update suggests service may be available starting in March. Since the pre-order, another service provider has started offering tower based point to point Internet service some 50 miles away. There is rumor of them expanding the service area, but for now, it is a race to see which service will be available first. We have yet to see if either provider will provide a reliable connection with acceptable speeds. The plan is to build a suitable intranet so that when better service is available, the existing services can be cancelled and all buildings can run off of the same uplink. The Plan - Part 1: Location Points A, B, and C represent the houses, point M represents the bridge between the houses, and P represents our source of power for the bridge (more on this later). Every point to point connection is in line of sight. This is a heavily wooded area, and there is little room for modification due to the treeline. Conveniently, the connections to B and C run parallel with power lines, which keeps the chainsaw out of my hands, and leaves future tree trimming to the power company. The Plan - Part 2: Equipment Point M represents the point to multi-point omni-directional device to serve as the backbone. For this I chose the R5AC-LITE-US ($135 USD) with AMO-5G10 ($125 USD) antenna to operate in bridge mode. Each house will be equipped with a Loco5AC-US ($49 USD each). I believe this is an economical option which should allow speeds of up to 450Mbps between the locations. I had originally planned on using three more Loco5AC-US as a bridge before exploring omni-directional options. I would have used a NanoSwitch to provide pass-through PoE and power all of the devices. Having found the N-SW, it looks like an awesome product and I was looking forward to using it. Maybe another time! The Plan - Part 3: Power A road running between points A and M prevents burying cable between them. A water well house, marked as point P, is the only way of getting power to our equipment at M. The well house sits just shy of 100m/330ft from our equipment, and while a CAT6 cable has a maximum distance of 100m/327ft, passive PoE (24v) is only good for 45m/150ft at best. Finding a way to use PoE for this would be a money saver, but burying 110v electric is also an option. The downside to this is the cost of electrical cable, outlet, and waterproofing needed at the bridge. Review My idea is to bring the family's Internet out of the 00's and plan for it stable enough to last the next decade. Reducing the overhead of the three Internet connections should cover the cost of equipment within the first year, even with a higher service fee. TL;DR: Using wireless point to point to cut three Internet connections down to one. Burying 110v electrical across a field because PoE will probably not work. Estimated cost: less than $500 USD. Equipment price list: Model Cost Qty Total Price R5AC-LITE-US 89 1 135 AMO-5G10 125 1 125 Loco5AC-US 49 3 147 Pre-tax $407 Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions. I am also open to other brands of point to point equipment if anyone has had good experiences.
