Hey guys I just got my Unifi a few days ago, everything fine and good. Just want to ask how to protect our Unifi equipment from lightning. I do have a cal-lab lightning isolator for my four socket plug that the Unifi euipment is connected to, is that enough?
Asking coz my area quite susceptible to lightning strike, kill my modem/router and PC a few times already |

QUOTE(rattan @ Sep 25 2011, 01:51 PM) Why worry, its all covered with warranty. Even lightning protector cannot protect 100% I know it's covered, at least if protected less chances of it happening and I don't have to go through the trouble of waiting for stuff to be replaced. I do have to work you know, and can't simply stay home whenever I want and wait for TM to replace my Unifi equipments |

QUOTE(Kiding @ Sep 25 2011, 10:12 PM) If you are landed property, you don't even need to worry about lightning strike your network equipment, because it is FTTH, fiber is immune to electric, it is non-conductive media! thanks for the info If you are in high rise building, since the copper cable inside the building may induce current when lightning strike, it is possible to damage the network equipment but normally quite unlikely.  QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Sep 25 2011, 11:45 PM) Still... there's copper part for landed property. Surge protection is still needed for power supply. Don't tell me you power from fibre xD yeah power supply is protectedQUOTE(Kiding @ Sep 26 2011, 12:26 AM) Of course, power outlet still need to be protected, but network cable shouldn't be worry, it is pretty easy for modem to get lightning strike via phone line most of the time, last time I got 2-3 times lightning strike every year, every time it hit the modem, no exception. yeah I experience that so many times, changed modem/router 2-3 times in just a few months. good to know that I don't have to worry about the fiber optic line, as long as my power supply have surge protection |

QUOTE(Nixdorf @ Sep 27 2011, 12:11 AM) Thanks. But may I know where can I look for it ? I'm using the Dlink DIR-615. Been searching the router for long time but still cant find it. It's under Maintenance > Device Administration, I just check mine and it's actually enable, so better check yours too |

Yeah I settle my previous line and streamyx myself, just go to TM Point, fill in the form and pass them the phone. Now waiting for them to send me the bill so that I know how much I need to pay.
Unifi dc last night, could only reconnect after I restart the modem, after everything fine |

Btw guys, is it possible to connect a router to the router that came with Unifi (DIR 615), actually I did try it yesterday, and it works, but for some reason it stop working today. DIR 615 doesn't have enough ports for me and my housemates to connect to it, currently I am just using a Dlink switch for them to connect

QUOTE(spacelion @ Sep 28 2011, 11:07 PM) can't each of you buy a RM30 USB wifi antenna instead? we already have cables pulled to where we place the router, we already have an extra router that we use for streamyx last time, why would we want to spend RM30 more and buy USB wifi antenna. Anyway I did get the additional router to work last night, but it just doesn't work now, just want to see if anyone set up something similar before |
