Hi, can i ask if i want to upgrade my current wireless AP, how to choose for a wireless AP?

I am leaning towards Ubiquiti because of it's POE functionality.
The obvious recommendation now is uap-ac-pro but it's quite aged yet no obvious discount still.

I am using an edgerouter x now, using the POE to power a Mikrotik wireless AP, very aged now.

looking at current lineup would be U6-LR or U6-Lite, i think they might fulfill my needs.
If i were to setup mesh network in future, can i use older AP that is running on wifi5 to link with newer wifi6 network?

slightly confused :

1. Does Dream Machine (UMD-Pro) support PoE ?
2. Are all Cat5e cables PoE or is there specific cables for PoE ?

Have to wait for Dream Machine Pro SE for PoE support... but it's sold out at the UI Early Access EU store...

Hi everyone,

Anyone care to share their Ubiquiti Access Point RF settings? Specifically the Channel Width and the Transmit Power? Right now I'm setting 2.4ghz at HT20 and 5ghz at HE40. Both are using Auto Transmit Power. Thanks!

I'm looking to set up VPN direct into the USG3 (non-pro) but my Google search is turning up a lot of posts saying the speed (L2TP)  is horrible slow.

Admittedly those posts are a few years back so has recent firmware/controller updates change this (or it's due to USG hw limitation and not likely resolvable)?

What are the experiences of the sifus here with using the USG3 as a VPN server? Or am I better off exploring other options eg using a Rasperry PI?

TQ

where u get U6-LR ?

i am curious also where did you get your U6-LR version?

There's only U6 Lite and LR

Usually, Do u guys direct order from ubiquiti website or buy from seller at shopee/lazada? I saw some post/review, shopee seller need to scratch off unifi name cause of infringement/confuse with TM Unifi.

AFAIK you can get the U6-LR from subtel singapore, they have bunch of it. But idk if the do postage to Malaysia or not.

Sweet I might gonna borong all of them haha. Better get yours fast 

Protect is RM2.5k ? See-ing how fast Ubiquiti made their Video NVR obsolete (including removing the app from app store), not willing to spend more and end up getting stuck again !

I just want to get my 20 G3 cameras back to recording 

ubiquiti still can be sold in MY?

I heard there was an issue between Ubiquiti VS Telekom?

because of the usage of UniFi word right?

is it all settled now?

tm should stick with the name tmnet. in era of dsl, 1st they use tmnet streamyx, after divorcing, they just use streamyx name without tmnet anymore.

then come unifi which i should say ubiquiti used 1st because i remember when tm launch the 1st unifi advertisement 10 years ago, if you google that word, it will show ubiquiti as a 1st result.

I see.. do you know any local installers? Trying to find someone that carries the product and can do installation

The configuration is not hard?

But it's not as simple as Google WiFi or Tp-Link Deco setup right?

Those are really just plug and play

Anyone successful on getting hand on UAP6-LR? I am waiting mine to reach stock, should be this week but still no update from the distributor.

Got mine already this evening. Up and running, so far I am very satisfied with it. It is big and heavy also.

I never tried with NPS, but I do pair it with radius server in my mikrotik router. What issue do you have with the NPS? Maybe we can help here.

Are you using  AD DHCP server as well to assign ip from specific VLAN?

Hi, I've been running a Ubiquiti setup at home, with ER-X (latest 2.0.9-hotfix2) as the WAN router and Edgeswitch 8-150W-PoE supplying 24V passive to the ER-X. The other equipment are Ubiquiti AP and Flex mini supplied via af/at POE. This setup has been functioning well for over a year.

The Edgeswitch is protected by UPS.

Recently I've had two power trips. After the first power trip, the ER-X became non-responsive but I managed to recover using TFTP. Somehow the ER-X settings were scrambled due to the power trip (the UPS prevented a shutdown of the EdgeSwitch and my other PoE equipment continued functioning as normal).

I just had my second trip yesterday, the ER-X didn't brick like the previous time but has been acting really strange. my IoT VLAN couldn't get DHCP leases (devices will acquire IP and then immediately release it), while my main VLAN seems to function, but with high packet loss to the Internet (pings will show 1 successful packet with 5-6 dropped packets, and this is just between the PC and the router interface). Bandwidth between two PCs on the same VLAN seems to be normal.

I had to swap back to the ISP supplied router and the network performance is as expected (Speetest reaches 90+ Mbps on a 100 Mbps link). I looked at the ER-X configuration via "show configuration" in the CLI but everything seems normal. Rebooting the ER-X does not improve matters.

It looks like the ER-X has malfunctioned but there are no useful alerts or error messages from the Web interface.

I'd like to ask, from your experience, is 24V passive PoE is susceptible to power glitches and trips, where the connected equipment will get fried somehow. So far my other af/at connected devices have not experienced any issues.

I'm now inclined to not power the ER-X via the 24V passive PoE going forward. However, getting replacement devices are difficult currently, ER-X stock seems to be exhausted. I've even checked Mikrotik but their routers are also Passive PoE powered.

Are there no af/at powered routers in a similar price range to the ER-X? Should I avoid using 24V Passive PoE to power my equipment?

The latest power trip was quite long and the UPS battery died. After power returned and the system powered up my ER-X started acting strange.
I'm not sure why during power trip the ER-X experienced glitch. Maybe there is still some spike that went through, or the sudden power on/off did something?

I guess the problem must be common enough that the professionals would not rely on 24V PoE to power the router.

I didn't know Ruijie is still in the Malaysian market. I heard of them some years back.

I'm on TIME so 2.0.9 firmware was ok for me.

Stock is low even for Unifi products in the US. I think it is supply chain issues that is affecting all devices.
You're right in that Edgemax is not being promoted, since the users are supposed to be techies. Ubiquiti would rather sell products with simplified web interface. I'm still not running the 6.x.x Controller software for my APs for example as it does not have the same functionality as the older version.

I agree on Ubiquiti bugs.

I can't afford the UDM Pro. It's too expensive for my use case. The UDM is also quite redundant, I already have my APs etc. and the Fiber termination point is not ideal for WiFi coverage.

The ER-X is actually ideal for me. Thankfully it wasn't glitched by the power trip. There really needs to be another new router solution which is in between the ER-X and the UDM Pro (Only non-Unifi solution is ER-4 but it's not worth it in terms of the specs), but so far as I've read they're only on EA in the US. I don't think we'll see any new product launch for this part of the world from Ubiquiti until the chip shortage is over.
