Bought oversea. They probably not sure familiar with our local broadband settings.

did you check on youtube how they setup it? maybe some of the step you missed? never had amplify unit.. so not sure too... watch on youtube only

Solved it. Another member helped. Thank god for lowyat.net!

Not really UBNT-related but, after some thought, I've decided not yet to go for Edgerouter-X. Why?

1. My initial plan is to have traffic monitoring & DPI like UBNT Unifi. My office is using Unifi solution across an entire building of 31 floors with 70-80 UAP-ACs. Unifi dashboard is really impressive.

2. I believe full Unifi solution is too expensive for my home use. Need to buy USG, Cloud Key & 3 UAP-AC. Even if I only use USG & run Cloud Key on cloud, that still cost RM500++ for USG.

3. Edgerouter has DPI & traffic summaries, but it's only for 30 minutes. UNMS hosted on cloud can store bandwidth summaries, but DPI history still not yet implemented on UNMS.

Therefore, I went for this setup instead:

1. TP-Link C1200 as router & file-sharing server. Wifi disabled. VLAN untagging & HyyPTV is offloaded to item 2.
2. TP-Link SG108E for VLAN untagging & port mirroring.
3. D-Link DIR-868L as wired AP at living area for ground floor Wifi.
4. 2 units of D-Link DIR-850L as wired APs to cover first floor. Both bought second hand to save cost
5. All wired via in-wall CAT 5E cables.
6. Re-purposed my wife's old Acer Switch 10 (installed Ubuntu), connected to SG108E's mirror port, running ntopng.

Total cost (including cables & wire strippers) : RM 380

With 3 APs, I'm getting excellent Wifi speed (300-400mbps) great coverage (slowest is 130mbps) across the entire house.

ntopng also looks impressive

UAP AC M + UMA-D

Beautiful piece. Is that active directional?

yes it is...

manage see2 1 unit of this.. but no chance to try

Guys,

Need a favor. I have an USG connected to a POE switch & a cloud key. I try multiple times to get it to work but didnt happen.

On the setup page, choose dhcp also doesnt work, pppoe also doesnt work.

Anybody can point me to the right direction? My data is bad at home so unable to scroll thru all prev pages here to study.

Tq2

try look at this video.


and why u say your ppoe does not work?

Thx for the prompt reply bro. Anyhow, my setup just now on the gateway setup screen, i chose PPPOE option, key in Unifi id & password. Save, then nada. Nothing. Error or something.

Connection was TM BTU > USG. Tested via dhcp by using the TM Router > USG. Also doesnt go to internet to proceed setup.

TM UniFi right? it has a vlan tagging.... its PPPoE on Vlan tagging.
You can refer to below. The principles is the same. Add vlan should be working.

Edge Router

Hi there, i uploaded a video to my server so you can watch a quick set up for your unifi. I hope it works. Cheers.
here is the link to my video

http://opn.sytes.net:5000/vs/sharing/7neqX...G9tZV92aWRlby0y

I did read this earlier yesterday but unfortunately during the setup page only show this page:



So tried DHCP - Nada
Tried PPPOE - No option for VLAN tagging.

Hence the headace. Apologize - Newb in networking.


Appreciate the video bro, I'm gonna try this out next week as I can't configure the network on Thursday - Saturday.

Another question, since all the AP's is installed on the ceiling, & on the switch I saw it shows as "AP managed by others" - Is there any way that I can adopt it directly via GUI? Or do I need to reset it first?

Thanks thanks thanks

i think better for you just reset it. since its managed by others unless you know ssh username and password, then it will easier. but since latest controller, username and password for ssh is different from unifi controller username and password

I didn't check yesterday but I saw a FAQ on UBNT page that the POE injector have a reset button on the bottom to reset the AP; I'm gonna try that rather than climbing up the ladder to reset all the AP deployed.

if it is not possible to reach it. yeah, you can use it to reset.

Got it. I'll be back with more question

It only shows that page posibbly because u need the latest firmware before starting the setup. Good luck.

sorry bro hijack a bit. i'm having the exact same issue, but after doing the steps shown in the video, can see from the controller, that the USG has already a WAN IP, but i am still unable to access the internet.. my pc is connected to the LAN 1 port on USG.
