Would an UbiQuiti setup for Unifi like this be ok?

Fiber Modem : Unifi Fiber Modem

-Router : Ubiquiti Edge Router X

--Switch : TS-8-PRO

---Study Room Ethernet

---Android Box 1

---UAP-AC-LITE POE (Ground Floor)

---Android Box 2

---UAP-AC-LITE POE (First Floor)

---CCTV DVR

---UAP-AC-LITE POE (Second Floor)

Basically I want to use POE for the ceiling wireless APs, connect everything to the switch connect the switch to the router.

TS-8-Pro able to provide power to the ac lite. so, no need worry bout adapter.

the setup looks good.

fiber modem -> ERX -> TS-8-Pro -> CCTV DVR + 3 x AC Lite

The Android box also using wired connection. So total 7 connections to the TS-8-Pro.

For CCTV and android box using existing cat5e cables but for study room and AC Lite x 3 using cat6.

Can such a setup support Hypp TV?

I plan to house the ERX and TS-8-Pro in the DB closet as that is the location the Unifi fiber terminates and also all the existing cat5e cabling. Does the ERX and TS-8-Pro need aircon? hopefully not

What is the range of the AC Lite in normal malaysian concrete and brick house? I plan to install them in front of stairwell to maximize clear distances to users/clients.

Can you provide a quote to supply and install including setup? I will run the cables myself. Would also need somesort of rack that can house the fiber modem, ERX and TS-Pro

cat6 only for outdoor. why you need use outdoor cable for indoor device. too rich?

yes, can setup hypp tv.. u using tm right. since tm using vlan tagging, i think it will works.. never try personally using hyppTv. i might request for decoder for hypptv from tm to try it out.. only hypptv i cant guarantee but for others, yes. no issue. even using OHANA ISP as well... running quad load balancing with no issue... with 3 different ISP.

AC lite is 25% smaller than the standard UniFi AP with range 122m (400 ft). but of course, concrete and brick house is the real obstacle. normally, if thick wall and want to save cost, AC LR will be the best option.

do you running some kind of hostel? i will ask my friend to you. if you want proper quote, pm me your name, hp num and address. I just running some this subs forum and discussion, for sales / quotation, i just helping her

its directly import from US. so, they are not 3rd party. kinda master reseller i think

1. I running Cat6 for HDMI so might as well use the same for the new cables

2. so better to use AC LR

3. this is for a house lar, not hostel, but it is a three generation house so plenty of users, plenty of devices, so many streaming and what not, I want it to be reliable, and fast!

they tell me.



cat6 for hdmi... ohh.. ok....

Hi Bro... I'm planning to use this kind of setup for gaming / etc...

01.Router Z (192.168.1.1) connected to 1 ubiquiti AP (LBE-5ac-16-120)
02.1 Ubiquiti CPE I (LBE-5AC-23) at my friend house and connected to 1 of his LAN port router (A).
03.1 Ubiquiti CPE II (LBE-5AC-23) at my other friend house and connected to 1 of his LAN port router (B).

* CPE I & II connected to ubiquiti AP
* Router A & B will have different IP / Pool ... (192.168.2.X) & (192.168.3.X)..
some question :- is it possible that people from router A & B communicate to each other and also communicate to (192.168.1.X)? ... can ubiquiti cater this kind of setup automatically via their route table?... or need to do static route via main router Z?

* Do the setup as above can be troublesome?
* Do you think the setup above expensive or it's value for money?
* How much roughly the cheapest total cost of 1 AP (LBE-5ac-16-120) & 2 (LBE-5AC-23)?

* Off Topic question, how good are the CPE tested indoor? .. example connecting 2 23dbi (ptp) across a few houses, does the wave can penatrate to few houses with straight indoor line for 300 meter and still can get good reception?.. this is a experimental question if perhaps someone / seller have done some experiment with this equipment..

P/S : Actually I'm planning budget for own cheap project with gaming friend related to networking / Streaming HD|4K & Gaming using product above...

so, your network diagram will look like as above right. good for me, no problem.

Yes, it is still possible for you to make that IP config.
I think its value for money. you had to provide internet bandwith and paid by sharing. while the hardware is one time paid instead monthly paid for the internet. as for me, its value for money.

LBE-5ac-16-120 around rm470 per unit
LBE-5AC-23 around rm360 per unit

wave penetrate the house.. then the signal slowly become weak. its better if it does not need interference... then can enjoy full speed. but even if its indoor, the alignment need to be done properly.. I'd suggest you mount it as high as possible to get clear line of sight otherwise you will face issue.


cheap project, cost more than 1k? the router you use, need to be consider as well. as long as it support big bandwith, then streaming and gaming on 4k will be not an issue.

Look Nice... May I know LBE-5AC-23 around rm360 per unit <- This 1 also can do ptp with 2 unit directly connected via bridge (80Mhz Bandwidth) Right? ... You Have this stock?

I think the price around that... I dont sell it, my friend does. Need check with him too. I just helping him open the thread only. and if any request, i will pass over to her. She order it from US directly. so, probably there is price different. Depends with current MYR rate.

yes. it can do ptp..

she still waiting new order to arrive. if you want, i can pass your message to her.

Yup I'm looking for that kind of device, it's also "awaiting stock" status from another supplier in KL (I live near KL) so I'm finding other place that currently have LBE-5AC-23 stock and have easy access for warranty... perhaps you can forward to your friend and also how fast did the stock will arrive if she have ETA is better, I also would like to know the rate if I take more than 1 device, and also need to know location of him/her shop incase him/her stock is arriving faster than other vendor.. for LBE-5ac-16-120 unit it's in stock according to another vendor with slight different in price, I'm thinking to buy in bundle so that our "Network gaming / Sharing" project Price & warranty are well suited and easier to kick-start the project when all the necessary equipment are ready and accessible...

P/S : If his/her shop are around Selangor / KL then it's better option.

its at subang jaya there. empire gallery. if you really want, then can confirm with me. because, around 10 units order only. you can check my signature. address and contact num. just that, this stock kinda hard to get and its limit this few months. quite long she wait for the stocks.

cz i need some unit for review and testing. i borrow from her as well.

Haha yeah the one in KL also sold out 30 already of that stuff.. so once the things landed have to grab hehe... btw I've just PM you on extra info I would like to know because I'm not really familiar, there are so much ubiquiti product and look alike hehe (but different speed / wave / use application) ... and another one "ETH-SP Ubiquiti Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Surge Protector" I'm not sure it's applied to all outdoor product or only power beam product... hehehe....

Perhaps u can try get extra Lyn discount with your best-friend ... hehehe

*************************************************************************************************

By the way suddenly I've think of another 1 configuration, not sure if this configuration are better in-term of performance and CPE Placing, but seems this configuration might add additional 200+ extra (this is just draft - because it's adding on additional cable $$ and CPE $$ .. hehehe

Configuration as below :-

01.Router Z (192.168.1.1) connected to 2 CPE(LBE-5AC-23) through 2 of the router GigaLAN port (CPE III & CPE IV)
02. CPE III Will point (ptp) to CPE I as Below (bandwidth 80Mhz - Full Throttle).
03.1 Ubiquiti CPE I (LBE-5AC-23) at my friend house and connected to 1 of his LAN port router (A).
04. CPE IV Will point (ptp) to CPE II as Below (bandwidth 80Mhz - Full Throttle).
05.1 Ubiquiti CPE II (LBE-5AC-23) at my other friend house and connected to 1 of his LAN port router (B).

* I think the CPE I,II,III,IV will have their own static IP same subnet IP range as Router Z (192.168.1.X)
* Router A & B will have different IP / Pool ... (192.168.2.X) & (192.168.3.X)..

P/S: Not Sure if this configuration will need more setting / static routing ... because from router A to router B will have to go through CPE Static IP .. Scenario From "Router A to Router B" the path will have to route like this ...
(CPE I -> CPE III -> Router (Z) -> CPE IV -> CPE II) ... but from the throughput seems faster (in-theory) as dedicated bridge (80Mhz) and dedicated Gigabit Ethernet for both that connected to Router (Z)... but extra $$$ and maintenance as both pair should be configured & tuned ... not sure if Router A & router B static route table need to be be alter much... I guess Router Z is the one that need to do all that routing static Ip metric job... Just Theory.. hihihi....

by the way do you think the CPE need to be configure it's static route from router A.. to Router Z?

1. Regarding subnet, if you need everyone to see each other, better put everyone within the same subnet. Your router Z will be the only DHCP server in the network. You won't exhaust all the IPs. All AP and CPE should have static IP.

2. To answer which setup provide best performance and value i need to know a few things:
- Do both of your friend houses located within 120º from your house?
- Do you have line of sight of both houses?
- How much throughput would you think is good enough for your network?

If the floor is too big, it's much better to use 2 AP than 1 LR AP.

I see... that Interesting, if let say the people from Router A or Router B wanna have their mix internet connection, for example 1 of my friend already subscribe / use screamyx(with phone bundle) and with this project(because only he's sharing the cost in that house), so he wanted to know if his network (let say router B) wanna have his own DHCP supplying the router own IP address (perhaps same or different subnet).. but only his (laptop/desktop/handphone/xbox/ps4) have static IP that pointing to Router Z directly... so that his screamyx still there serving other in his house... and the house will only use single router... only he know that he is routing his packet towards ubiquiti CPE II -> CPE IV -> Router Z...

I'm not sure if the above scenario can be apply with ubiquiti AP + CPE (option to block DHCP spill over) ... maybe Router Z need to maintain static route of both destination / DHCP of some sort... ... quite challenging to think of the scenario ....

Btw all router in hand currently are Aztech FG7008GR(AC),tp-dlink,d-link.. I read somewhere that OSPF are very good for mapping route dynamically, but I think I read that "OSPF option" not available on ubiquiti "router line".. is it correct?... I try to avoid using software router (pfsense) using mini-its intel J3060 (6W) .. hehe on paper it might have many router functionality matching enterprise router, try to avoid extra cost there...

Btw based on your question.. : I guess both of my friend located around the 120º area just that their distance are different (perhaps around range 100º - 110º).. quite at the edge of sector antenna beam angle.. need to fine-tune AP for nice signal coverage... hehe, my current target are can be able to play game... shared file.. and also "4K streaming" .. "4K streaming" might tax the network a lot... but not sure how practical.. because all of us will have our own shared file location on each router, we just shared our FTP / shared folder to each other... hehehe

for both house it's not so line of sight ... means I know the location of their house are.. but perhaps 2 - 3 obstacle before the signal reach them .. btw their house are less than 1 KM from mine..

u don't need ospf. ur network too small. waste processor usage only.

static route is enough

Without line of sight, closing to 1km distance, I think it's nearly impossible. When you say 1 or 2 obstacles, is it a tree or a building?

4k streaming can be 5mbps can be 20mbps. If got line of sight I think can achieve 100+mbps.

Currently I'm using a pair of nanobeam ac at 200meter line of sight. It max and quite stable at 350mbps.

You don't have to worry about existing streamyx, let others use that wifi and let your friend use your network on another AP(using existing in hand routers) . No need to complicate stuff.

Noted thanks eastherd, may I know if static route can be use on all kind of router? I means, not many router that have many options.. not sure if static route are standard function, because I think static route need to be maintain on all router that have different subnet so that they can talk to each other right.

static route is the basic routing function. Let say default route should be pointed to TM/TIME/Maxis router. That is static routing.

OSPF is more into dynamic routing.
More suitable in enterprise when u have multi path links. If can forward traffics base on best path can failover.

If you have only 1 path, there's no point using dynamic routing.
