The Slack Lagoon posted:I've tried a different router port, and even a different computer on Ethernet and same issue, but not on wifi. I tried my own router and speeds through the Ethernet was fine. My assumption about the M-lab one is you did them back to back. So the M-lab one failed because it was last in the chain, and you got passed the burst. Or M-lab uses a larger sustained upload test which would trigger the issue. Considering the troubleshooting you did above, the router is the last point of failure outside of Verizon’s default config. Get the router replacement, and if it continues call again and ask for a higher level tech support.

Still doesn't change that their products are more geared towards looking/being like Apple than usability. * UDM (the suppository-looking thing) didn't allow you to even so much as use it as a dumb switch without an internet connection to log into a cloud account on initial setup. I'm still not sure you can, they promised they'd fix that and then went silent. * Shipping 6E APs that DON'T have at least 2.5GbE ports. What's the point of having an AP that is capable of pushing two one-gigabit wireless streams, if you... can't push two times one-gigabits back over the wire? * Killing off the utilitarian Edge line in favor of the white bullshit. * The bullshit with their abrupt and unceremonious 6-month EoLing of Unifi-Video products. Who cares if you JUST installed a brand new Unifi-Video system yesterday! Six months before it gets EoLed! And if I remember correctly, six months before your recordings become COMPLETELY UNACCESSIBLE, with no provisions for continuing to use it unsupported afterwards. Not least of which so they could move you all onto their new and shiny and 100% not-backwards-compatible cloud Unifi Security platform! https://community.ui.com/questions/UniFi-Video-Products-End-of-Life-Announcement/dc529d39-0e58-43cc-96f0-8f0eed0d002c And that's before they had their own actual, admitted data breach: https://community.ui.com/questions/Account-Notification/96467115-49b5-4dd6-9517-f8cdbf6906f3 None of which has ANYTHING to do with Krebs's reporting.

I gave up on ubiquity for routing with my er-4, sure it will route at 1Gb but it can only traffic shape at 350Mb. Plus there has been very little firmware updates, wireguard should be mainline by now.

I just know for my AC-Lite at home I was about to setup a unifi controller docker on an rpi and eventually said gently caress it and flashed OpenWRT on the AC-Lite instead, and couldn't be happier. Would recommend for anybody who's only running a couple access points and doesn't need the whole unifi 'ecosystem'.

I wish I had the money to play around with TP-Links Omada series of routers, switches, and access points - I keep hearing good things about it, to the point that it seems to be what Ubiquiti used to be. Case in point, it's centrally managed by a piece of software that can be hosted on any Unix-like (because it's Java  ) and the hardware is cheap yet lets you do a ton of stuff with it.

OpenWRT also works on the old 802.11n models which current versions of the UniFi controller aren't even willing to adopt anymore. You're pretty limited in what you can do with a single-core 400Mhz processor, a 10/100 port, and 8MB flash/64MB RAM, but the UAP-LR only uses about 3W from what I've seen so it's perfect if you just need a 2.4GHz network for some IoT stuff.

Pointless question: has anyone ever had an ethernet cable work with one device but not another? There's a 3m CAT6 run between my PC and router. I replaced the router and started having random disconnections from the network; this problem has been resolved by replacing the cable as well. Obviously a minor inconvenience but I've never seen it before.

Cables do die. Especially if it was hand made out of leftover solid-core wire (meant for permanent install) - or purchased as such. But even stranded interconnects can fail, I'd just chalk it up to a bad cable if the replacement works fine.

paul_soccer12 posted:hi should i get TP Link This is a great example of the topline bandwidth number for a lot of these devices being kinda bullshit. If you look at the description of the AC4000 you see "AC4000 tri-band WiFi delivers up to 1625 Mbps on each 5 GHz band and 750 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band". They say 'each' because this router has two 5GHz radios and can run them on two separate channels. If you have a lot of 5GHz clients, you can split them up and there won't be as much contention for airtime. But... for a single client, this doesn't do anything that a single radio wouldn't. You probably wouldn't see a performance difference between these with just a few clients. Also, repeaters/extenders/range boosters are more for scenarios where you need extra reach to get to a client far from the base station. In this case your fundamental problem is that getting a signal through a masonry wall is hard, so a repeater probably won't do a lot of good. Wibla posted:No poo poo? I need to look into this. I have one of those in the basement https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/unifi_ap It works, but note that you may need a TTL serial adapter to flash the device through the recovery process if you're running a recent release since Ubiquiti locked down the in-band update to not allow 3rd-party images. Also a random tip - if you get to the serial console and your AP spits out a bunch of gibberish instead of a usable prompt, it might be that your PoE injector is dying and causing a brownout. Ask me how I know!

Can’t believe it’s been that long since the EOL was announced but the years have been flying by. Looks like you have until Oct 31 2023 at least. The most recent precious job still had mainly 3750Gs installed. Job -2 had a handful of the WS-C3850-12X48U but we never used the mgig for anything. I miss hospital budgets. My current job budget is Unifi PoE switches (not even all Pro series) so the days of getting anything like that are gone.

paul_soccer12 posted:hi should i get TP Link I bought one of the AC4000 routers almost exactly a year ago, and it's been working well for me. What Eletriarnation said is true, and I did factor that in when I was deciding to upgrade my router. For my purposes having the two 5ghz bands has been helpful, and it has easily handled two people working from home doing video calls and such simultaneously. My ISP only gives me 400mbps, and I don't do a lot of in-home networking, so even the 750mbps on 2.4ghz is significant overkill. Also, you need to have the right hardware on the client to hit the highest 5ghz speeds - even my more recent wireless hardware can only hit 867mbps, tops. I don't think I own anything using AX yet, but have a lot of AC, so went with the AC router.

Looking for some advice on wireless solutions for my new home, which is much larger than my last and sits on some acreage (that I don't expect to cover it all, but the more the merrier as we don't have great cell service out here). Currently using an Asus 1200 AC that I bought from Newegg at least 5 years ago for less than $100. It has decent backend UI, but has clearly become the speed bottleneck of my very decent fiber connection from a local ISP. Not trying to break the bank, but I'm willing to invest in something modern that will last me a while. I've read the newest specs can support more devices which is where I feel like my current setup is falling short A mesh solution seems to make a lot of sense, I just can't seem to pinpoint the right one. I've bought enough of the google home crap that part of me feels like I should buy their stuff for compatibility, but I've also bought enough google hardware to feel like I'm going to feel incredibly frustrated with it in the long term. I've had bad experiences with TP-Link products, and a coworker strongly recommended Ubiquity as a brand but I've had a hard time pulling the trigger because I can't figure out what solutions would best work for my home. From what little I've read in this thread, it sounds like the consensus would disagree with the Ubiquity recommendation? I expect to need a central hub and 3 additional access points (I've got a 2000+ sqft home plus a shop and a barn). Might be interested in a central switch as well so I can actually have a network instead of the setup I put together whilst a poor college kid and have taken between rentals.

Can I please get a quick sanity check on the following devices: TP Link EAP610 TP Link TL-SG2216 Will be to replace a Ubiquiti UAP + POE injector. Will be hooked up to a ER-X for routing. Will those devices be OK? I assume that switch will power that AP OK?

Red_Fred posted:Can I please get a quick sanity check on the following devices: The TL-SG2216 in an end of life, non-PoE switch. Are you sure that's the model you meant? If you just need a PoE switch, you should be looking at the TL-SG105PE. Also the ER-X does PoE passthrough, so it may be able to power your UAP instead of using an injector. I've had the EAP610 since it became available at launch in March. Pros: 1) Readily available. 2) Can be configured from a web GUI. No controller required. 3) Wall AC adapter included in price. Cons: 1) This thing is MASSIVE. At least 3 times the size of a a comparable unifi switch, and it would be an eyesore if it was ceiling mounted in a house. They released a v2 two months later in May that is smaller but costs $10 more at amazon. 610v1 dimensions: 9.57 x 9.57 x 2.52 inches 610v2 dimensions: 6.3 x 6.3 x 1.32 inches 2) I've had unplug/plug it back in three times since I've got it as the unit just stopped passing traffic. Not a big deal for home use but that is pretty unreliable for an AP. Had quite a few instances when the web GUI took multiple tries to respond to https requests. 3) No DFS support on the US Firmware. Similar APs in this range support it. In my experience with the EAP610 and Unifi APs, if I were to buy something today, I'd go with the U6-Lite-US.

I know it was quite old but it has been rock solid until now I flashed it with ddwrt years ago, and even tried upgrading it to the latest patch for it (2019 from 2013, which didn't fix anything) and even factory resetting. what a lameo
