Counterpoint, if your internet is down, being able to change your SSID on your AP isn’t what your focus should be on. Not sure I understand the rest. Connection to a third party is what the internet is. Unless you are trying to build an isolated network.

There are certain kinds of cloud-managed AP that will just stop the network from being broadcast at all if it loses contact with the cloud service, taking all local networking access away from you as well. Definitely spent around a week of increasingly angry calls from a business customer who had APs like that while literally no one else was having issues and it "resolved itself" without us doing anything at all. loving piece of trash Shugojin fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Dec 22, 2023 |

Ubiquiti had the gateway lite in stock this week for a few hours, just long enough for me to think about picking it up before yanking it back out of stock. S’okay, I think I want to spent the $20 more for the one with an AP built in… if they ever make more.

I might have figured this out. I need to do more testing to confirm but I am cautiously optimistic for now. Turns out, it was a Verizon problem. I found a thread on Reddit from September of this year when people started getting the gateway firmware version that I'm on now. It sounds like it completely broke both DMZ and IP Passthrough mode and the symptoms are exactly like what I am experiencing. Luckily, another Ubiquiti user was who figured this out and the fix required changing their MTU/MSS settings. I SSH'ed into the USG, changed those, and ran some tests. Everything that wasn't working before, is working now. The only thing remaining to test is Rouvy (an indoor cycling app that I use), which I'll test tomorrow as I've already destroyed my legs with two indoor workouts today.

Supposedly it was "a tiny subset" who could access another "tiny subsets" streams. This either implies that they aren't doing per-user end-to-end encryption (and if so, why not, as there's no real impediment to scaling it out), or it implies that the only thing preventing anyone from seeing anyone elses data is that nobody at Ubiquiti push a configuration error.

And if anyone ever makes it work what a waste of effort given it actually does work in ip6. Since it was designed from the start to include it as a feature, not just some random "gently caress it" address.

The Internet of poo poo is slowly taking over my home network and I’d really like to separate it from the rest. I’m running UniFi APs and an EdgeRouter X SFP. Wasn’t there some easy way to present a separate ssid to iot devices and separate them from the rest?

I dunno about the edge router specifically but yea, you set up a separate SSID, associate it with a separate VLAN, and then set up a routing rule so that the new IoT vlan can't talk to the other VLANs.

You can create a VLAN and then create a private pre shared key (PPSK) on your AP that goes to that VLAN. This allows you to keep one SSID but each device goes to a different VLAN depending on the password it uses. I am actually going to try and set this up this weekend.

I did the iot ssid and vlan thing before I replaced my ER-X with a UXG-Pro. You just have to do it twice, once in unifi and once in edgeos. Haven't ever tried the single ssid with psk though, that sounds interesting if it's not a lot of work?

I have no desire to go update SSIDs and passwords on a bunch of iot crap. The least annoying solution seems to be make a second ssid move things like phones and computers over to that then start locking doors the original?

I was looking into this because it sounds great. Downside is that it doesn't work with wpa3, at least from what I've read. I suppose not an additional risk really if your in wpa2/wpa3 mode like I am because the weakest link is what matters.

Hello thread! Can I get some recommendations for a modem and router? This is for my apartment internet. I plan on doing a decent amount of gaming, streaming, downloading, etc. I'm looking to get something relatively top of the line, that'll last me for a few years. I have a temporary modem and router for now, but I'd like permanently upgrade to some nicer stuff. Unfortunately, PC Part Picker doesn't have a modem/router section to peruse. Thanks!

Isn't bufferbloat still a huge issue on every single CPE device? I've yet to hear about any of them implementing SQM with PIE or CAKE, and they all use big buffers to try and achieve the speeds they advertise. BlankSystemDaemon fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Jan 5, 2024 |

I know Mikrotik has an implementation in ROS 7.something+ that works pretty well. Re general consumer stuff though, I think they're mostly banking on total speed of package >>> reasonable use meaning bufferbloat won't come up. e: It's pretty chonky on resources though, the RB4011 (which is getting a bit old to be honest) doesn't seem to want to push gig on my connection with any CAKE running, I end up limited to around 800-850mbps instead of the raw 950ish. Which isn't awful and I get this free from my employer so lol it's fine Shugojin fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Jan 5, 2024 |

Re general consumer stuff though, I think they're mostly banking on total speed of package >>> reasonable use meaning bufferbloat won't come up. Interestingly, Kristof Provost has finished his project to disentangle dummynet from ipfw in FreeBSD, so that pf (and any other firewall using netpfil) can also use it. I assume it's eventually going to be available in some of the FreeBSD appliance OS' - but have no idea when. EDIT: For anyone who isn't familiar, dummynet lets you configure either packet scheduling (1), and it also lets you probabilistically delay or drop packets (2). It's also pretty drat fast and can easily handle 20/20Gbps bidirectionally. 1: Either SQM via CoDeL/PIE, or WF2Q+/RR/QFQ - the latter two are exceptionally fast with an O(1) upper bound at around 250ns/packet 2: Quite useful if you're emulating links when doing network simulation to test out new internet protocols, or if you want to ensure that only a sample size of every packet on your network gets sent to a mirror port where Suricata/Snort is listening.

I was getting annoyed because I was paying for symmetric 1 Gbps up/down recently and getting nowhere near the speeds and then realized the modem I had is maxed out at 300-400 mbps. I have a Motorola MB7621 which is after some research is clearly outdated. Should I upgrade to the Arris S33 or Arris SURFboard SB8200 modem or is there a current forums favorite?

Edit: Anyway OP, if you're on a D4 system and can actually subscribe to symmetric 1Gbps then you should get a modem certified by your ISP to get the speeds you're paying for. Those Arris ones are D3.1 and neither is even activated for mid-split upload speeds (100-200Mbps) on Comcast, so you definitely wouldn't get symmetric 1Gbps out of them. A cursory search says there aren't any retail D4 modems available yet. SamDabbers fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jan 6, 2024 |

At&t fiber skipped my side of the street for no discernable reason so I'm stuck with crazy asymmetrical 300/10 speeds from spectrum. I'd give up 100 down for 10 more up. It's loving brutal. The worst part is I pay them the same for that as AT&T charges for symmetrical gigabit service.  I hope Spectrum offers some symmetrical plans for a reasonable price. I'd jump on them.

Good lord what a day of home network bullshit. I wanted to install a camera and AP in my garage so I bought a U6 Pro and G5 flex camera from ubiquity and a MOCA setup from screenbeam because I only have coax running through the garage. It was gonna be great, Id use my ancient unmanaged switch and the two UI POE injectors i had from before I got a L2 POE switch. The MOCA install was pretty straightforward once I figured out where the MOCA filter needed to go but I could not get the new camera or AP to power up. I was checking patch cables, power cables, the injectors themselves. Nothing worked. I tried plugging them into the new switch and they got recognized immediately, WTF. Randomly I tried my old AC LR ap out in the garage and it booted up immediately. The old flex camera worked too. So the old stuff is out there now and the new stuff is in my office. Hours banging my head on this poo poo and I'm still not sure what the deal is but at least now I have eyes and wifi in the dang garage. What a dumb idea that was IDK why I even bothered

IIRC the U6 Pro uses a much higher voltage than the UAP-LR did so it's likely that you just didn't have the right POE injector

Yeah, there was a crossover period during the AC generation where some models/versions of Unifi APs supported both passive 24V and standard negotiated 48V - I think I have an AC Pro and an AC Lite which are both able to do either. I believe that the AX generation is all negotiated 48V. You can still use the old injectors to run small Mikrotik boxes if you have any.

Are there any consumer routers to avoid? Or brands? My current TP-Link AC router is gradually failing, so I need to replace it, but I keep bouncing off the research I feel I should do. Really looking at ASUS, Netgear, and Linksys - I've kind of soured on TP-Link at this point. I'm not above getting another TP-Link if they're all about the same, though. One thing I'd really rather avoid is having a requirement to use a proprietary phone app to manage the device - just let me log in from a web browser, goddamnit.

Anything sub-$20 is probably not a good idea, they're usually very low on memory and thus can be overloaded by a simple visit to Instagram. For some reason the "new" router from Optimum / Altice is similarly underpowered, idk so weird as in New England their competitors Comcast (for business) and Verizon ship pretty ok hardware.
