The official Ubiquiti Devices Q&A Thread

I’ve tried and failed to justify 10G and can’t find any use cases applicable to me in the near term. 2.5G maybe!!! But even that is a stretch for NAS backups or to get full use of the XG range of APs

How do you handle IoT on your networks? Recently got an Xiaomi robot vacuum and that thing is insanely needy. Its on its own VLAN, and its zone in the policy engine is blocked from everything except Internet. Just think I should block some of its Internet as well. It already has the default NextDNS rules however here is an example of perhaps unnecessary traffic happening every minute

My pretty picture is not 10G as thats only from my NAS and gateway to the switch on fibre, but like the new infrastructure view

You can have a look if your robot is supported on Valetudo, then you can cut it from the cloud.

After reading about the video footage from the vacuums being shared online, I was happy I made the switch years ago... (https://www.technologyreview.com/20...rtificial-intelligence-training-data-privacy/)

Which one would you get? There have been some disgruntled murmurings about the Unas2 and 4 being underpowered leading to some disconnections under sustained transfers

Bought a UNAS 2 for my son, backed about 4~5TB up from my UNAS Pro, and it worked really well. How long did it take I have no idea as I left it overnight. Its a simple device worth the money, but am sure the software can be improved

Having said that I wouldnt buy a UNAS 4 as its about 80% of the price of the UNAS Pro. Unless of course you need that desktop and more capacity than the UNAS 2.

When all the new UNAS were launched I compared against my 1st Gen, expecting they would be better. Maybe I could buy the UNAS 4 Pro with bigger drives, but was surprised how well my old one compares. So IMO

UNAS 2 good value, UNAS 4 not for me, UNAS Pro 4 good but how about 7 drives, UNAS Pro still my sweet spot, UNAS Pro 8 do you really need this over the UNAS Pro for the cost

Had the weirdest issue today - still troubleshooting

Spent the morning doing some firewall and infrastructure changes (new vlans, etc) and all was working well. At about 12:20 there was a notification for an update (OS - 5.1.11 and Network 10.3.58) - i actually had ignored it for most of this week - i then clicked to upgrade and normally these things go without a hitch. Gateway comes back up but ive lost WAN on my Websquad (its still down) and i had no DNS on any interface out of the UCG

Needless to say that i ended up with a broken network for most of the day and only managed to reload the backup at about 7pm tonight. Everything seems to be working well again BUT my Websquad connection is showing as offline and forcing a failover does not seem to work

Edit: All seems sorted now - i think the update wiped my PPPOE credentials on both interfaces - bizarre. Then when i was recapturing i entered the old ones - so of course nothing would work. FML

Single WAN so perhaps not applicable but do manual updates on EA, not RC. Lost DoH DNS NextDNS recently and had to reenter. Had the network app take almost an hour start up recently on an update. Have never lost PPPoE details, but again single interface

Had protect playback problems recently but changed a camera so not sure if I was the issue. All were sorted with a bit of pain

My son is on a UDM while I am on a UCG and has no issue on EA so not sure if it's config or hardware. He has no DoH, but again single WAN, however he is also DHCP not PPPoE

So move to Stellenbosch, study, and get dad to pay for frogfoot and a UDM
 
Firstshop had an Aggregation switch available for a steal, been contemplating getting one but 2.5Gbps seemed good enough for my server. Go it installed now and ye, this is much better 🤤
