MacIch habe letzte Woche zwei alte, ausgemusterte <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UniFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UniFi</a> AP AC Pro WiFi-APs erhalten, deren ekelhaft klebrige Soft Touch-Oberflächen jede Menge Schmutz angenommen hatten. 🤢Zwei alte Stofffetzen, eine nicht unerhebliche Menge Isopropanol, moderate Muskelkraft und vielleicht 20 bis 30 min investierte Lebenszeit später und die Teile sehen besser aus als neu. 🤩<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ubiquiti</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Refurbishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Refurbishing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SecondHand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SecondHand</a>

Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧Today's WTF in Gareth's Network of Chaos.I was running my whole home LAN off a single <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ubiquiti</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/UniFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UniFi</a> Express. It worked fine, although the UI was utter dogshit. Slow as balls.I upgraded a few weeks ago to the new <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/DreamRouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DreamRouter</a> 7. Holy shit, both the upgrade (take a backup of settings from the Express and restore it onto the new one, instant success!) and the performance of the UI were amazing.Except for one thing. My Eufy doorbell wouldn't connect to the internet if I put it on my IoT VLAN (everything else that was running on that VLAN on the Express migrated to the Dream seamlessly). If I put it on the Guest network, it said it was on the Internet but I couldn't get to it via the app. I've just (while typing this) figured out that that's probably because even though I have the captive portal set to off, you do need to visit a web page and click a button the first time you join the network. I think this is dumb, but don't have enough guests for it to be a big problem.So today, just for a laugh, I reset the Express and adopted it into the Dream Router as a mesh device.And the doorbell connected to the Express on the IoT VLAN and immediately had internet connectivity again.I've set that device to only use the Express which should keep it online going forwards, but seriously, WTF?

DouglasHuh that's cool. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UnifiProtect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnifiProtect</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unifi</a> from <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ubiquiti</a> now supports 3rd party IP cams (at least for core features). That product had been a walled garden for many years.It's probably not the right fit for my use case (more than a dozen Amcrest IP cams that I do local things with, have a video display of the live feeds, and push periodic snapshots to a website) but it's cool that this is a thing now.

DouglasI'm contemplating upgrading my parents router to a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Unifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Unifi</a> Dream Router 7. The issue I'm wrestling with is I've blown up a half dozen network switches and their current router has one dead port from some mystery issue somewhere in the wired network in their house. I have not had luck tracking down the problem and finally switched as many devices to wifi as I couldMaybe some ethernet-to-fiber boxes would be useful in electrically isolating the router completely from any other ethernet devices?

Dismal Manor GangUI.COM support shop has a new automated tech that actually tries to help. Sbhe’s one for 2. Good with network, bad with voip. Replacing core switch as it has no spares. New utility line is good for edge switches. They keep cost down by limiting POE to enough for a phone, an access point, & a camera or 2. Typically 45W of 60 total from supply, now USB-C. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/UniFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UniFi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/networking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#networking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/utility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#utility</a> managed layer 2 <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/switch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#switch</a>

Michael B. JohnsonOkay, so the key suggestion was to log into my site from their web site rather than the iOS app. This let me remove it, and then re-add it fresh, which worked swell.I thought their iOS app was good (and it is!) but that web app is pretty magic... <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unifi</a>

Michael B. Johnsonre: <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unifi</a> - doing backed up build-out of network (4 day weekend - wooh!) and I've got everything on-line except for an old AP AC PRO. Was on shelf for months/years, now trying to get back in service. Plugged it in, got “Tap to Resolve" in the Unifi app, and when tapped, got:"This UniFi device is not managed by this console. To reset and adopt it with this console, hold the device's reset button for 10 seconds.”That takes me back to “Tap to Resolve".Looping…Any suggestions?

Michael B. JohnsonSo for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unifi</a> nerds out there - I bought a Flex Utility (<a href="https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/switching-utility/products/usw-flexutility" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/switching-utility/products/usw-flexutility</a>) right when they came out to solve some problems I had with cameras (wanted to replace some old Nest cameras).Finally got around to installing it today, and man oh man - what a delight. Such a satisfying piece of kit.Mounted easily, feels really secure, and am now able to run POE to a camera and three small access points at various weird locations to patch dead spots here.I ❤️ <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ubiquiti</a> so much.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:Every now and then our local birds manage to convince <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ubiquiti</a> that there’s a CO alarm going off near our shed. It doesn’t happen enough to be a bother. Rare enough that it makes me smile. Maybe once per quarter?

Michael HarleyY'all why are the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Reolink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reolink</a> cameras so much cheaper than <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Unifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Unifi</a> cameras? Would really love to play around with the Reolink cameras, especially as it relates to <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> integration.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:I picked up a Verizon home 5G thing for the Unifi Protect system at grandpa’s. Had the thing in the attic to make sure it had the best signal. It SUCKED! Somehow managed to find enough time tonight to terminate one of the long Cat 6 runs, and plug in to the fiber I had installed. So. Much. Better.<a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Unifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Unifi</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/protect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#protect</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ubiquiti</a>

Josh 🌯I wanted to create a VLAN to keep my Mastodon server separate from my LAN. Two days later, I now have 8 VLANs.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:Hardwire anything important. Especially security systems and cameras. Yes it’s a pain. But it’s worth it. Unifi isn’t perfect. But it’s surprisingly good, and keeps getting better. And the prices are fair.
