@mike-davis said in Unifi Time Schedule:

Ah, maybe the best approach would be to have two SSIDs. One on a schedule and one on all the time. Then only allow devices you want to connect to the all on SSID.

This is what I have done in the past for myself and my friends/family. I setup a SSID for parents and then sometimes a SSID for each child. That way the parent can turn off the internet for one child and not bother the other children. Of course I always think that the punishment imposed by the children on other children for everyone losing internet because of the actions for one is a great way to get them to behave.

I'm hosting my unifi controller on vultr and I didn't have to make any port changes that I remember.

So you didn't open any of those ports I listed?

You do not normally need them.

What don't you normally need them? 8080 and 8443 at a minimum correct?

Correct.

But I opened the 8880 and 8843 for HTTP and HTTPS for Guest Hotspot portal. Usually not needed for others but in this case it was needed.

With regards to STUN though, you believe is not needed then?

Should not be as your controller is not behind NAT. There is not point to STUN unless NAT is involved.

How can it mark your post as the solution?

Tell @scottalanmiller to do it because that is a glaring whole in this plugin. Has been reported, but unactioned for years now.

Hey @scottalanmiller can you mark Jared's post with Wikipedia on it for the solution. I cannot for the life of me mark it as a solution.

@tdantzler said in Yet another UBNT EdgeMax vs Unifi:

@JaredBusch I'm looking at the AirMAX lineup and have used a few of the products like the NanoStation 5AC loco with fabulous results.. but the rest of the stuff looks a little more than consumer grade. Do you think this is an accurate breakdown -

Unifi - Small to Medium business with low customization needs. Primarily for Access Layer and down. Nice interface but not standard for routing setup

UniFi routers and switches, yes. UniFi Access Points, are solid for any purpose.

Also, I would personally never use UniFi routing/switching in SMB. But I know some people just live that pretty pane of glass that they never look at after 3 weeks.

Bother, phone didn't cooperate with those then 😐

You have to have a topic selected prior to adding tags to make them stick.

Easy for me to miss on the small screen 😞

So I got the Unifi Controller working with the same nginx config as the UNMS. Thanks again @JaredBusch

Now how do I get my AP connected to the controller?

Take a look at this
https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/204909754-UniFi-Layer-3-methods-for-UAP-adoption-and-management#Section_5

DHCP option 43 - JB and I were just talking about what option was needed for a non UBNT firewall network to provide that to the APs..
thanks.

@Dashrender said in Unifi switch - tagged traffic issues:

Found the problem - the uplink from my Unifi to my core switch, VLAN 2 wasn't allowed on the connection.

Enabled VLAN2, problem solved.

Aww the little things.

on which switch.

Also, reinforcing the issue with VLAN complicating things.

The core switch, in my case an HP 2824.

I don't disagree that VLANs can/do add complication. But in this case it was pre-existing complication that I had to work through, not remove at this point.

@Breffni-Potter exactly. There is a clear market for this, why is there any question why they provide a product where there is demand?

@JaredBusch said in Unifi - Migrate AP between controllers:

@DustinB3403 said in Unifi - Migrate AP between controllers:

@JaredBusch Yeah my question is odd, just was trying to determine what would be a reason for installing a new controller.

It is an odd line of thinking, I know.

I want to install a new controller, you just install the same version as existing, make a backup, restore backup, change DNS. done.

I have done it more than one time over the years.

This assumes you have a DNS server on your network that you control. If you have no local DNS server, this is a non issue, the AP will find the controller based on broadcast.

@brianlittlejohn said in Unifi AP refusing to upgrade:

Did yall notice that the new update has the ability to export and import individual sites instead of the entire config?

didn't JB post about that a week or so ago?

Nope.

I must have just read it in a released then.

I heard back from them. They aren't sending anything unless I actually experience a problem.

@Dashrender said in Unifi switch SFP fiber connections:

Now I'm going to put my original SFPs back in place and see if those work.

Swapped and it's working great.

I can now say that 10Gtek stuff is compatible with Unifi Switches.

Not sure this really matters anymore since Ubiquiti now sells their own branded SFPs and they are very reasonably priced.

@hobbit666 said in Unifi Switch adventures:

So what is the difference between the Unifi Switch and EdgeSwitch? Apart from the management from the Unifi Controller ?

There isn't suppose to be much difference. Beyond that, I really can't tell you.

@dafyre said in UniFi controller will not start after upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04.01:

Win!

If I had realized that stable was not 5.0.X, I would have not changed to stable. Likely saving myself some steps.

@Brains Glad you got squared away

Don't ask me.. it's what he told me - so I just walked away and really didn't put any more thought into it.

But his thought was that you can't acquire the AP over wireless.

He has a greenfield setup.

But in thinking more about it... he's going to have to plug into the network no matter what for at least the first AP. After that he should be fine all wireless.

Ah very possible - Yea,.. I have a Samsung for the WiFi Analyzer as well. Wished there was on on the iOS but that is more on Apple than developers. Apple doesn't allow access to the network Stack ( last I heard).

I used to have a great one on iOs until Apple blocked access.

That was infuriating to me. One of the reasons I switched to Android 4 phones ago.

@Dashrender said:

If they are all on the same controller, why does rebooting affect the others? Isn't the controller suppose to managing that?

The point of auto is to have the AP detect what channels are in use around it and pick the best one. That will obviously be different each time any AP reboots. When the first one reboots, it will immediately affect the ones next to it as the signal drops and the unit around it detect a difference. Then once it powers back on, it has to detect what is around it and then determine what channel to use.

High density deployments are much different beasts than an office building with 3 or 4 AP scattered around for coverage.

Connected again after defaulting the NVR again.

I have the cameras 'adopted' but they are showing disconnected still....

@johnhooks said:

@JasonNM @JaredBusch I wasn't saying I had one or wanted one. I just wondered how the new AP's compared to the old ones in terms of range.

Range is just important to consider in different context. The range of the AP isn't the same as the useful range, which is determined by the AP, the client and the environment together.
