@WrCombs Thanks!

Does anyone know where there is stock of the Ubiquiti Edge Router 4? I have checked so many places and they are all out of stock, back ordered until July/August.

Is there a comparable brand/model that we would recommend as an alternative to the ER-4?

What do you use for the modem and service for 4G? I want to get T-mobile 5G, but it is not available in my area. So I have to go with 4G T-mobile with a data cap. So now, I have also setup outdoing firewall rules to block the non-essential devices from going out that failover connection.

Just setup a 4G failover connection on my ER-4 at my office. The auto failover/watchdog capabilities built into the EdgeOS is pretty slick!

@adamf If you get it be sure to bench test before deployment. It took a bit to get the timers set up such that the unit would NOT keep power cycling if no Internet (in case the carrier has a legit outage or needs to service the unit). I dont remember the exact setting but I had to set it for only 2 cycles and I think a 24 hour expiration.

Good to know. Thanks!

@pete-s thanks, I was just looking at that one before you sent it.

I would also do that, but have other requirements that require us to use the Comcast provided modem.

It is what it is. Unfortunately I don't know any products that does what you want.

I would want to have some control over the automatic reboot process though and would be reluctant to have another consumer grade gadget controlling it.

If I had the choice I would go for a standard PDU that can switch outlets on/off and run a script on some server controlling when to power cycle the modem. Have it write some log files and such.

Exactly. I’m looking for something pro grade. Not consumer grade.

Doesn't sound like a great solution to a problem.

Have you ruled out problems with the actual modem, it's power supply, high ambient temperature, main power fluctuations and such?

Or tried replacing the modem with something higher grade - if that is a possibility?

Yes.

Had the modem replaced twice already. Power is fine, environment is also fine. It’s just Comcast in my area.

That's good. But even if Comcast goes down temporarily, it's odd that the modem doesn't establish the link automatically again.

Agreed. If I had other GOOD options, I would switch ISPs. But for now , oh well.

My office has Comcast business (cable). About twice a month, we lose Internet and the only way to fix it is to just reboot the Comcast modem. Anyone have any recommendations for a smart outlet / pdu that will power cycle and outlet on loss of connectivity? There are a ton of them out there.

And never mind. This morning, all is working again. Weird.

Is anyone having Zerotier connectivity issues right now? I suddenly can't ping or connect to any device at any location. (from multiple locations)

@scottalanmiller The specific model I was looking for is out of stock everywhere. (UBI-UAP-AC-LR-US) However, I just found a WiFi 6 Lite
that could work.

I have the first AP in a large building, and it doesn't quite cover to the far corners of the building. I am looking to get another AP in place. Those 2 models should work together, right?

I would never use LR model to make "better" coverage. Just because the AP can send signal farther, does not mean the device on the other side can send back from that distance.

Very valid point. Which is likely why they are running into this issue.

@scottalanmiller Did you order direct from UI, or another supplier?

Remembering the good ol' days, where I could get a single freggin WIFI access point with a click of a button.

Makes no sense. I have a feeling that something is buggy in the firmware.

What makes no sense is that you think it is firmware.

Just throwing out ideas because it doesn't make logical sense to me. Any thoughts as to what else it could be? Why would the device reply to pings for an hour after reboot, then suddenly stop?

@jaredbusch I have a weird issue where I can ping the external interface IP from my home successfully... For like an hour. But then the pings suddenly drop The device is still online, but no ping replies at home.

BUT

From my office IP, I can continuously ping to the same device. Even when my pings from my home randomly stop. Makes no sense. I have a feeling that something is buggy in the firmware.
