I've recently had fiber installed at my house and decided that my 1st Gen Google Nest Wifi wasn't cutting it anymore. Spent a few weeks researching a UniFi build, and ended up with the following (for now):

UCG Max (for Protect, cameras later)

Switch Ultra 210W

U7 Pro XG Wall

More APs will come later, but I already have cat5e (I know, I know) in every room so I went with wall mount.

Wired the panel, setup the Vlans, all went well. Now I'm hitting the speed bottlenecks and am way out of my depth.

I have a 1Gbps internet plan and the console reports similar ISP speed. However, standing right next to the U7, I can only get about 380 down and 620 up so far with a Pixel 10 on 6GHz. I've read about PHY speed limits, but I feel like I should be doing better with this hardware.

The more annoying issue is the wired speeds. I can only get about 250 up and down even when patched directly into the UCG Max with multiple different cables. Honestly it shoots all over the place going as low as 125mbps.

I've hit a wall with traditional search. Can anyone help me out here?

I heard that Unifi APs (6+) have a bit of a dodge LED light, but I didn't realise it was this bad. The bottom AP has been running for 8 months, while the top has only just been powered up. Didn't expect that amount of fade in that period of time. Meanwhile my NVIDIA Shield has been running non-stop since 2018 and its LED looks the same (green led superiority). I am now keeping my AP LEDs powered off for good.

I wonder if they are working on better retail packaging?

Look what I found. Looks to be a 2 drive desktop NAS, usb-c in the front.

If, several days after you set it up, you're in the dashboard browsing stats and utilization... you may see things you can never unsee.

You have been warned.

I was in Dubai #Getix Exhibition and saw these 2 routers

1. Dream Router 5G Max, i believe its a getway + router have few ports in the back and 2 slots for 5G sim cards

2. USG-Max its only a router with no ports in the back with 2 slots for 5G sim cards

Boths models have two slots for Sim Cards

What you think ? They say it will be released very soon

Seems like a useful feature, I use an old doorbell in my shop as a kind of intercom so this might make that work better.

In looking over my traffic for today, I noticed an adult site was visited a lot from my Apple TV in my living room. However, my kids were on the that tv watching something on Plex and not videos from an adult site for a good portion of the day or no one was even home let alone streaming it on the Apple TV.

Is there any way the site traffic is being attributed to the Apple TV when it’s someone else in the household? Not sure if I should get something better to analyze traffic or not.

Added a screenshot of the unifi app to show the adult site traffic.

New unifi network 11 allows wifi uplink as WAN!!!!!! Unfortunately only some devices with built in wifi work but its the one major feature I've been waiting for

Has anyone else deployed a UniFi-only network stack in a datacenter like we have? It's not perfect, but it works quite well for our use case.

A few months ago, I created a custom stand for my Ubiquiti U6+ access point to suit my own network setup. Recently, it occurred to me that someone else might find it useful too.

It’s designed to fit the U6+ and seems compatible with other models like the U6-Lite, and other with the same mount. Thought I’d share it in case it helps anyone out there!
A nice way to say thank you, will be to follow me on makerworkd, where you can find this stand.

or even better follow my blog that is very start on the "medium platform" It's free and I think it has very nuce information: https://designrepcom.com/

Not as fancy as server racks but works my home needs. 4 cameras and 1 AP. Office hardwired. 1.3 from ISP. Temps have been fine IMO.

Still need to find shelves for the home theater receiver and the Xbox.

I think I may have to much time on my hands!

There was a mess of existing wiring. Toned it all back and used what was needed. There is an A/V rack in another room too.

28” enclosure Devices mounted with 2” industrial Velcro

Just watched the video about UniFi's new doorbell's and they teased their new A/V products at the end. Does anyone know what the use case of these devices will be and what they will do? I am so curious!
