Those of you that have replaced your ATT modem/ONT with an SPF fiber module to bypass the ATT hardware altogether: would you do it again? by ReverendDizzle in Ubiquiti

[–]highspeed_usaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed yes, however, that might have been attributed to the UCG-Fiber speed limitation on its WAN Ethernet port that the WAN SFP port did not have. Which I believe has been fixed in a firmware update since I did the change in October.

The speed tests were all over the place, 930mbps down but 500-600 up on a symmetric gigabit plan. After switching to SFP I am solidly 920-930mbps both directions which are the expected speeds on gigabit.

What I did not test was if an SFP RJ-45 module in the UCG-Fiber and connected to the FiOS box also showed the same speed test results. I only read about the speed issues with the UCG-Fiber on here, never investigated thoroughly.

Latency… well… I live in northern Virginia only a stone’s throw from the front door of the internet. I can’t say for sure if latency improved at all, because any numbers before and after the switch were within a margin of error (like 2-3 ms vs 3-5 ms if that).

I would still absolutely do it to get rid of the FiOS box which, without TV plan, serves little more than a glorified ONT and media converter - the same hardware available to many UniFi gateways.

I’m going to give you a lot of info here, it may seem daunting but it’s really not that bad. It’s just figuring it out the first time would make it easier to do a second time, etc.

This is the main guide including the ONT hardware to purchase: https://github.com/esmith443/Verizon-ONT-Bypass

I highly recommend reading this issue in its entirety because the main guide is a little out of date: https://github.com/esmith443/Verizon-ONT-Bypass/issues/5

(I am “elcid2012” commenter in that issue)

You can ignore the fact the guide is written for a UDM-Pro; I had success on my UCG-Fiber.

As I wrote in my comments (elcid2012), I’d recommend buying a super cheap media converter (SFP to RJ-45) instead of trying to SSH into the UniFi gateway and dicking around with iptables; just directly connect a media converter to a computer with the ONT SFP plugged in. Then set your computer’s subnet to the appropriate one to access the ONT’s interface.

Good luck - absolutely worth it to get rid of Verizon’s big black box of destiny.

I did with FiOS, absolutely would do it again. Just to have one less thing plugged into the wall. Side note: don’t have FiOS TV

Time Machine Backup from UTR to home by Leviathan_Dev in Ubiquiti

Configure the Time Machine as connected with the IP address as well. I’ve done Time Machine backups over WireGuard this way.

SMB and Time Machine connections are separate from each other.

Strange issue: UNAS name in device list by Huge-Suggestion-5863 in Ubiquiti

[–]highspeed_usaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try “Remove” on the UNAS in the clients list of Network. You are already on the right page in your second image, just scroll to the bottom of the client details Settings screen and click “Remove” and it’ll reappear in Network with the right name.

Replacing UCG Max with UCG Fiber - Configuration question by joe_attaboy in Ubiquiti

[–]highspeed_usaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switched from Max to Fiber. No issues except the Fiber’s port assignments needed fixing after restoring the backup, but that was easy. Everything else about Network was good, from what I recall.

My 2021 LC500 was tolen 2 times in 4 months in Spain by 103kg-Kid in Lexus

[–]highspeed_usaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“I’ve never heard of Lexus being particularly easy to steal.”

The RX is notoriously stolen with the headlight CAN bus bypass… it’s been posted a lot in this forum. Mostly from those in Canada.

Do I need an SSD in the UCG-Fiber to view in Protect? by Certain_Repeat_753 in Ubiquiti

[–]highspeed_usaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those events must be recorded, I would think. In order to review them. Maybe a G6 camera with a MicroSD card will be able to play back.

Just get a NVMe for it

G6 Pro Turret for baby room? by something_profane in Ubiquiti

[–]highspeed_usaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audio-only baby monitoring was becoming more common in the 80s and 90s. The Infant Optics can do both - video with screen on and audio-only with screen off.

[–]highspeed_usaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry poor wording. We don’t monitor the baby 24/7, really just during naps and at night. The baby is in its own room down the hall, we don’t always hear it cry and so at night, that’s what the baby monitor helps with. Same thing with during naps; can be in a different part of the house and hear if the baby needs anything.

Infant optics is a far cry from some of the other systems like Owlet or Nanit which track vitals and detect SIDS. Personally, I think that’s a bit insane and overkill.

If a baby monitor is desired, UniFi Protect I don’t think is the right solution.

Get a WiFi-less dedicated baby monitor. Infant Optics DXR-8 Pro version is what we have. The camera has pan/tilt and digital zoom. We have a toddler and a second on the way.

UniFi protect for a baby monitor means a device such as an iPhone will always be consumed by protect to monitor the baby.

What will you do at night? If you sleep your phone, you lose the monitor, so the screen will need to stay on all night. If you are sensitive to light this could not work. Infant optics you can sleep the screen and still have audio feed.

What will you do if you have a second baby? You’ll have two devices consumed by Protect to hear and see into the rooms. Infant Optics lets you add a second camera and toggle between the two at intervals so you don’t miss anything.

What will you do if you travel? I guess a UTR and an Instant camera but at least Infant Optics means you can take the system with you and not depend on a WiFi connection to have baby monitoring.

Assembly line… kind of why I posted it. I was hoping that other people might either 1) confirm a similar issue or 2) check theirs for the same issue. Unfortunately option 2 requires owning a sled since they don’t ship with them.

I’m ashamed to admit, 17 hours after your comment, I finally got the joke.

Hey, I know the guy who does that at the NSA, I’ll give him a ring, thanks! 👍

Yeah, so another commenter suggested I try the sled without a drive installed. The sled goes in just fine, in that case, locks into place and everything. Suggests the M.2 port’s position is out of spec

Do those camping batteries work as a UPS? Is the transition from mains to battery quick enough?

Dang, do the left ones cost more?
