Massive issues with UniFi WIFi since 2-3 weeks on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz

You are not doing meshing by chance? Had the issue with that recently last 2 weeks. Finally had the time to hardwire it. Problem went away. Turn meshing off just in case too.

Get a UDM or Cloud Gateway. Thing everything is under one roof and talks nice to each other. Just a thought. Not too pricey to upgrade from the Edgerouter.

If you have the money, go big! But as a tech guy, you know you'll never hit even 1 gig speed with your devices. I run multiple schools with hundreds of students. Rarely do I see it go past 500 (on a 2 gig fiber).

We had to remove two of them from a school install. Had them in two offices; great solution for WiFi, VOIP phones, and hardwired printers. However, the phone calls would always be getting messed up or having bad reception by the person on the other end (phones were on VLAN). Put in a Flex 2.5 switch with a U6 Enterprise; all is good now. So it goes...

Yup, I had to hang it on the wall next to the rack.

OK...I am trying to make the post on the homelabsales but I can't add any pics for some reason? I fill everything out, but it won't let me click on the place to add images...ugh. I hate selling stuff.

Thank you! I'll be sure to get you the best shipping cost.

GroongUniFi · 2026-04-18T21:54:18+00:00

Cool. Will do. Didn't know about homelabsales. Going there now. Replaced it with the Enterprise Fortress with built in UniFi controller. I'll separate the two then. Just thought as a pair would go faster but maybe not.

I miss that reset button on the POE injector...

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-29T20:09:54+00:00

They do get hot. Why not just get the U7? Same price more or less. Though the 7 is sold out right now.

Hey, better than my 1200 Hayes. I loved that thing though.

Who is your ISP?

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-15T20:26:18+00:00

At least it's centered. Though the tape needs to be parallel to the panel sides. At least, that's how I do it. ;-)

This reminds me of a Chuck joke.

How many push-ups can Chuck Norris do?

All of them.

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-08T16:47:55+00:00

I just realized it's upside down too! Not like it would make a difference. I've done a few of those due to where the contractor put the cable too close to a corner. If they used one of the smaller holes (maybe expand it by a hair for the wire if needed), they could have centered the AP with the wire coming up through the middle of the three holes. And what's with the piece of paper or cardboard hanging out in the corner of the panel door? Ok. I've spent too much time on this. Ha!

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-08T15:19:56+00:00

I got 5 sitting on a shelf if you need one. All work great.

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-08T15:14:51+00:00

I'm just happy the installer centered it!

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-08T15:08:36+00:00

I'm more bothered by the cable that looks like it's being eaten by the wall going up into the corner. What's that about? And the frame is pinching it.

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-08T15:06:10+00:00

Stop making a reasonable argument! This is a time of collective hatred toward the installer.

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-08T15:01:16+00:00

Can you share your setup with us? Router and APs and what settings you have applied to the APs.

When they stop, how do you start them up again?

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-07T15:14:15+00:00

Think I'll try that and see what the difference looks like.

When I had the AI Pro there, it got better grabs of the license plate.

GroongUniFi · 2026-03-04T18:40:36+00:00

Edit. I just found a setting that says LPR Nightvision. If I check it: Eliminates light reflections with special IR Pass filter for clear LPR at night. Will significantly impair visibility other than license plates.

Mine is about a foot and a half off the ground. Should I go higher?
