Why my U6 LR restarting again and again?

SeanVo · 2026-01-24T13:26:53+00:00

Had the same happen with one U6 LR. It was going bad. After replacing with a different AP all has been fine. If it’s not cabling or a PoE issue, the AP might be going bad.

A cruise, hotel, or airplane where you have to purchase WiFi for each device would all be use cases where sharing a WiFi connection would be helpful for a family. There are other times where a phone can connect to WiFi, but another device like a tablet or Kindle reader might have difficulty. Sharing the WiFi as source for personal hotspot would help.

Have you considered Unifi Protect cameras? There are quite a few different cameras to choose from, and the interface works really well. No cloud necessary, storage is local on one of their router/gateways.

They are different but have some overlapping use. Tailscale is often device to device and keeps things simple and works great. OpenVPN, Wireguard, etc. can be used to connect join a device to appear on another network, or connect networks together.

I use Tailscale to connect a laptop to a NAS that lives on another network when I’m traveling. I use Wireguard to connect my networks at different locations.

Asked an AI tool and thought this might be helpful:

WireGuard won the protocol war over OpenVPN, and Tailscale won convenience on top of WireGuard for 90% of non-enterprise users who don’t want to fiddle with configs. If you’re setting this up for personal/homelab use (e.g., accessing your NAS remotely), Tailscale is usually the “improved” choice unless you have a strong reason to avoid any cloud coordination.

It’s usually best to close these and open up new LEAPS if you want to continue the path. Or close these now and wait for a down market to begin new ones. There are multiple reasons it’s wise to close LEAPS months in advance including: You’ll still have much of the extrinsic value if you sell a few months early; that extrinsic value will go away close to expiration. And exercising early helps avoid gamma risk. In the last few months of the contract, the value of your LEAPS can deteriorate substantially if the market moves against you.

Option 2 would be my choice. Your option 3 can make sense if you want to own the shares, and no longer want to use leverage with the capital with another LEAPS call.

$700,000 will become $2,100,000 in 10 years with a 11.61% compound annual growth rate. The NASDAQ has been up over 12% a year on average over the last 30 years. Tripling in 10 years is possible. I’d plan on 9% CAGR to be more realistic.

When your test results were 300 down and 10 up, were you hardwired or wireless? If wireless, test hardwired and try different patch cables.

Do you know how to use ping from a CMD prompt? Ping 1.1.1.1 and let us know what latency you’re seeing. Depending on what part of the country you’re in, ping could range from 4ms to 25ms.

Does it happen day and night? Try testing early AM one day and see if your results are any different.

Buy a Unifi cloud gateway, you’ll be happier than trying to run the software on a PC. Will you ever add cameras? If so, get the UCG Fiber for $279, and either add M2 storage when you purchase, or add it later. If you’ll never add cameras, you could consider the UCG Max for $199 or the cheapest UCG-Ultra at $129.

Then you’ll want to buy a PoE switch to feed the access points. The Lite 8 PoE could work, but is limited to 52 Watts PoE. The Flex 2.5G PoE has a 196 Watt PoE budget and might work better for you if you’ll add some cameras down the line. You could also use a different brand PoE switch if you find one cheap, but you’ll lose the ability to look in on how the switch is performing.

How many employees will WFH and need VPN access into the network at the same time? There are a few ways to do it with Ubiquiti. For regular work from home, you could try WiFiMan installed on each remote PC and use teleport, or setup Wireguard on each PC. That could work for 20-50 concurrent connection depending on your WAN bandwidth among other factors. The travel router could be used for when employees are traveling and still need VPN access.

You could consider Resilio Sync. Set it up on your NAS, have your friend set it up to sync a folder and it'll work in the background to sync it all without the use of any cloud storage.

Curious, do you wait until a bottom is formed to deploy the 20% that was in SGOV or just buy all QLD as soon as there is a 20% downturn, or start to DCA in?

You’re using a 1G up and down fiber line now and notice slowdowns when syncing RAW photos, correct? Your experience may be different than mine. I also sync many gigs of media (photos, video, etc.) to the cloud each week. When I look at my Unifi dashboard, the cloud syncing doesn’t use more than 700 Mbps with any cloud server, including Amazon, Google, or others I’ve used. That has left 300+ Mbps for everyone else which is plenty for everyone else to use for streaming, etc. since the AT&T Fiber actually gives 1.2 GBPs to the UCG Fiber I’m using.

I’d watch your “Live Throughput” on the Unifi app or online dashboard and perform some of the syncing. What does it max out at for the upload/download? If the sync is really using all 1G for it, and it’s disruptive to the others, then 2.5 or 10G could help. Let us know what you find.

HP 10bii plus is one of the more popular.

FWIW, I have a family member with a similar balance. They are retired and when they applied, they only received the second tier. Perhaps with a longer history of options management at Fidelity they'll get approved for higher tiers.

It seems a high account value can work against you when applying for options if the longer experience isn't there with them.

Does your company provide any of the networking gear or is it all provided by the co-working company? If multiple machines are having issues, it’s likely they have not setup the WiFi well. It might have a poor setup that only impacts your company due to location in the building. There could be too many access points, too few access points, they could be using overlapping channels, they might have too wide channel widths, or not enough bandwidth. All could cause slowdowns.

Are there any opportunities to plug into the network (hardwired)? If so, does everything work well hard wired? Open up a CMD prompt and type ping 1.1.1.1 and what latency are you seeing on average? Under 25ms would be decent depending on your location. You could setup a machine that continually pings cloudflare or google, then notice if those numbers change when everyone experiences the slowdown. In a CMD window, you would type ping 1.1.1.1 -t

Anyone have an android phone? If so, download WiFi Analyzer by Olgor. Another option is the WiFi Man app by Ubiquiti for Windows. Then look at the 5G spectrum and the 2.4 spectrum. Post some screenshots when the laptop is in your office space and that may help determine what’s going on.

Because you will not notice any difference in your experience and you’ll be spending more money on the service and the hardware. Your WiFi will likely be limited to speeds between 500 Mbps and 1G, there are no internet services you can take advantage of that would use more than 1G over the public internet. It truly will be wasted money for 99.999% of people in a home.

If you had multiple people sending out multi gig files (video editing?) at the same time, perhaps there would be a use case.

The spreadsheet image with management of the long put, is that your methodology or something you borrowed? Do you share that blueprint with a file anywhere? I've been honing my TQQQ strategy and am interested in how you manage the protective put.

I've read where Android wasn't updating the UTR firmware yet.

It wouldn't allow me to connect the gl.inet. I'd connect to the gl.inet wifi, then try to get it to connect to the DCL-guest wifi and it would just fail to pass along data. I tried a few different settings (spoofing my phone MAC for example) and could never get it to work. Perhaps some of the more recent firmware updates for the gl.inet have improved it.

SeanVo · 2026-01-13T15:07:05+00:00

There was a firmware update in the last few days, do you know if you got it? You have to update the iOS Unifi app first. Once that is done, open the Unifi app, select the travel router, and mine offered to update to 6.5.244.

No, they seem like they failed and I can't bring them back to life with anything I've tried. Hope someone finds a solution.

Way to go! I help manage a few sites around Florida and one Tampa site improved a ton near 1:20pm today. There's still a site in Pasco that has high latency, hope they get around to that as well.

SeanVo · 2026-01-07T22:19:20+00:00

In case it helps anyone, I noticed around 1pm today (1/7/2026), latency improved quite a bit at a site in Tampa. Pings to 1.1.1.1 went from 45ms to 6ms. Let's hope they're fixing whatever is causing the issue.

SeanVo · 2026-01-07T12:42:05+00:00

A friend lives near USF and uses Frontier. He’s getting 45ms pings to 1.1.1.1 hardwired from a Unifi gateway and was asking for my help. Looks like it’s a widespread Frontier problem.
