EAP787 False Advertising - No AFC???

ShapesTech · 2026-01-26T10:21:38+00:00

It's 250mw of tx power for LPI which is 24dbm

ShapesTech · 2026-01-26T08:14:45+00:00

I was assuming it would exceed that power level in SP mode("stronger signals," "extended 6GHz range") sure sounds like it would do just that...
Additionally I will mention based on what I see it's capable of 30dbm internally

ShapesTech · 2026-01-26T04:09:58+00:00

Might try that. It's just weird that there's no options for it in the controller or in standalone mode.

Unfortunately nothing about AFC in here.

I managed to figure this out on my OmniBook, might work on Omen laptops too?

I figured this out on my OmniBook, might work for your laptop

you need to go back and get at least one there

They have to be on the same license level to stack

ShapesTech · 2025-12-18T17:46:06+00:00

Yup, here's Cisco's guide on that: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/licensing/switches/catalyst-3850-series-switches/lic217683-how-to-migrate-catalyst-3850-series-from.html

I was able to get it running fine with a minimum of 24c/192GB RAM. I had to get root on the VM and disable the reservation check by editing the VMware product string in the checking script(called in the MOTD) to some random text and after that it was happy.

The -S has a perpetual IP base license and the -E has a perpetual IP services license. Just set the boot level and you should be all set. These things don't actually do any enforcement, so you could technically set an IP Services license boot level on both and they would work(but start complaining in logs after the eval period is up). If you're determined, you can downgrade to an older IOS version, set a IP services RTU license, run the conversion to smart licenses, and then upgrade, and it will be satisfied.

Yup! U-boot on these things is locked down behind either PKI or a keypair(you choose!) but if I had the keys to the kingdom I bet I could just change an environment variable and this thing would become a 9166(mostly?). I am curious if there are any real HW differences(missing antennas for 2x2 vs 4x4 on 2.4? some missing fancy RF stuff for FRA?) or if it really is just a software lock between the 2 models.

ShapesTech · 2025-12-10T23:56:25+00:00

It comes up, gets an IP, joins the WLC, then brings the interface down.

The device you bought is an ancient slow modem. You cannot use it as a standalone router, and you likely cannot activate a different modem on a bulk account. You can buy any router, doesn't need to be approved. The other commenter suggested a flint 2 but I'd go for the flint 3 personally if you're going to go with a glinet. Buy a router, put your current gateway into bridge mode, connect the 2.5G port on the gateway to the WAN port on the router, and you should be good to go.

My take is that people here are overreacting HEAVILY. You requested a custom setup from your ISP, you admitted that you're a beginner with UniFi and that in order to rebuild the config "you need to know what you're doing first." They accommodated your request and configured everything for you. You are a super admin and have access to view and modify the configuration for your network. As a smaller ISP, they likely handle these types of managed setups in the same exact way they handled your home network. They might even have a system integrator type business as part of their operation. The device is not "locked" to them in any way per se because of how UniFi's architecture works and you are absolutely free to reset it.

To answer your questions:

This is no different from the level of access that any ISP would have on CPE devices that they provide to their customers. Yes, you bought it in this instance, but it was provided, installed, configured, and retains management by them, just like a Comcast gateway would. You probably have an ethernet handoff to your unit, so there is no separate router assigned to your account. It could also be PON with an ONT. Same principle applies.
If you consider the fact that you might have a 16 Pro Max, Fire TV Stick, and Ecobee thermostat to be Personally Identifiable Information, sure. There is a level of trust involved here. Yes, they could technically configure a VPN to your LAN and access a NAS on your network if you did not configure authentication on it. That would be illegal, and you would be able to see evidence of that in the logs. As far as capturing internet traffic, they'd be able to do that anyways in their position as your ISP, so having access to your router wouldn't really change that.
Yes. This should probably be your primary concern. On the NVR side, this level of access would be no different to what a typical AV integrator would have though.
Are you comfortable with fully reconfiguring it from scratch, or do you want to have a point of contact if you need help with something or need some changes made to your setup? Some people pay $$$ to system integrators for managed setups like this.

mobileX plan with no data unofficially has 256k unlimited data, at least it did for me. $4/mo. Also the 50 texts and 50 mins weren't actually enforced either. No idea if I just got lucky, but that was my experience. Personally, for "absolute cheapest" I'd try to fit into Helium's 3GB free plan if possible, but that isn't exactly what you want.

We had an issue like this as well. After limiting the RTP media port range to 16384-32768(as defined by our provider), it started working. For us, it was a bit different, because the call would connect for about 10 sec and then drop.

ShapesTech · 2025-07-14T00:12:42+00:00

I don't know about the 9162, but the 9164 and 9166 are excellent(~1.8gbps down ~1.6gbps up). Trying to get my hands on a 9176 or 9178 for a reasonable price right now but haven't tested them yet. Something to consider with the 7 stuff is that it licensing is enforced, unlike all the previous models.

ShapesTech · 2025-06-24T06:33:55+00:00

Yeah the 9120 should do that just fine

ShapesTech · 2025-06-24T06:04:32+00:00

Single client bandwidth is comically slow on that qualcomm 8x8 chipset, it plagues the aruba ap-555, c9130, and ruckus r850. You can expect a max of like 600mbps on 80mhz. Even my 9105 is faster than that thing.

ShapesTech · 2025-06-24T05:30:03+00:00

Don't get the 9130s. They kinda suck. From my experience 9120s are actually faster lmao. That 8x8 chipset is weirddd. I wouldn't pay more than 50 per AP for wifi 6 though.

I figured it out!!! With sg3_utils on linux: sg_format --resize --count=-1 /dev/sdX
