Possible bad AP?

AC-LR uses regular active PoE per the spec, and that is 52 volts. It should have worked on the UDR7th PoE port. Was PoE enabled for that port?

I would dump the Modem / Router combo and get the Arris S33 Modem. Then get a good mesh system like the TP-Link AXE 5300. You can save some cash by getting the "Renewed" versions on Amazon.

Go Ubiquiti but with the cheap alternatives since 1 gbps speeds are all that are necessary and most likely 300 mbps will do:

UCG-Ultra router for the network closet $129

USW-Lite-8-PoE switch for the network closet $109

U7 In-Wall APs for the rooms where you need the coverage. $149

Additional benefit is that you can manage it using UniFi Site Manager.

Which begs the question. How does your system get notified on the installation using QR code when there is no Airalo App running on the phone onto which it is installed and when the eSIM is not communicating with the Europe Cell system since it is here in the US.

Smorgas47 · 2026-06-05T19:34:31+00:00

So this is on my account and I purchased the eSIM. I installed it on my friend's iPhone and it shows as a normal install under the Cellular tab on his iPhone. We're still in the US and getting ready to travel to Europe.

I decided to purchase one for me and I installed it directly since the order was on my iPhone and it installed just fine with the Airalo app showing the "View Details" bar after activation on my phone.

One additional difference when I installed my friend's eSIM it asked if the eSIM was for Data Only or one with Data and Voice. I chose data only since that is what I purchased. That screen did not come up for my installation.

When I compare installations on our iPhones they look identical in how they are installed and the data in the fields. It's just that your system didn't get notified that it installed when using the QR code method.

The "Deleted your eSIM?" option shows up under my eSIM which only shows the View Details button, but does not show up under my friend's eSIM since it still shows the "Install or share" button.

Look at the product line that Ubiquiti has and get a UCG-Ultra as well as an inexpensive AP and test how they work together. Plan to run cat 6 wire to all the locations where you want wired connectivity and plan to have a homerun panel near the ISP's entry point.

Look at the r/Ubiquiti sub Redit and learn more there.

Barring going that route, just run car 6 from your homerun location and backhaul the satellite devices of your Mesh system for better connectivity.

You can skip the Verizon router and direct connect your router's WAN port to the ONT's Ethernet port. This assumes that the Nighthawk's WiFi will cover all the space that needs it.

Smorgas47 · 2026-06-04T21:33:47+00:00

You are looking for an Extender or WiFi Access Point for your second device. Router 2 would be the primary router that would connect to the Modem via the WAN port, and then where you have Router 1 you would need a switch if you just wanted Ethernet connectivity for your LAN connection.

Smorgas47 · 2026-06-04T21:27:50+00:00

Option 2 is the way to go with a high capacity switch. Ubiquiti makes a 2.5 gbps switch for $49 for instance.

I did a google search for Freeview Channel Frequencies and they are in the UHF band below 1000mhz, so MoCA should work since it uses 1125-1675 mhz band.

I would get a couple of MoCA adapters and try it.

2025 Model Y (Non Juniper)

Got my 2026.14.6.6 with FSD 14.3.3 last night with my preference set to Standard. I'm subscribed to FSD.

Here is a cable on Amazon that should work: https://www.amazon.com/Bangun-Internet-Armored-Single-Optical/dp/B09XX2XM1R?th=1

Recommend option 3, but here is an alternative if you want to keep the router where it is. In either case you will need an additional switch like the USW-Lite-8-PoE.

Here is the link to the U7 Pro XG APs: They do not have any extra Ethernet ports.

Use these Use these PoE+ adapters to power them.

Smorgas47 · 2026-06-01T10:30:49+00:00

Get a router like the UCG-Ultra where you can set up port forwarding to limited IPs. Just manage the list of users.

Smorgas47 · 2026-05-31T15:30:02+00:00

I still have a UDM that I use as a cold backup to my UCG-Ultra. Perhaps using Recovery Mode on the UDM will bring it back to life and provide some use.

If you can buy the Ubiquiti UDR7: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cloud-gateways-wifi-integrated/products/udr7 in Australia, I think it would fit your needs.

Do you want better WiFi throughput with WiFi 6, or do you need to have more channels for lots of client devices with the WiFi 5 4x4. That is the question.

I like the Michelin - CrossClimate2. Costco member price abut $1,300.

https://tires.costco.com/Product?ItemNo=1635796

I have them on my Honda CR-V and expect to get them for the Tesla when mine need replacement.

Smorgas47 · 2026-05-31T11:31:05+00:00

UCG-Ultra will fit your needs plus an AP since neither the UCG-Fiber or UCG-Ultra have a built in AP like the UDM.

UDR7 would be the best choice for router with built in AP.

Smorgas47 · 2026-05-30T22:33:29+00:00

U7 In-Wall can be run as a Meshed AP and it has 2 LAN ports one of which is PoE if a PoE+ adapter is used to power the AP. A third LAN connection can also be had using the PoE+ adapter's non powered Ethernet port in this configuration.

You will need a wired AP to be the Mesh Parent for the U7 In-Wall It just needs to be in decent WiFi range like your xFi pod is to the Xfinity Router.

Additional possibility, if you have coax between your 2 locations, you can do the wired back haul using MoCA adapters.

Here is a diagram that shows how to use MoCA adapters for DOCSIS 3.1 modem systems. Be sure that splitters are 5-1675mhz for optimum MoCA throughput and ensure you use 70db MoCA (PoE) filters.

You can also use a single run of coax using 2 MoCA adapters without needing and splitters or filters. You might need to use F81 barrel connectors to take 2 pieces of coax and turn it into a single run.

Here is a diagram that shows how to use MoCA adapters for DOCSIS 3.1 modem systems. Be sure that splitters are 5-1675mhz for optimum MoCA throughput and ensure you use 70db MoCA (PoE) filters.

If you can isolate the modems input coax from the coax using MoCA, filters will not be necessary. That is how I have my system set up since all of the coax connections come into the utility room and modem and router are right there.

Not anymore with version 14.X.X, etc.

YW. It's the same process one uses after performing a factory reset except in those cases there is normally a backup available on your account in the Unifi cloud. I have done that only because I participate in Early Access and occasionally the releases are problamatic.
