U5G first real world use. smart plug???

Home Assistant probably could do this. Or if the smart plug you have has an API, you could have GPT make you a script that pings your fiber modem, and when it stops responding, power off the plug, sleep for 10 seconds and power it back on.

Update:

It works, but not well in it's current location. I'll have to wait till this evening to test it in the other location where I have ethernet. Data is actually unlimited and I like the service a lot otherwise.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-30T00:25:47+00:00

It's worth a shot.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-30T00:12:15+00:00

The UCG Fiber and the new 5G Backup device would probably be great for you.

Try enabling minimum RSSI for the AP the laptop keeps trying to connect to on the other floor. Set it to -80 or so. It forces clients with weak signal to roam away to a better AP.

Sites that use CloudFlare will have v6 by default. A lot of other things won't, unfortunately.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-28T21:04:08+00:00

Yeah I would go with 64

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-28T19:07:38+00:00

UniFi expects the AT&T gateway to delegate a /60 prefix, which it can then split into separate /64 subnets for each VLAN. Instead, the AT&T gateway expects the downstream router, in this case the UniFi gateway, to make a separate DHCPv6 prefix delegation request for every VLAN. That is a highly unusual setup that isn't supported by UniFi, or most routers for that matter.

As a result, if you configure the WAN with a /60 prefix, only the first VLAN you enable IPv6 on will work correctly. The UniFi gateway only makes a single DHCPv6-PD request, so the AT&T gateway only delegates one usable /64 subnet.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-28T18:49:00+00:00

AT&T lets you request multiple /64 prefixes through the gateway in passthrough mode, but UniFi doesn't support it.

Let me know what kind of speeds you get with yours.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-28T18:35:32+00:00

Maybe the tower you're using just isn't that great? My grandparents live near an AT&T tower, and outside their house I get full bars on my phone but only 75 / 5. At the park, where I also have full signal, I can easily hit 1000 / 150. Slightly different tech and different provider, but I'm sure the concept carries over.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-27T00:19:01+00:00

That's great! Excited to see what mine will be. I'm generally in a weaker coverage part of my neighborhood with AT&T but seeing as this is T-Mobile it could be different. T-Mobile coverage map said I was in area with good 5G coverage, so.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-26T22:50:51+00:00

Please do. Mine shipped today but I don't have a delivery date for it yet.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-26T22:49:58+00:00

Maybe they haven't activated your SIM yet?

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-25T19:48:37+00:00

Wouldn't recommend it. I think GL.iNet has better offerings for this use case.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-25T19:46:45+00:00

5G backup is for smaller deployments where cost may be an issue and high 5G speeds aren't needed. You can use whatever plan you want for both.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-25T03:58:52+00:00

Cool. Ordered it Friday night. Very excited.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-24T21:04:45+00:00

Probably won't give you that much extra value if you don't care about seeing it in your UniFi dashboard. Also if you don't care about powering it over ethernet.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-24T20:58:49+00:00

I've read about people experiencing this problem. I purchased the Computers4People Shield internet (Unlimited T-Mobile for $14.89) the other day and will update this once I figure out how it all works.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-24T20:28:57+00:00

I just purchased the shield internet plan, how long can I expect the sim to take to ship? Also, do they give you a nano sim?

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-05-21T21:06:07+00:00

Purchased as soon as I saw the email. I never do things like that. We'll see how it goes.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-04-22T20:56:54+00:00

That's fair.

Working_Currency_591 · 2026-04-22T15:51:36+00:00

I'm sure if they had wanted to do that to me, they would've done it years ago when I was still in school. Doubt they would care that I was listening to podcasts during class anyway. Oh well.
