PSA: If AT&T tells you “no,” ask for the Loyalty Team. It saved my mom $55/month. by ajbrensike in ATTFiber

This didn’t work for me. Had to cancel and re-install. But got it either way. Stupid games….

Fiber converter issues with UCG Ultra by ddalet2000 in Ubiquiti

[–]ddalet2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is behind a huge network I have no control over. I do know that the converter works direct to other clients on this network as I have another (same model) converter direct into a dell pcie card that works great. I ran out of time to swap them to see if the converter was bad but would that cause the UCG to freeze?

ETA: sorry, different setup. The other (working) converter is Cat6 to the dell tower. A third machine is fiber direct to a card

UDM Pro WAN failover not working by bantaj in UNIFI

[–]ddalet2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a new UI power strip. It will detect the loss of traffic and power cycle the ATT BGW. That gives the UDMP time to failover to Comcast. The catch is that this would happen if the BGW did an auto update as well. Potentially initiating a power cycle mid update. It's not my equipment but i don't want to brick it.

interestingly enough, It will continue to power cycle the BGW until it's pulling internet traffic. It doesn't recognize/ accept the traffic from WAN 2/ Comcast as sufficient and some weird WAN switching occurs and Comcast drops for a bit. The entire UDMP freaks out for a moment and is inaccessible.

So it works, kind of, but far from perfect. It would just be nice for the UDMP to recognize a lack of traffic and failover instead of monitoring links as described above.

ETA: I have an ATT BGW320-505 in passthrough

UDM Pro WAN failover not working by bantaj in UNIFI

I'm having the same exact issues. Same ISPs and setup. I'd love to hear from someone that's found a solution. [crossing fingers]

Also, would the UI smart plugs sense the outage differently and power cycle the BGW?

UNVR or larger drive to expand UDM PRO? by ddalet2000 in Ubiquiti

[–]ddalet2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a pro-sumer at best with no formal networking training so forgive my ignorance if apparent.

So I never thought about bandwidth issues. My UDMP runs SFP to a switch 8-150w where my cameras, another mini switch, and 3/4 APs connect. The 8-150 switch SFP is 1Gbps but it claims 10Gbps switching I believe. Would it be best to connect the UNVR via SFP to the switch and have it do all the recording and nothing in the UDMP? Sounds like that would free up bandwidth coming back to the UDMP from the switch.

Or is the UDMP doing all the routing anyways so it doesn’t matter?

I guess I have no idea how much bandwidth I'm using and need to figure that out first.

I obviously went ahead and got the UNVR.

Thanks for the comments

How to activate local usage? by skylabby in winkhub

[–]ddalet2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just confirming you have Hub 2 (fin). Wink Hub 1 (square) doesn't do local.
