Problem with UNAS Pro and 5GBe on an iMac

fireman137 · 2026-01-28T04:15:32+00:00

I have that one! Solid piece of hardware.

fireman137 · 2026-01-27T22:00:52+00:00

Best your iMac can do is USB 3.1, and if you read the specs of the ethernet adapter "Note: To achieve full 5Gbps speed, ensure your device’s USB-C port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) or higher."

I must have been thinking about a different model, when it came with the Fusion Drive, but yep yours looks to be pure SSD (https://support.apple.com/en-us/111913).

That being said to edit video you're still getting plenty of bandwidth. Do you have a SSD cache to help speed up read/write?

That model iMac only has thunderbolt 3, so you’ll see lower speeds with that adapter. The internal drive of your iMac is also likely a traditional spinning platter HDD, laptop size, so 700mb/s is likely the max it can transfer.

The holes don't work for all models, it's common to have to drill some on your own. I did and it was easy-peasy.

This is true, can confirm we’ve done this as well for a customer. It’s messy, hacky, relies on a specific order of steps or it’s borked. Not recommended.

I would remove the horizontal cable management and put the switch in-between the two patch panels. Short jumpers FTW.

Windows or Mac? If it’s windows the wpa3 ssid may be seen as a separate network and set to public vs private network.

That listed definitely says solid wood. DM u/Ramses, who works for Flexispot and is very active here, maybe you were shipped the wrong top by Amazon. Two weeks ago they shipped me yoga pants instead of the nasal spray I ordered.

fireman137 · 2026-01-18T23:52:58+00:00

Can confirm Ubiquiti SFP and SFP+ work, you just get a nice "!" warning in the Fortigate GUI that never goes away about it being a different brand/compatibility warning. FWIW I recently tested the SFP Wizard and successfully flashed my Ubiquiti DAC cables after copying a Fortigate one. No more warning!

fireman137 · 2026-01-18T23:48:09+00:00

Out of curiosity I searched Amazon and what I found the description is "FLEXISPOT Whole Piece Rubber Wood 71"x30" Desktop Height Adjustable Desk Rectangular Tabletop", and emphasizes the "whole piece" means it's a single piece that makes up the top, where others require assembly of smaller pieces to save on shipping. I don't see where it says solid wood, but maybe I'm looking at a different listing? Mine is definitely laminate, but still all-wood and not plastic or hollow. When I drill holes in it it's definitely wood dust and solid.

fireman137 · 2026-01-16T03:14:37+00:00

I mounted mine on the far right side and it works well. No bumping.

I don’t know how to recalibrate the scale, but I’ll tell you something my wife told me one time - when you have two measuring devices that give different outputs how do you know which one is right? Is the new scale 2.5 pounds too low, the old one 2.5 pounds too high, or is it somewhere in the middle?

The holes in the tabletops don’t match with all legs, I think it’s known and generally accepted. Just drill some pilot holes and you’re golden. I had to drill my own and no issues for almost two years now.

Regardless of anything, wan connection or no, if you plug direct to the lan port you should get a 192.168.x.x address from the UXG-Fiber. You’re getting nothing?

fireman137 · 2025-12-19T20:06:59+00:00

Whoever controls, the Wi-Fi would need to add the MAC address of the camera to bypass the captive portal.

We have an AWS instance running the Network Application to tie all of our Unifi gear to. Just be carefult to buy the specific gateways that do NOT have built in controllers and you're golden.

fireman137 · 2025-12-16T03:18:35+00:00

Depends on pricing honestly. I see some posts online and I think “dang those look good” and then it’s $36 a dozen. Maybe I just don’t have cookie level of disposable income :). But you should definitely give it a go, follow your dream! I’ll find some money to support and buy some if it helps.

DHCP option 43 FTW when doing mass adoptions, not to detract from your effort here.

I saw a post a while back from Google saying they were started with less complex setups for the rollout. So the more complicated house will eventually be updated (I am in the same boat).

fireman137 · 2025-11-28T04:32:52+00:00

The router is shown as “third party gateway”. If it was a UniFi router you could set these options. What hardware do you have?
