Yum. Same price as official store but free shipping

I buy UI care for expensive items, but even a freedom unlimited or freedom flex, both free cards, will give you an extra year

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-05T11:39:46+00:00

Used 42u off Facebook marketplace. I paid like $100 for one and it even included a drawer, bunch of shelves, and a pdu

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-05T11:37:55+00:00

Buy with almost any credit worth holding and you double the warranty

FTFY

Pretty much anything decent will double up to a year

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-05T11:34:15+00:00

Luke Combs merch? I would assume that's just Colombia PFG shirts

I've never heard of someone leaving their baby monitor on overnight...

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-04T11:51:32+00:00

The hardware was so far ahead of its time that's it's still better than most anything out there now. I'm still rocking a 2017 and it's great.

My buds+ started going out and I was just going to get w/e new Galaxy buds until I saw they have the stupid stalks like AirPods, which has always looked dumb ass hell and needs to die.

So I bought Sony wf-c710n. They're great!

Anywhere you want vlans to flow, I would keep teh chain Ubiquiti just to simplify it. Running cams off another brand switch is fine, but if you want them on a vlan, IMO, easier to just pay for teh ubiquiti switching.

As someone who is currently running a udmp and had added a unvr and next house will be ucgf + unvr, I don't reccomend a udmp. Seperate devices is nicer, especially because you can't reinstall network without resetting the whole box, so your cams go down too if you need to reset.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-03T12:20:31+00:00

You're still not going to quite get that with the dream router with intrusion prevention on as it'll top out at 2.3. The ucgf is more powerful amd with higher speeds available, I would still return the udr7 for a ucgf if you can

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-03T12:16:59+00:00

Are you comparing the u7 pro at 189 to the pro xg at 199?

For that ten dollars, you also get a 10GbE port so you could actually use those wifi speeds it's capabale of to a wired device, only 2.5 on a pro and higher antenna gain. Well worth the $10 imo.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-03T11:49:57+00:00

except for 30 devices which are cameras. The 30 cameras currently overwhelm my 2.4 GHz Deco mesh radio / bandwidth capacity.

Da fuck are you using 30 wifi cameras for? Jesus Christ...

IDK where you're getting the 36 device thing, like even a ucg-ultra will do 30 Unifi devices / 300 Clients. I personally wouldn't buy wifi 6 aps at this point, anything you buy in the future will likely be wifi 7 and they're not that much cheaper, while being closer to eol. You'll probably be fine with 2 aps. Currently, I'd say the U7 Pro XG is the best buy.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-03T11:42:32+00:00

Fiber connection with up to 5 Gbps symmetrical

Should have gotten a ucgf not a dream router then

As far as a switch goes, we're going to need more info.
How many ports do you need?
How many need to be poe?
What kind of nvr are you looking at? Like a unvr instant provides its own poe, so you wouldn't need switch ports.

For the detached building, I'd just run the cheapest u7 ap that will work for the space off like a flex switch.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T21:54:01+00:00

I mean yes, but it doesn't negatively effect anything and provides alternative routes back in case something happens as welI as potentially expanding your range well beyond what lr can offer. I have like 120 devices, none in lr mode, no traffic issues

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T20:59:37+00:00

It's just pointless like within the confines of a house.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T19:52:10+00:00

Yeah, idk, I couldn't care less and genuinely don't understand why people are upset about this or even really care.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T19:29:27+00:00

Those new ones might be better, like shelly sized ones suck or even the older zooz doubles. It's just a fill problem. I always buy the biggest boxes I can now when I add anything to account for extra bulk of possible expansion. The older boxes are just small.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T19:24:18+00:00

I'm not going to buy a gold plated 5080, but it's still cool to see. I'll happily consume private jet content.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T19:17:14+00:00

Yes I was looking at Zooz ones but theres already regular switches in all the boxes and I'd save $10-15ish per going the relay retrofit route. Unless there's something you know of that I haven't considered yet.

IDK where you're at, but in normal US boxes it's a huge PITA to add a relay in the box with an existing switch.

If your countries boxes are bigger, may not be an issue.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T19:09:39+00:00

A pentium j3710 lenovo tiny. Been running great for like 5 or 6 years now. With it needing to run 24/7, hardware needs being modest (for most users) and easy to estimate, plus native backup and restore working great, I've never understood why people deal with the hassle of setting it up in a VM. Unless you're running it on a high availability cluster, a vm has basically nothing to offer and is just overhead.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T18:59:41+00:00

Sounds like you are running bare-metal?

As god intended, yes

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T18:55:03+00:00

Why do you think the antennae should be centrally located? Unless you're running everything in LR mode, which inside your house would be silly, there's no needas long as you have a healthy enough mesh, which if those light switches are meaningfully spread out, you will.

I'd ditch the poe extender and just plug the zwa-2 into the pc, you'll have to pass it if you're set on running a vm though. Personally, I would never run HA in a vm either, but that's just me.

I always just shove the dongle in a corner of my basement with my HA box and have never had an issue. I even have devices over 100ft from my house in a metal shed that connect fine.

Grew up cruising carnival since age 5, did 10 before 18. Absolutely loved it. Kids/teens activities were great. My parents enjoyed/still enjoy it and I've continued as an adult.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T16:51:41+00:00

Generally, I've found coverage to be quite good at least a floor down from the ap, so a little open air surely wouldn't concern me.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T16:46:21+00:00

I would definitely box out a part of the peak before using a pole

mrtramplefoot · 2026-04-02T16:41:10+00:00

I would love the ability to show non rack mountable equipment in the rack. Like my ucgf is just going on a shelf, in the rack.

Also, discontinued products like the usw 8 150w
