Good video. Best part was just explaining that the dream machine is all the items packaged together. It seems that is missing from most YouTube videos. Thank you!

Really great initial set up instructions. I have just purchased an AC Lite from you and now I'm looking at expanding with Ubiquiti in my home

Good video, I would like to see a video on configuring Vlans, update firmware via ssh, run inform commands to provision APs across VPNs

Hi Dude, Which internet provider do you use? As I'm currently using sky and I've heard they're naff!

Hi, I am with BT and currently have just a Smart Hub 2. Which modem would be good to work with the devices you mentioned in this video? I assume I would need a DSL modem but would be good to get recommendations on what is easily configurable to work with the Ubiquiti devices

it does not let me download software it says its malicious and i need to contact the dev

[TechWithKishan]

Would it be smart to turn my current router (I have to have it because it decrypts co-axial data) into bridge mode for my USG?

I am busy setting up 5 * unifi ceiling mount Aps all via cable. Do i need to change anything to have 1 SSID with all 5 units. I know i must just name the ssid on all 5 the same but when the user is connected to the closest AP it auto connects him instead of staying on the furthest AP

[AjSaini]

Would I need to get the unifi controller, if objective is to use usg as VPN server only.

I know I can skip the ap as no wireless devices

[juansaydeflores]

do you really need a controller to mange the ubi POE switch?

[walthill]

i got the software to download but now its giving me an Java error and I'm not sure how to bypass this?

[spinkey]

does it have to be a unify switch and gateway or can any others be used?

Unifi network poor benchmark WIFI/network speeds?

I am running a unifi network which has USB-3P (firmware: 4.4.52.5363511) gateway, US-16-150W (firmware:5.43.23.12533)
PoE switch, and one UAP-AC-LR (firmware: 4.3.24.11355) WAP. All running the latest firmware updates.
Unifi Controller v6.0.45 on my Windows 10 Pro x64 and on the controller dashboard speed test I am getting 166 Mbps down
27 Mbps, 14ms latency. I have confirmed it on wifiman.com speedtest at 111 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up.
Can anyone explain to me why when I plug on computer directly to the modem, I get 933Mbps down and 33Mbps up
when speedtesting??

The Unify setup is the stupidest thing, they should've added all the spftware to their hardware so y'all can run it on your browser like EVERYONE else. Only reason I'm not buying it.
