I talked a buddy into a EDM Pro for his house...and it's already poo poo itself. I bought mine, but haven't setup yet. In this case, I don't know if there was a power surge or what. But, while I had considered getting a UPS, this brings the topic forward a bit. Any recommendations for a 1u UPS to power a UDM Pro, a switch, 3 APs and probably the cable modem? I don't need a ton of up time, just something that will let me shut down gracefully within an hour or something.

Like it sounds dumb, but you pay the rackmount tax for UPSes something fierce. My 850VA one ran my modem and USG and would have lasted at least an hour if not more I think.

The EdgeRouter range last got a firmware update in March and v2 of the OS which was meant to be the "we promise we will fix all the problems this time around" release still has weird bugs and is down on performance compared to 1.9.x. There's an UNMS Router in the EA store to go with the UNMS Switch so I'd say the EdgeRouter / EdgeSwitch line is going away

I have a USG, a few FlexHD APs, and a few Unifi switches. I want to configure it so that wireless clients are not able to access any of the wired clients. I have one printer that is wireless that I would like to be able to access from both wired and wireless clients. How should I go about setting this up?

A 19" shelf and a regular ups is likely cheaper than a 2u ups. 1u ups's are going to be super premium due to needing to either use nonstandard lead batteries or lithium based ones.

They do cost more but I put one of these in a client's office to keep a couple of switches and PoE injectors running and it's been good: https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-OR500LCDRM1U-Smart-500VA-Rackmount/dp/B000XJJN60/ I haven't had to replace the batteries yet but apparently they're hot swappable (it uses two thinner 6V instead of a single 12V to fit the form factor): https://smile.amazon.com/CyberPower-RB0670X2-Replacement-Maintenance-Free-Installable/dp/B009ACPC5C There's also the option to replace the batteries and keep the existing tray saving a little money. I'd agree with everyone that there's some benefits (mostly cost) to going with a normal UPS instead of rackmount but the price premium on a small one like that isn't too bad.

It's definitely not an awful price, but more than anything I just paid less than that for my 1500VA tower style UPSes.

Do any of you bother with IP reservations in your home settings? I just made one for the printer cause I've been subject to too much printer fuckery in my career and just want the slut to work. Secondly, what do I stand to gain from one of those routers posted above? What would you use for wifi in that case? Just offload that responsibility onto my Archer or whatever?

I do IP reservations for stuff I don't want IPs to change like my printer, home server, a couple VMs, stuff like that. I just have my DHCP start at 192.168.1.10 and reserve stuff in the .2 - .9 range.

I reserve most devices, especially if I think I will ever remote into them. However, I run a pfSense appliance so I know I am already a 1% of 1% edge case, and pf makes it so easy to assign static IPs, so why not?

Network adjacent, but you all are a knowledgeable sort. The old laptop I was using as a central home server blew up and I find myself out of old hardware I can throw Linux onto and call it a day. What are the general guidelines for a middling home server setup? Use case would primarily be running a dozen or so assorted dockerized services with the most intensive being a Plex server, but it would be nice to spin up and down VMs as well. I also plan to buy/builf a NAS at some point so SMB/NFS duties until then as well. Tbh, the old laptop was doing a fine job until it wasn’t so I assume hardware specs would have to be insane. I’m doing fine with everything moved over to a RasPi, but those tend to eat SD cards before too long.

I currently have a router that "combines" the 2.4ghz and 5ghz into one network and automatically offers devices the appropriate connection depending on their capabilities and distance (I think), I'm also using a WIFI extender on this network. This all mostly works fine but sometimes when moving around my apartment, my phone will take a while to establish a wifi connection, feels like this tends to happen when I move between coverage zones. This has led me to considering a mesh solution but I'm curious, just how seamless is the switching between access points with a mesh network? Can I expect to see improvements in this are if I replace my networking equipment? EDIT: This is a sketch of the place I'm looking to cover, router is at X and my PC is at Y:

My Eero Pro does the same and it hands off between nodes fairly seemlessly so far in a week of using it. I haven’t noticed any WiFi drops or any issues.

This is somewhere between a server (pretty minimal hardware can be used) running unraid or get an off the shelf solution like a QNAP 2 or 4 bay server. For the QNAPs running plex with transcoding you need one with an intel cpu rather than an ARM cpu and 2GB or more of ram (depending on how much the docker containers use). The NAS thread is a good place for more specific discussion.

The offer packets don't look malformed in any way. It looks like it's Consolidated's fault. Also got this reply: "6roybatty6" posted:I asked CX about this and it turns out to be a bug in the firmware on one particular model of GPON terminal- the Zhone one you've got. We'll probably try to work around it soon but I'd suggest that it's probably quicker to get a new ONT that doesn't have the bug. So that's some potentially good news. Then I did an experiment -- the packet capture was showing inbound retransmits still going to the IP address held by the old router, which isn't quite the right behavior. I powered down the ONT completely (have to remove the battery too) and then connected the Eero and booted it all up. And it WORKED. I'll be excited to hear your results.

It may be placebo but it seems to make the experience smoother with my chromecasts as I've had some trouble with my router lately and needs a semi-weekly reboot. I have a number of computers and web interfaces that I want to have the same IP (like a homeseer Pi), I want my ecobee to be reliably accessed from our phones, I want my different computers to have fixed IP addresses for RDP purposes, etc. The only thing I don't reserve an address for is our smartphones.

IP leases are held by mac address, so as long as the device in question is using the same medium (wired vs wireless) the router will continue to hand out the same ip address - with some caveats about not letting the lease time run out while the wifi is off and having another device grab it. All you'd need to do is setup the mesh devices (presumably with the same network name and password) and then turn off the wifi on the router. Mesh will be a lot better than using a regular wifi extender.

Unless I misunderstood the details above which I probably did.

Yeah, my line there about keeping the same medium meant that they stay connected in the same fashion they currently are. Once they install the mesh system they can just shut off the wifi on the router itself and everything should continue as normal.
