GregM: I talked to Ross last week and he had none left. I'm still having issues with my chromecasts, so if I can't sort soon, I may sell mine and go back to my unifi lrs


You and me both - for me it’s mainly with the Hub Max, but also I find all Google casting devices (Hubs, CC audios, CC Ultra, Nest Minis) do sometimes disappear - and the list of devices shrinks and grows a few times every time when trying to connect via Spotify on a mobile device.

I really don’t want to go back to my Grandstream APs, but equally these hassles are damn annoying - if I can’t get them sorted I may need to go back to the drawing board and look to purchase something new (as per the original intent of this thread...).

Thanks - I may just go with a UniFi U6-Lite. I think anything more would be overkill for my needs.

 

Can this switch power it? I have one already.

The PoE variant of the switch can power it, otherwise no it can't.





Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

I brought one, assuming you're talking about the Aruba. Not the most attractive thing in the world, but it has better WAF than just hanging from the cable.

I'm in the process of drawing a 3D printable version of it, once done I'll put a link here to its location and people can print their own. As it comes from.the factory, it's designed to be injection moulded, so not ideal for printing - little bit of work to do to reverse engineer it, and also make enough changes that I'm not going to get grief for IP type issues.

James Bond:

 

Good morning, late to this - does the seller this have stock on these?

 

Interested at two units for two seperate community buildings.

 

 

Way too late for the Aruba AP's

 

He does have some Ruckus R500 and R600 hardware he's selling on Trademe. You'll need to flash the unleased firmware onto these for them to truly be useful.

@Ge0rge I’ve 3D printed a few mounts now and have my own mounted this way.

Anyone here using the Aruba APs on a wall rather than ceiling. Two of the locations in our house would better suit wall mounts from a WAF perspective

Hey @michaelmurfy how far off the wall/ceiling do these mount the AP, and do the impact the network cable at all?

@openmedia Just looking at the 3D print about 38mm:

These aren’t the prettiest of APs, and the bracket makes them stick out even more like a sore thumb when ceiling-mounted - certainly shows their commercial origins!

If I still had my old Grandstreams or had gone with Unifi products I’d be ok about locating them in the main living spaces of our house (hug the ceiling plus are attractive), but the depth of the unit plus bracket as well as the colour and general aesthetics means these Arubas would be damn ugly and dominating in a room, especially one with a lower ceiling height like the 2.4m in our kitchen/dining, which is where I’d like to put one. A 3D-printed bracket in white would be better than the black ones I’ve bought, but that still leaves half the unit coloured black.

First-world problems, I know...!

would a right angle RJ45 for in it to make it lower profile? or if you mounted it almost flush and had the cable connection go up into the roof. Thats what i would like.

I have mounted all of my AP's in cupboards so they aren't seen, makes little difference to the number of walls the signal has to go through, except of course in the room they would have been in... but while my house can be covered by a single AP, there are now three AP's so walls aren't an issue.

You can buy white mounting points as well.

 

 

No too ugly, but, not as low profile / unobnoxious as the E400 etc
