Hi all

 

 

 

Ive a UniFI UAP AC Pro (test date 12/24/16)

 

Until last night it was rocksteady and we found it was in a slow blue/white flash this morning

 

- decided to reset it and now its on the plain solid white colour

 

- Ive got a mac that was running the controller, but i think i then converted it to the unifi cloud access controller and I have an app on my mobile too

 

- app on my mobile shows my configuration that I used to have but cant 'find the device' 

 

- the controller on the mac also cant find the device

 

 

 

What to do?  Obviously Im missing a step here....

 

(currently running wifi off the VF ultra hub (which the unifi AP is directly connected to and ive also factory reset this today as I couldnt log into it.... which is a seperate problem ive faced over the years). 

 

 

 

Welcome the thoughts and options....

** Purchased a new AC Pro **

 

- same issue, so decided to pull my hair out again

 

- Seems Eth1 (physical numbered #2), on the UltraHub is dead...anything plugged into it does not work (originally I did swap ports but the issue below perhaps was the culprit)

 

- Swapped ports, still no go but then decided to "yet again" unplug everything and add back one by one..... FOUND THE ISSUE. 

 

- ISSUE was the Hue Bridge... as soon as that was removed from a switch (switch also had alarm panel, NAS), I started to see the new AP show up everywhere

 

 

 

** up and running again, everything else (including the Hue Bridge is back working) **

 

- with the previous AP, I'll keep and use it / swap out an older 2.4Ghz only Unifi AP which is at my mothers house

 

- Likely sell or give away the older 2.4Ghz UAP once I swap over

 

- Now having fun 'discovering the controller settings' again...will think about moving to the community cloud key one day....

 

- As for the Vodafone Ultra Hub, its a dog... ive always had issue bringing up the log in page....aka right now im unable to bring that up unless i power cycle the unit... so for now I'm not concerned about the Ethernet Port 2 (Eth1) being dead as the other two ports feed into seperate switches and for now I dont need anything else plugged in until the kids grow older and need ethernet in their bedrooms

 

 

 

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ADVICE, I will now slowly skool up on SSH and read the router guide a few times...... oneday I'll sort my router. 

 

 

 

Goose.
