Hey guys, wondering if anyone has an early UniFi PoE injector with a reset button that I could borrow or buy? I've got a couple of APs that are mounted high (in a commercial setting) and we no longer have a scissor lift to access them. They are accessible via SSH but don't seem to fully reset via SSH - so seem to be functioning, but dropped off the management interface (and also don't show up as ready for adoption), so hoping the ol reset via the injector might work?

I'm in WLG and happy to come pick up etc.

Unplug the cable at the switch and plug it back in?

If you’re able to access via ssh can you not just run the inform command to point to the controller address?

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

Injecting 24V via a 1K resistor for current limiting into the data pair will do the same thing.

Also, which model? The wiring for GE vs FE PoE is different so you'll need to consider that when you're sourcing such a PoE supply with the reset switch

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

Hmm, I did a port power cycle but will give a physical unplug/plug it a go next time I'm on site.

It's connecting to the same controller - the WAPs 'disappeared' for some reason. I think I have tried, but will give it another go 👍🏽

Apparently 3 quotes is too many!

For some UAP AC lites - so potentially those old injectors may not work :/

Ah! Great success. Tried all the things again after updating UniFi OS and the Network Software, and things started working again 🤷🏾‍♂️

No idea why it was being temperamental before :/

Thanks for the help and for those who PMd with offers to part with their devices 👍🏽
