Updates Impacting UDM SE Stability?

Latest 5.x releases have memory leaks. Latest 5.0.16 seems to be impacting a lot of folks, see here: https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-OS-Dream-Machines-5-0-16/4b8a0a8b-f241-49a0-b0a3-c3de80d503ef?reply=1 Sounds like disabling IDS/IPS might be a good workaround for now … Pretty bad that they r

bad situation ever! UDMpro wipped itself

If you did not back up your UDM then you are SOL. The AP's are tied to the software configuration, not the hardware itself. You can, for example, back up the config on one UDM, take out the hardware, restore the backup to a completely different UDM, and the AP's and everything adopted in that config

Beast installed, Bottlenecks gone!

This thing is not ready for release. Do not buy the UDM Beast unless you enjoy pain. I went from a flawless (but slow UDM Pro) to a very fast and extremely unstable UDM Beast. Here's something to think about, after a complete power off, not just a reboot... The UDM Beast runs without errors for 4-5

Spectrum voice troubles

i feel you on rural isp hell. starlink as failover works well - i've set it up on a udm pro with dual wan. for voice though don't jump straight to unifi talk unless you want to be their beta tester. honestly port your numbers to a real voip provider like nextiva or ringcentral and let them handle th

Gigahub 2.0 refreshes lease time every 10 minutes on dmz configuration

I’m not sure if it was DHCP, but I had my Ubiquiti UDM-SE connected to the GH 2.0 using advanced DMZ and would experience internet drops every 10 mins for a few seconds. I ended up masquerading the GH 2.0 using a WAS-110 SFP+ fiber transceiver and bypassing the GH entirely.

Beast is upgradable!???

The UDM SE still to this day cannot self-recover from an unexpected power outage. I'm on my third one from Ubiquiti, issue persists across all units. Every time it requires a convoluted 15-to-30-minute reset procedure of dumping it into recovery mode and restarting from there. "Waaah get a UPS" - Ye

PPPoE and Bridge

Are you on Bell Aliant by any chance? It is well documented that the udm-pro-max cannot reach 3/3 Gbps let alone 8/8 when using PPPoE, like this is a fact, Ubiquiti themselves say the same if you bug support about it and many people have tried So no, you did not manage 8/8 over PPPoE with any of the

ISP is using CGNAT. Port forwarding and direct remote access unavailable.

Yes and now hahaha. I don't do this level of stuff for a living, so it's more of a hobby. My actual work, I work on VoIP, managed LAN/WAN, but not necessary these products.I've found Ubiquity over the years to just have odd issues. I legit just worked a ticket for some VoIP phones being down, found

Initial impressions of protect relay as smart garage door opener

i ran into this with my relay too. the sporadic fails are annoying. what helped was rebooting the udm and making sure protect was updated. for garage doors specifically a dedicated controller like tailwind has been more consistent for me if you need reliability right now. ubiquiti will probably patc

Deco BE75 issues

Ah, interesting... I have not had success with TP Link's routers in the past, but was given a 3-piece set of the BE75's and was going to test them out. I previously tried their TP-Link Deco AXE5400's but those were complete junk and had stability issues as well even after attempting firmware updates
