This is a great price for the 24 port Non-POE Unifi, lowest ive seen before was $300 on Amazon but no free shipping.

Its been a tough decision between this and the 16 POE Switch as the main switch in the house.

    $535.20 for the 250w POE model: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/172750758551

    • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 13:41

      Yea would be great, but outside budget
      24 Non-POE $279.20
      16 POE $407.20
      24 POE $535.20 (Also i think its alot louder then the 24 Non-POE and 16 POE)

      Wondering what the difference is between the one you've linked too and this one?

      Ubiquiti Networks EdgeSwitch 24 250W (ES-24-250W) Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch with SFP

      Looking for a new home setup.

      • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 15:41

        Pretty much similar just different sides of the Ubiquiti, thats the Edgeswitch (UMNS) side and this is the UniFi side

        That one is Webbased GUI, and this one is UniFi Controller, They both still have CLI ability and both built on EdgeOS

        Personality I have a USG and AC Pro, so I am already invested into the UniFi side which is why i went this way

        • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 16:38

          Not sure if you need L3 routing in a home environment tho?

            @asa79: The question was what is the difference between Edge & UniFi switches. I never said anything about the suitability of L3 switch routing in a home environment. But now that you've ask, yes you do if you want to isolate insecure IoT gadgets from your main LAN while still be able to control them via apps on your phones, tablets, and computers. Whether you do it on a router or on an L3 switch is up to you. L3 switch routing is much faster but IoT traffic are low enough to not matter.

            Permit: IoT → Internet, LAN → Internet, LAN → IoT
            Deny: IoT → LAN, Internet → LAN, Internet → IoT

            • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 17:03

              @alvian: You can already do that in UniFi with VLANs and Firewall tho

                @asa79: Not with the UniFi switch alone, you need the USG router.

                • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 17:05
                  -1

                  @alvian: Most people that get the full UniFi set up usually get the USG, otherwise you miss out on alot of features

                    @asa79: You are changing the questions after I have provided answers. Please don't do that. My answers are only applicable to the questions as formulated by HelpWanted and you. In particular, no assumption was given by you or made by me that an USG is already provisioned on the LAN.

                    Original question: What is the difference between Edge Switch & UniFi Switch?
                    Supplemental question: Do you need L3 routing at home? (You were actually asking "do you need an L3 switch at home?")

                    Your supplemental question is NOT "do you need an L3 switch when you already have an USG?"

                    You may have missed this part of my answer to "do you need an L3 switch at home", so please allow me to repeat it. The answer is yes if you want to isolate your IoT gadgets from your LAN and still be able to control them via phone apps, and if you want to do it on a fast switch rather than a slow router (and a slow router includes the USG).

                    • HelpWanted on 30/03/2019 - 18:38

                      @alvian: Thanks @alvian. You appear to be all over these setups.

                      I've got 3 weeks before move in what would you recommend? Trying to future proof as much as possible. Does the edge series negate the need for a USG?

                      House is FTTH (Opticomm) wired for, 3 TV's (future wires for 2 more), fetch or foxtel, 2 gaming consoles, 3 access points, 3 computers, a future NAS and possible CCTV in near future.

                      Have about 30 outlets not all will go via switch.

                      Any suggestions welcome.

                        @HelpWanted: I cannot possibly give you good quality specific advice without knowing your particulars such as your budget, your level of technical knowledge, how much time you want to spend tinkering, the wants and needs of your household and the layout of your house. And if I am to ask all these question and design a system for you, you'll have to commission me as a consultant. This was my business before I became a full time carer.

                        You may want to post in the Computing forum with these information and see if it solicits responses. You'll not be the first or the last to ask for advice building a LAN.

                        Very generally, buy separate components to future proof as this will give you the maximum flexibility. The UniFi range are good and relatively cheap, and they are well integrated by the software controller. Reduced learning curve and the ease of management are their major selling points. My criticism though is that they have limited management and security functionality with respect to a complex commercial setup. The higher EdgeMAX range have features which are unnecessary for a typical home, but don't discount them if you can score a deal.

                        But to really save money you'll want to pick and choose rather than buy into a single vendor's system. You can buy enterprise/industrial grade devices on the second hand market for cheap. Look for products that have transferable lifetime warranties. Products that were sold for thousands when new can be had for hundreds on eBay.

                        My standard answer in the Computing forum to questions like "I want the best LAN and I want it cheap" and "I have 100 devices and I want good gear" is this: Wi-Fi with an UniFi WAP (more than 1 if necessary) for its stability and price, switch (& L3 route) with a second hand L2/L3 enterprise switch (no. of ports, noisy fans or fanless, PoE, rack mounted or out in the open, warranty) for its value for money, route with pfSense/OPNsense on a repurposed computer or with a OpenWrt router for practically free.

                        Why buy new WAPs? For the latest Wi-Fi standards. Second hand WAPs may be cheap but they are obsolete. Switching technology, on the other hand, are mature enough to not matter… unless you are chasing 10GbE and faster access ports.

    Out of curiosity, what kind of setups do you guys have that needs this kind of hardware?
    I can't imagine needing more than… what, 5 ethernet ports in a regular switch for most households - and even that's a lot.

    • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 13:45

      I currently have a 16 port HP enterprise grade switch that is full. and made the swtich to unifi with the AC Pro and USG, so would be nice to have the switch so i can do VLAN nice and easy seperate IOT devices and servers/latops

    • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 13:47

      I have 2 ethernet ports running to every room in the house, some rooms like media and lounge rooms still have a switch too many devices to run that many cables (so that will be an upgrade to 8port unifi). And Access Points, Smart TVS, Android TV, Gaming Consoles, Servers, raspberry pis, Desktops, hubs like philips hue etc all plug into the switch

      • cooni on 30/03/2019 - 13:48

        Ah right, I see. Enlightening!

      • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 13:50

      Renovated, installed sockets everywhere. Still overkill as I only need maybe 8-10 plugged in at any one time, but it's nice to be able to plug it all in properly.

      • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 13:51

        You can never have too many plugs, i did 1 plug for each room in my old house, and so many times i wish i had 2 plugs, so did 2 in each room this time around, and only using 1 in most

      Approximately 15 physical machines and a bunch of Ethernet connected stuff - access points, modems, routers, cameras - it all adds up. Desktops and NAS are all wired. Some of the entertainment devices and game consoles are wired. I have a homelab but that's only 3 servers.

      Surprisingly little cabling in the house. About 8 runs in total to a central location with a Hager patch panel system. I haven't moved to fibre yet but considering it for the next upgrade. Could do 4x 10Gbps fibre for about $1500 all up including the NICs and cables.

      There's 50+ devices currently on the network. About half are wireless, half are wired. I'm a little tech-obsessed but not by that much. Most households have more devices than they realise: Xbox, Playstation, TV, router, NAS, desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, multiply by three kids, you just hit 20+ devices.

      • cooni on 30/03/2019 - 14:13

        Poses another question, why would you need 10gbps fibre within the house? 1gbps ethernet seems plenty?

        Yes indeed, upon reflection there are a whole stack of devices in my house, nearly all on wireless though.

        • m9 on 30/03/2019 - 14:21

          Edit: Only the 48-port model has SFP+ 10 Gbps uplink. This 24-port is 1 Gbps uplink. You typically use this to extend the network over long runs via fibre optic.

        • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 14:21

          10gbps is ideally if you transfer alot of data. So if you keep backups of 4K blurays (or moving forward 8K) on your NAS and stream to multiple media boxes, it would be alot quicker

          • alvian on 30/03/2019 - 16:17

            @asa79:

            stream to multiple media boxes, it would be alot quicker

            Sorry, but it will take the same amount of time to stream your 8k movies to media boxes as it does 360p. Streaming means data on demand, it does not mean buffer the entire movie.

        • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 14:22

          wireless devices will never usually get to the 1gb speed as you have multiple devices sharing an access point that is on a 1gb link

        • [Deactivated] on 30/03/2019 - 17:28

          Poses another question, why would you need 10gbps fibre within the house? 1gbps ethernet seems plenty?

          Would like 10Gbps to interconnect the 3 servers. They run cephfs and over 1Gbps it's "ok" but would be better over 10Gbps. For everything else 1Gbps is enough (for now).

    All these unifi deals are making me want to buy now, but I'm not ready for the install for about 10 months.

    New house build with unifi video as well. Thinking 4 cameras, 2 AP's, gen 2 plus key for NVR, 16 port Poe switch and hopefully new USG. (Along with a new Synology) hate to waste the warranty though. Also thinking of have more the 16 ports, but really only need 6 or so Poe.

        • asa79 on 30/03/2019 - 20:23

      The 8 port 150W POE would cover the 4 cameras, AP and Cloudkey as it has 8 POE ports.
      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/8-Port-Ubiquiti-UniFi-US-8-150W-… $279.20

      • kulprit on 30/03/2019 - 17:27

        So use the 7 PoE for the items, then the last port into the other switch?

I even still ahve connection for about 2 hours away at the bus stop. I will be putting another over the other side of the house at a later stage, to increase the 5g coverage. But at moment the 2.4g covers all my IoT devices with no connection issues.

            The AC-HD is supposed to be larger coverage but price is also higher too

    • asa79 on 31/03/2019 - 13:17

      it has 1 POE in and 1 POE out. So can be powered by POE and has a POE port for powering another device. Similar to the toughswitch.

      Being powered by POE is great for places like an attic you dont have power maybe

      About $8 difference so its better to get the 4 POE one as you can turn off POE and no extra power consumption

  • asa79 on 31/03/2019 - 23:10

    8 Port POE is sold out, and 2 left of the 24 port
