Great price drop on the Ubiquiti UISP Router (Note this is not the unifi line)
Surcharges: 0% for bank deposit, Afterpay & Zip Money. 1.2% for VISA / MasterCard & PayPal. 2.2% for AmEx.
I caught a glimpse of her ubiquities when she wasn't watching
I don't care what you say, I'm not sticking my v6 Jack in that!
Just a heads up in case it's unclear.. This is a UISP router. I don't think this can work as a normal router in unifi controller.
Can i use it like a switch?
I dont have enough ports on my existing router, I can use this to add more ports?
Yes you can use it as L2 switch but you will loose your WAN port so it will be just 8 port switch (with 1 port used for the uplink)
This still appears to make it a pretty solid deal, especially given they gave it a web interface in fw 1.6.0 and there appears to be support in Home Assistant unless I am reading it wrong.
@Bluto Mindpretzel: Nunawading store sold one to me for $40 cash a few weeks ago (but I'm not sure $40 is all time low, I seem to recall seeing it for $39 last year or early this year).
Thought I would be able to use 27V passive PoE somehow, but I still don't have any device that uses that… so it's been collecting dust.
It's expensive as a gigabit switch (unless you have devices that can use 24V passive PoE and because it is passive PoE, you need to manually turn each one on (and only if the device connecting to it supports 24V PoE)).
You need to turn off DHCP on this router when using as a switch only (otherwise, if you use it as a router, you will be doing double NATing for IPv4). There is an UISP app.
Doesn't seem like a bad option for a PoE supply for a couple APs (EAP245)?
Anyone used one of these in a roof space? up to 50 degrees in spec, but not sure that would cut it… (trying to run cables up for each, just curious).
Check EAP245 supports 24V or 27V passive PoE first. Specs page indicates 48V Passive PoE.
Dang, you're right, thanks. Glad I didn't jump the gun. Will go check what the NVR supplies …
Cheers.

Will this do what my current Linksys will do?

I use it as POE for network phones, but a few of the ports require the cables to be wriggled a little every now and again and have been debating whether I replace it.
Most likely no, Linksys LGS308MP supports 802.3at (PoE+) and 802.3af (PoE), active PoE standards. This UISP only supports passive 24V or 27V PoE. Unless your network phones happen to support both 24V / 27V passive PoE and 802.3at/af standards, you won't be able to use PoE on this router. Furthermore, this is a router so you need to disable router specific features if you want to use it as a switch.
By default, this UISP router turn off PoE on every port. With passive PoE, it is dangerous to turn PoE on by default as that could fry devices unable to support that type of passive PoE. I used to use a VoIP ATA and analog cordless phones, but nowadays, I just use mobile phones with VoIP app. However, if it is for business, then the business should be able to buy a new PoE switch and expense it.
Thanks net surfer
