The UniFi suite has some rough edges, the Unifi Security Gateways will just sit there in a useless state if both WANs are down and they are rebooted (until one of the WANs comes up and they connect to the controller). That is a less common scenario, but its still annoying & breaks the local network. Better to run in a crippled state than not at all IMO!
- Whitestrake 8y agoIf the blocking issue is a startup connection to its controller, could this be mitigated by having a local controller?
- tjoff 8y agoOuch, that is bad. I guess that will happen pretty much every time there is an power outage. If internet hasn't recovered all local devices will boot up and not even get an IP?
- StudentStuff 8y agoNa, the Cable/DSL modems and LTE Modems we spec out usually come online a bit before the USG. Ubiquiti's USG and USG Pro take a solid minute to boot, much longer than the modems take. That was another nice feature of Lede, it is booted and ready in well under a minute.
- tjoff 8y agoThat assumes that internet is working and that all the gear on the way also have had time to boot. That is very much not guaranteed. And if you ever have an internet outage this is probably a likely time to have it. I also realized that we probably don't have this problem. The controller is in a VM that is pretty much only booted when we need to edit something. So most of the time there won't be any controller to talk to during boot.
