Better UI is stretching it a bit... Maybe for the amateur/enthusiast (homelab) market...
I certainly don't need or want their rack augmented reality... 'feature'? fad? And their clunky web UI is both limiting and slowing me down. Thanks, I'm perfectly fine with a console and simple LEDs.
- theshrike79 1y agoThat’s their exact niche.
- einsteinx2 1y agoThat and SMB’s. I’ve seen a lot of Ubiquity gear in small hotels, random small businesses, etc. Especially hotels, they seem to be super common (not big chains like Hilton or whatever but smaller boutique hotels).
- aaronax 1y agoThe UI for the fs.com programmer is merely "not bad". This could easily be great in comparison.

I find it mind-boggling that you can hardly buy _RAM_ anymore without programmable RGB LEDs, but that managed switches do not come with a per-port RGB LED to let me mark VLANs or cables that need replacements or whatever. Come on! A nice little square all around the port, please. Instead, we get the QR code plus an app that needs to talk with the cloud.
- wmf 1y agoSome of their switches have Etherlighting™.
- Sesse__ 1y agoYes, if you have special Ubnt-brand cables. And still, I want this to be standard everywhere, not a niche thing from one manufacturer :-) (I know Facebook has some on their 100G switches, too.)
- simoncion 1y agoI'm pretty sure that the only thing special about the cables is the boot that transmits the light from the port's LED array fairly well.
