i might need to add a u7 for my first floor, currently just have the ux7 and u7pro on the opposite ends of the 2nd floor, which is also where we spend most of our downtime. but i notice if i'm on the first floor it'll be on 2.4g which isn't ideal obviously

but nothing has been dropping and i'm actually getting faster device initializations (wifi garage/wifi sprinkler, etc), so maybe i'll just spend my time learning how unifi does vlan instead

also is the u7 anntennas sensitive? i haven't mounted it to the wall yet (attic too hot) and if i just tap it, it blinks out of sync for a minute
I haven't experienced anything like that. Might be worth opening a ticket with them.

I think the weakness in the xg is just range related. I'm not sure what you mean by blinks out of sync, though.
it has a constant blue ring light on, but if i "tap" it physically it wonks out into different ring colors and flashes for 1min

Ah. that is strange. I wonder if there is an issue with the lan connector. The only time it does that for me is if it accidentally gets unplugged. My son loves yanking on cables, and until we move it's difficult to keep him away.

The IP camera people recommend only using factory attached male connectors because they can be temperamental (causing hard to diagnose gremlins), even when a professional does them with the top of the line hand tools. If you ran the current cable through the wall, you might want to unplug the disc, take it over to the router, and plug it in with a shorter patch cable; then see if it's doing the same thing.

That's like buying a rebuilt pc, ugh

ok, i now see why unify is annoying shit,

the u7pro ap disconnected last night, why? idk, i unplug, i plug it back in, nothing, then they say reset

this has got to be the most retarded rest (pin) in all of existance

do you see that reset pin hole? ok, not bad, but how the fuck are you supposed to navigate to it with a fucking rj45 plugged in? it's nearly impossible, AND theres a fake hole right above it that has indentations to fit a pin, but it's blocked off, this is like sex for the first time all over again, wtf

ok, it won't adopt, won't see it, so they say remove it from my account, fine

now i add it manually, no big deal, take a pic of that qr code, then the app says, no unify gateway detected, while it's on my fucking network w/ a unify gateway.

forums are worthless, so i just fucking gemini, it says to log on the ui in the pc, ok, i actually see it and it says whatever click reset again until light changes

then i'm like now what? and gemini says, ok now try going on the app, ok i see the device and click and it says log in, wtf is this log in shit? it's ppl that have to ssh into the stupid thing w/ ubnt/ubnt or ui/ui

ok that shit doesn't work

gemini w/ the rescue again
That is actually a great sign—it means the U7 Pro XG is officially "adopted" and joined your network!

However, seeing a "Sign In" prompt is a bit of a quirk in the UniFi system. This usually happens because your phone or computer is trying to use the new Access Point's high-speed Wi-Fi, but the UX7 gateway hasn't finished authorizing the connection yet.

Here is how to clear that screen and get online:

1. Close and Re-open the App​

Often, the UniFi app just needs a "refresh" to realize the adoption is finished. Force-close the app on your phone and open it back up. It should now show the U7 Pro XG as "Online" or "Active" in the Devices list without asking for a login.

what in the roundabout shit is this?

I've never had a problem like that, and I've done installs for years for almost a dozen friends/acquaintances. Just buy a new one and return this one.

Yeah, I would be frustrated too. The XG sucks monkey balls from the physical design to the integration, I swear. The 7pro was much better. I didn't have a single issue with it. It worked flawlessly from the moment I plugged it in.

Oh I don't - it's retarded.

I still prefer the old AC-Pro layouts:
