Thanks Chris and you're welcome, glad you are finding my videos useful 😁

Hi, There's some comments here in this thread about copying to another Yubikey. It's best practice to have a 2nd Yubikey in case your 1st one gets lost/stolen/damaged. Yes you copy the HMAC Secret to the 2nd Yubikey which should then give you a duplicate. Follow that when it's generated and then copy and paste to the 2nd Yubikey, then of course test it to make sure it works ok and you're good to go.

Thanks very much Tristan, glad you found this video easy to follow and of course it worked for you. Thanks very much 🙂👍

No problem, you're welcome mate 👍

Thanks Andy, as the Yubikey uses 1 of the 2 HMAC sections on the Yubikey you can still use that along with MFA generation as MFA is stored in a different section of the Yubikey, have a look at this diagram and it will show you where things are stored within a Yubikey - developers.yubico.com/Developer_Program/Guides/yk5features.png There's 2 storage slots as you see, so you can use one of the unused slots to store the generated key for KeePass

Thanks Jason 👍Thought I would do something a little different 🙂

It's wise not to tag traffic on the SFP ports as normally you would want the traffic between the UDM and USW using the SFP+ port to be untagged so that it allows 'ALL' traffic to pass between the router and switch as the UniFi Network Controller on the UDM would not be able to manage devices. Is there a specific reason why you want to do that ?

Yeah It's a good one, well I like it anyway, it's much better than the one I had previously and it was easy to put together too. Anyway to answer your question it's from rackcabinets.co.uk and it's an 'Orion 12U FS Rack Cabinet 600mm x 600mm'. Hope that helps and you're able to purchase from your location.

@tyjonesd - Great thanks for letting me know, glad you found this video helpful. Thanks again and there's more Grandstream videos on their way in due course!

Thank you very much

I suspect you might have missed one of the steps from my video. If you enter the IP address in the internet browser address bar without ':8123' what happens ? If it loads your NAS page then the IP address is correct. If it does not load your NAS page then you might probably have the wrong IP address or maybe a firewall rule is blocking access, maybe you have it in another VLAN. Also check that the Docker Container for Home Assistant has a green dot against it's name to show it's loaded and running.

Thank you 🙂

Ok, so it's actually the wireless mic kit you're using, so you'll want to change what you're doing with the mic, but still, this is fixable in your editor.

I bet it has more to do with the 3.5mm cable not being plugged in all the way.

@@aliencord8259 The cable is plugged in all the way, I did check that each time I am recording.

@@capnjackcanon I agree the audio isn't the best when I use my Rode Wireless Go II. I might invest in a new one. Audio seems better with my Rode Video Mic II which I use when recording videos on the PC screen. Maybe I'm generating static! No seriously I do agree the audio can be improved and I'm on the case, hopefully you can bare with me for a while as it will be resolved. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it when it's constructive.😄 I've just remembered I did have the air con running when I filmed this and it could be the background hum from that or interference from it. Like I say I will look in to it for sure!

Well that's your opinion, it depends on a personal preference I think and how much of a geek one is. Thanks for your comment anyway.

Hi, thanks for the comment re DAC cable. I have always left my devices with 1 hole space between devices to allow extra air flow, it's just a personal preference I think. I personally prefer spaces betwen and I'm not keen on devices being squashed together. But I appreciate your comment/feedback.

@@MrTimTech2022 You have seen that you have two bigger spaces betweent the holes and then a small space between holes? You suppose to align them correctly. And some devices cool better when stacked together. Internal fans will pull the air through it and the air in that 1-hole space that you keep between it will contain still standing air. No extra cooling there. Lot's of people think that way, but it's a misconception. Thanks again for the DAC.

@@petervandebeek5980 I spotted that the space between UNVR and PDU has 2 slots, that's now been changed (PDU moved up 1), so thanks for spotting that. I know there's a gap at the top between UDM SE and shelf but there's a reason for that - future videos. I see what you're saying about the cooling and spaces between or no spaces between. One day I will test with/without spaces and see what temp readings I get. Thanks for the info though, appreciated !

Yes they are always sold out. I subscribed to the 'In Stock' notifications and as soon as I received the email I had ordered one 3 hours later from the email receipt time.

Hey thanks for your comment. Wow that's certainly a good WAN connection speed. Understood re the UDM connections and that you have it connected to the Aggregation. To answer your question it's always best to connect both your UDM and USW both in to the Aggregation so that the Aggregation sort of acts as a junction box. Then your Aggregation can either route traffic to the UDM or USW depending on where it's going to. Hopefully this makes sense. So to conclude it's best not to daisy chain them in a row. Take care!

@@MrTimTech2022 thanks for your answer Tim, i changed now like you said and it works a little bit smoother now, thanks and i keep watching your channel

Hey, thanks for letting me know, glad it's improved things a little. You're welcome & it's a pleasure to have you as new subscriber👍

Have you tried www.grandstream.uk which is for OAK Technology based in the UK or the distributer in the UK is BNS Distribution for a web search. Hopefully this helps!

@@MrTimTech2022 Thanks I am in the USA..

@@be-kind00 Ah sorry didn't realise, however I'm sure their must be a distributer in the US. I found this one if it helps - shop.ntsdirect.com/category/45/Grandstream-Distributor.html

Hey @stramax07 - Thanks very much indeed 😇

Hi @mikesalz, that I'm not sure as I've not tested that, maybe someone here reading these comments might know. Anyone ?

Thanks for the feedback. Thankfully this has never happened to me (yet 😇) but should it ever do then I will certainly put up a video on how to recover from that kind of disaster. Not sure why your's would be bricked, or hopefully it hasn't !

Hey, thanks for the comment. Yeah I try to include them where possible and as many splits as possible so that anyone can jump between sections if they find me talking too much, which I admit sometimes I do lol. Setting up VLANS is coming in the next video in the series, however there's an update to do, so I will do that first so it's on the latest version.

Hey, just thought I would let you know that I've released some more vids in the 'Easy Setup' series for 2024, I've also put them together in the UniFi Network 2024 Setup Series Playlist, so you can also see them there!

You are very welcome, glad you found it helpful.

@ritagraham6703 - Oh wow, so pleased you found my solution and that it's worked for you too. Thanks for the feedback😁

@@MrTimTech2022 I haven’t implemented your instructions but will do so soon. 🙏

You're very welcome, glad you found the video helpful.

Thanks very much 🙂

We all learn, so don't worry. I expect you have a firewall rule preventing the VLAN that Home Assistant is on, from communicating with the VLAN that your camera's are on. They would both have to be on the same VLAN or create a firewall rule to allow 'Inter VLAN traffic'. I have done videos on 'UniFi Firewall Rules' to allow inter VLAN traffic, that may help.

Yes I could, however the DAC cable would still have SFP+ connectors on each end wouldn't it. Plus I have struggled in the past to find a very short DAC cable which looks neat & tidy, I've ended up with excess cable loops with DAC cables, anyone know of very short DAC cable suppliers ?

@@MrTimTech2022 it is SFP+ but it’s passive, meaning less power draw which equals less heat and longer life. Ubiquiti sells a 0.5m for $13(I don’t know the cost there). I’m not saying there is anything wrong with your setup, just that for shorter distances, DAC is the preferred method.

@@John-ml4pr Hey John, yes that's true re power draw & heat. I may well look in to searching for a very short DAC cable, yes I guess that one would do but would be better if I could find one shorter, will certainly have a look around. Thanks for your comment and feedback, appreciated!

@kentish_outdoor2335 - Yes it wasn't up to my usual quality, apologies for this. Hopefully I can improve it on my future vids. So yes I agree and appreciate your constructive comment 😇. I think it was my post editing and maybe interference being next to the cabinet from the wifi mics I used. Will certainly look in to this when on my next recording session!

I guess you're not a fan then 😞? The vids are very popular 😉

Hey @tommichalski240 - Thanks for your appreciation and comment. Well in fact I don't normally just do one off videos for 1 person in general... However on this occassion I think this is a very good ideal and would help a lot of people out and also you've asked at the right time as I'm about to do a 'new' series of videos focusing on setting up a unifi network and then configuring firewall rules, VLANS etc and IoT controlls from other VLANS. If you can wait a few weeks I will be getting around to the VLANS and Firewall videos. Hopefully this new series will be useful for you 🙂. And yes I plan on incorporating Philips Hue controls!

@@MrTimTech2022 Fantastic! Surerly can wait. Really appreciate it. This will be a hit!

I think you would have to do separate image uploads for the various floors as I don't think you can do multiple floors as they expect an AP to be available on each floor I think

Maybe check the help section of Ubiquiti. However I may well do an updated video around RADIUS as I'm about to do a new updated video series for UniFi.

You are very welcome, glad you found it useful !

Agree there is a delay unfortunately, but still useful in some scenarios I suppose.

Thanks very much, glad it helped

From memory I think there is a setting somewhere in KP XC to stop it appearing, have a look through and see what you find.

Thanks very much. I should be getting more GWN prods very soon, according to you know who. Might do a guest wifi portal vid next

Thanks Steve, glad it worked for you and was easy to follow.

Thanks 'J'

Hey Mike, to be honest it was quite a while ago when I did this video, as you mention. It's my intention to do an updated one soon too! without giving too much away 😉 From memory I think if you put Any then it will not allow anything through, it seems standard to use the RFC1918 addresses, seems to be the norm so I followed this on. I believe it was after meaning after the set of user created rules. I need to go back and look as my memory is a bit blank for it at the moment lol. Maybe watch my updated video in a few weeks too and it might reveal/answer your questions from this comment 👌👍

Hi @wobbles8983 - I did think that odd about the sensor mounting but that's what other people have done but more to the point the official instructions from Ubiquiti state that's how it should be mounted. It was also an unboxing video as well really, hence the packaging removal. However I do have many other videos that don't have unboxings in them, but thank you for your feedback.

You're very welcome @ClaytOnline, glad it helped you 🙂

Hi and thanks for finding my channel. I notice you mention the GWN7605 which is a WiFi access point, what router are you using with your setup ? What speed does your mobile device say it's connecting to your wifi GWN7605 at ?

@@MrTimTech2022 iam using jio fiber connection, i connect GWN 7605 to others modem but speed not going above 10 mbps. With other devices speed going around 45 mbps. I want to extend wifi speed with help of GWN7605.

What speed (Mbps) does it say your mobile device is connecting to the GWN7605 at ? check in the settings on the device under WiFi connection. Not the internet speed, I refer to the speed the device connects to your GWN7605 at!
