I have a question If I buy another UniFi AP and install at the end of an rj45 ( to increase WiFi range ) does it ‘share’ the first units ssid ? I.e you can roam between them oblivious to the fact of which one you are connected too ?

SIG and a contractor coming too look Thursday at 1pm . 2 real choices seem to be liquid roof or hot melt .

Yeah I tried chrome and safari. As I said seems to work on home network!. So will try on site tomorrow!

Seems to work fine on my home network. I assume I'm meant to disable the BT hub wifi yes?; and let the AP unit take over?

Hmmmmm, took the AP unit home i.e. to my network. The option to 'proceed to webpage' was there!!! It's not a 'router' config option is it??? i.e. to do with my hub?

No. Just the option to 'go back' i.e. back to the previous webpage. or show details; when gives no options.

Got my first Unfi AP Ac lite Using my mac . Downloaded the unficontroller but as soon as it launches in a browser window get 'this is not a private connection' Been googling keychains and stuff - but can't seem to get this working. Anyone ; any ideas???? Unifi 'online' chat has me at 28th in the queue !

Can’t you buy ‘caps’ for trim ? . Corners you stick over it st 45 , 90 degrees etc to hide tricky mitre joints ? kind of https://www.trimtraders.co.uk/other-trim-types/trim-and-seal-corner-pieces.html

I was following 568B

Ordered: Ideal Industries RJ45 FT-45 Feed-Thru Crimp Tool

LOL! You can insult me I don't mind. Yes I'm using a crimping tool. I should point out it's one of those ebay kits: crimper, rj45 heads, tester, cutter etc. all for 8 quid! What through me is the first attempt only 2 pins didn't light up on the tester - so I thought that's not bad for the 1st attempt 2nd attempt zero lights! ; not one ! - I'm thinking but surely you would expect at least 1 pin to make contact! So I'm going to go against the moto and blame the tool. There's just no way (I did 15 today!) that I'm going to get it so wrong that many times! Push thru crimper will be ordered! Will report back with hopefully 100% success rate. But agree with @JSHarris that as a few wires have to 'cross' over others must cause some issues.

I know ! Don’t care ! Sanity more important!

https://cctvdirect.co.uk/products/cctv-accessories/cctv-tools/crimping-tools/ideal-rj45-crimping-tool/ This one has feed thru !!! So you can see wires and order ! . Praise god ! I might live long enough to order one !

This it ?? https://www.netviewcctv.co.uk/accessories/easycrimp-set?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8Y_Bkt7b3gIVqr_tCh0Dcg-OEAQYBCABEgKrrfD_BwE @JSHarris ???

Show me this mega save my sanity tool !!!

It can’t be done it’s impossible! like one of those ‘horror’ movies where you can’t leave the room unless you complete a task ... ”You must crimp an rj45 cable within 3 hours or face certain death “ I’d be dead !

That’s it I give up !

Last try before I burn the house down ....

Aaaggghhhhh !!! Mad !!! madness !!! £&£&)£) sake !

Too be honest ‘seeing’ them in the plug before crimping is a nightmare . Admittedly I’m in bad light as I’m in the corner of a room up a ladder - I think torch required !!! . Going to hang myself with the cat5 cable soon !!

Aaaarrggghhhh ! I did crimping many years ago on bnc . This is impossible! . Every time I do it a different ‘error’ on the tester ! i’ve been here since 11 am and haven’t got 1 working connection. It’s like some form of torture !!!!

Erm yeah but going round in circles Just re crimped one end and now no lights on tester ! Seems unlikely not 1 wire made contact . So now going back to other end to redo !!! Aarrgggh !

Right ! Builder has left cat5 cable with not much length . So for example 30cm hanging down from ceiling - so everything is up a ladder and awkward . I hate crimping ! So fiddly ! Anyway managed with a tester to know i’ve Got 2 ends of the same wire . Redone both ends - get missing lights on tester . Is there anyway to know which end is wrong ? . Otherwise I could be here forever !

Yep . A few photos came too mind .... But I thought surely not for buildhub ..... ?
