I am trying to set up a multisite controller system because my brother is not good at anything tecky but wanted to go with a system like mine so he didn’t have to worry about comcast nickel and diming him to death.
I am running an Edgerouter 4 with 3 unifi AP’s in my house. I run the Unifi and UNMS controllers on a FreeNAS Ubuntu 18.04LTS VM “desktop version” and the system works great. I pay for 400 down but i have never seen the system actually get less then 410 down.
I had him get and Edgerouter X and 1 AP (smaller house). I want to just add his equipment to my controllers so i can take care of updates and settings for him so he doesn’t break anything.
I found and signed up with a dynamic IP address service. and set up port forwarding on my Edgerouter.
I set up everything at my house. He is on a 192.168.2 network and everything worked great. I went and installed it and it picked up his internet perfectly. I then logged into my home computer and when i went to the controller. It shows his equipment is disconnected. I now am not sure what to do.
When you did the set-inform, did you use your external public IP address? Or did you just rely on the automatic discovery, which likely used your private internal IP address.
tl;dr do the set-inform / adopt process again, from his network to your public IP.
ok thanks i’ll have to read up on this tonight and try to get over this done this weekend because it looks like i have to be there to do some of these things.
I tried everything the Device adoption method suggested to no avail. As i continued my search I came across a post saying that ubuntu my be blocking the ports so i tried opening the ports following the guide here
everything but the ssh. (don’t really need it) everything was accepted.
Even redid my domain and nothing still.
Would a cloud Key be an easier thing to get up and running at this point?
