Can you expand on what’s wrong about it? I have some ubiquiti gear and I haven’t noticed anything wrong but I haven’t taken a close look.

- NelsonMinar 2y agohere's an old post of mine about it. this was a year ago, maybe it's improved but given they were willing to ship this I am not optimistic. https://nelsonslog.wordpress.com/2023/11/19/ubiquiti-routers-garbage-bandwidth-stats/ https://nelsonslog.wordpress.com/2023/11/19/ubiquiti-routers...
- petee 2y agoUbiquity stuff has always been flaky with metric accuracy, its commonly mentioned on their forums, and I get the impression they never intended it to be super accurate, just a general overview. My personal experience with a USG is that under real load it will deprioritize stats, so traffic speeds etc start getting dropped, though I guess thats better than losing network speed just to make a pretty graph
- petersellers 2y agoThe USG is pretty old at this point, so that's not too surprising. I wonder if their newer hardware suffers from the same issues.
- petee 2y agoIts true its aging but still works well for a small network. From what I gather in the forums, it might be due to the controller software not so much the specific hardware; the complaints still seem fairly steady. For example the past year someone reported their printer used less than 30KB but was recorded as 1.6GB; another with a Cloud Gateway (not too old) reporting 17GB of traffic daily for a Kindle consuming less than 1MB
- petee 2y agoEdit: apparently Ubiquiti quietly EOL'd the USG, so no more security updates. Just bought a UCG Ultra, so far seems a decent replacement, I like that the little screen rotates when mounted upside down
- NelsonMinar 2y agoit's hard for me to understand how "pretty old" could excuse something as simple as not incrementing some 64 bit counters correctly.
