Ghosts in our 6 New Ubiquity Pros - provision issues.

Fri Jun 19 16:45:02 UTC 2015

We have all APs set with static addresses. EdgeMax only hands out IPs to
clients using the APs.

This happens when people are using the APs and when no one is even in the
building  at 2am when there are no clients connected. It can happen to one
then 5 hours later it happens again...then doesn't happen again for 12
hours. Totally random no interval.

It is nice to know that others have no issues with these UniFi AP Pros.
They seem to be fine except for the 2 mins or so they randomly drop link
and reboot themselves. All are on APC UPSes and other devices in the same
switch , like voip phones, never drop the ports.

They are all new, delivered in various batches over time. We checked and
all are the latest versions.
