IrishNomad Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 I have a NanoStation M5 that will not connect to my XR. I've connected the AP and Station sides of the bridge to another 8 port Netgear switch and they both say LAN0 is connected. Once I move the AP side to the XR, I get LAN0 unplugged. I'm using the same cables as I was with the 8 port switch. Any ideas?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 31, 2023 Administrators Posted August 31, 2023 I've just had a quick look at the M5, I didn't see a power cable, does it exclusively use PoE?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 31, 2023 Administrators Posted August 31, 2023 Are you using it with or without the injector? It definitely won't work without it so would have thought it would work with it. On the XR are you seeing it listed in the Device Manager at all? I would assume not. If you connect it to the switch and the switch to the router does it then appear/work?

If you connect it to the switch and the switch to the router does it then appear/work? Yes I am using the injector. I'm not seeing it in the Device Manager but I can see the port is active. I did try another Uni-switch-router connection and same results as a direct connection. From a few threads I've found, there have been other Netgear owners with issues as well. Not sure if it's a Netgear thing or not.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 1, 2023 Administrators Posted September 1, 2023 The switch you're using is it a managed or unmanaged switch? I've not encountered this issue at all before, is there any support on the Uni side of things that either offers a solution or indicates what the problem could be?

The switch is a managed one but the only thing I changed was putting it on the same subnet as my LAN. Most of the unifi folks always said either the radio or port is bad on the unit. But I only get the error when plugged into the XR, not the switch.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 2, 2023 Administrators Posted September 2, 2023 Could you provide a screenshot of the settings available to you on the switch please?
