Hi everyone, welcome! I’m new here and have a quick question about setting up my home network. I recently installed two Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-LITE devices and set up a mesh network for them to communicate. Everything is working perfectly so far. Both units are powered via a Cisco 24-Port PoE switch, which itself is connected to the ISP’s modem/router. I also have a Legrand OnQ whole-home audio system that shares the same switch and operates smoothly on both 2.4/5 GHz bands provided by the modem/router. I’m hoping to replace the ISP’s built-in 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi with my own UniFi access points, so they manage all the home network traffic. However, I don’t have access to the audio system on that network, and I’m surprised there’s only an input port on each access point. I’d appreciate your advice on the best way to resolve this, especially since having four WiFi networks isn’t exactly ideal. Thanks!
Not used to the Ubiquity gear yet, but it seems you set up a separate LAN for the mesh network. The issue is clear. Home devices usually work within one LAN, which helps them find each other automatically. If you have a different subnet on your Ubiquity mesh (like ISP 192.168.1.0/24 and your side 10.0.0.0/24), connecting home audio becomes tricky without manually assigning IPs. It might be better to treat it as a single AP so everything stays on the same network.
