Re: GS1920-24/48HPv2 and Unifi AC Lite. Any PoE Interoperability Issues?
In case anyone is looking for the same info some time in the future…
Both the 24 and 48 port Zyxel GS1920HPv2 work fine with multiple Unifi AC Lite APs (but only the newer "802.3af compatible" version). They should work fine with the AC LR models as well (again the 802.3af versions). The above mentioned "force 802.3AT" setting is not needed. If you are running these APs, do yourself a favour and stay away from Aruba Instant On 1830 (and 1430) series switches, and buy the Zyxels instead.
Re: WLC (wireless Lan Controller) built into the USG Flex 700?
Hi users,
To measure the overlap in wireless coverage between APs, it's crucial to focus on the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) as detected by the client devices.
Essentially, you need to determine the points where the signal from one AP begins to weaken and lose. So, another AP's signal needs to cover that area. You can accomplish this by walking the area with a device that measures RSSI from each AP. Using the distance in meters helps in confirming the transition zone. For instance, if an AP at its output power has a signal reach of 10 meters, the ideal spacing between two APs could be around 16-17 meters to ensure adequate coverage overlap.
You can optimize the deployment of your AP by adjusting its position or modifying its maximum output power to achieve the ideal setup.

Re: router choice
In a simple network you can have LAN1 192.168.1.1/24 and LAN2 192.168.2.1/24 your devices in each network point to there gateway you then have a firewall rules to all say LAN1 to WAN and LAN2 to WAN then to have LAN2 access LAN1 you do LAN2 to LAN1

Re: ddns
For No-IP I use User custom
https
your no-ip user name
password
Your domain like bounceme.bounceme.net
the interface
update with public IP if interface is not direct with WAN
DYNDNS server dynupdate.no-ip.com
URL /nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=bounceme.bounceme.net
check public IP URL if needed http://ip1.dynupdate.no-ip.com/

Re: Help getting vlan working
If your devices are not tagged on NIC they can never see the USG.
Set ports on VLAN1 to not member 1-10
Your want USG connected to a port on the switch as tagged port 1 this port PVID does not need to be set to 70 (but is fine as 70) you then need to set ports 2-10 as untagged with the PVID as 70 devices on port 2-10 will then go out port 1 as tagged 70 to USG

Re: voip on a ugs20vpn router
Do you have an on premise system that connects to the server, or just a phone that connects to a server in the cloud?
Do you see any entries in the log showing a blocked connection attempt from the phone provider?
That is found at Monitor > Log. Clear the log first, then make a call and see if it shows in the log as a DROP.
Have you run a packet capture during a call to catch both WAN and LAN1 (or whichever you are using) ports? That can be done at Maintenance > Diagnostics > Packet Capture > Capture.
Do you know how to use Wireshark to look at the packet capture (PCAP)? If so, you should see first the signaling from the phone/phone system using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), then the audio using Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP).
If you have an on premise system, it also matters whether it connects via registration or not. If it does not register to the server (unregistered SIP trunk), then you will need port forwarding, or Network Address Translation (NAT), rules in place.
But, I like to start with the packet capture to see what is coming in to the WAN and whether or not it is going out to the LAN.

Re: USG FLEX 50W Configuration Files Cleanup
The Zyxel device automatically creates .conf files beginning with ez_ for settings used in Easy Mode, this file creation takes place in Expert Mode. You should not or can not delete those files.
User Guide chapter 4.1.1 Objects and Rules — page 89.
Regarding startup-config-bad.conf, see page 827, chapter 33.2 The Configuration Screen :
if there is a file named startup-config.conf and an error happens during boot, your Zyxel device creates a log and copies startup-config.conf to startup-config-bad.conf . See your User Guide for the remaining description.
