RA2 and Unifi Networks...any definitive answers?

[ErikU]

Sorry to reply so late. I had similar issues with my RA2 system and UBNT. Here are the settings that resolved the issue:

Settings/Wifi/Advanced
Optimize IoT connectivity: enable
Multicast enhancement: enable

Settings/Network/Lan/Advanced
IGMP Snooping: enable

Settings/Advanced Features/Advanced Gateway Settings
UPnP: Enable

Hey ErikU - I can't find the "Optimize IoT connectivity" option in Unifi controller version 6.1.71. Any suggestions?

I am looking in WIFI/Advanced and I see Multicast enhancement, but no IoT option.

Everything else is set as you suggest other than IoT. Lutron not currently working for me.

TIA

Make sure LAN to WLAN block traffic is disabled.

Upgrade from 6.1, its not a good release. 6.5.55 or higher will also patch the log4j vulnerability.

In the end, I made all your changes PLUS Lutron support noticed my laptop was on a 192.168.100.xxx network while the Caseta was on a 192.168.1.xxx network. I had to go onto my hidden wifi network with access to the .1. network in order to communicate with the Caseta. Once I did that and input the Caseta's ip address, then it was off to the races.

I thought I'd post this incase there are other Unifi deployments out there that have similar settings applied.

I've long struggled with updating RA2 main repeaters using Ubiquiti equipment. The only way to update the programming or firmware was to hardwire into the system. If trying to update the system over Wifi and the RA2 software isn't able to find the repeater, it's possible the Unifi deployment is blocking LAN to WLAN multicast traffic. Check the following settings:

Settings > Wireless Settings > (Your Wireless Network)
Under advanced options > Check to see if "Multicast and Broadcast filtering" is checked. If so, the system would block any multicast traffic being sent from LAN devices to the RA2 software via Wifi.

If the option has been enabled, you can add the main repeater as an exception by clicking the "Add client" button. See the image below.
