• I'm trying to set up an additional AP (a Unifi UAP-AC-Lite that I had spare).

    As ever, I'm having difficulty getting it to play nicely, as apparently, my ability to terminate cat6 in keystones correctly is utterly pathetic - the connection is ok to power the AP, but not good enough to have the AP connect over ethernet. Instead, it connects to another AP, and I end up with much slower speeds.

    That's not my real problem though - Every time I physically connect / disconnect the AP, the switch that it is attached to (Ubiquiti ToughSwitch 5-POE) utterly shits the bed, and all but stops working.

    (Meaning that everything connected stops working too - PiHoles, Unifi Controller, and the AP I'm working on)

    I can see flashy lights on the box, but it's invisible on the network - connecting on the management port, everything looks fine.

    What have i broken?
