Even just 1$ a month, comes out to the same as Binge-watching all of my 500+ Videos every month.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.

Hi, great video! The solution for your question will not please you. You did all things right. Have done it bevore. But with the last update of the unifi controller software some devices get disregarded. The no longer support pico station flashed to unifi. So a lot learned (the other airos Stations use the same tftp firmware recovery - no the is no unifi firmware for them :-\ ) If you want something for you unifi controller take a look at: Ubiquiti UAP-AC-M.

[@alexanderg9106]

Hi, found it. Unifi 5.6 support pico station 5.7 not. Please take a look on the change log of both versions. KZbin don't allow links here sorry. Google for "unifi changelog" first link and then search for 5.7 and 5.6. You will see the device it no longer listed unter "recommended firmware".

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Alexander G Thank You very much! very good info,,, bad info, but makes sense. I do not like that they drop their products so fast from support,, :-/ Like the square AP I did a video on. It's not that old,, and was not cheap, from new. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@atkentravelafrica4361]

i am commenting to this after many years Yes! in 2024, i was able to run the unifi 5.0.7 with the same device and restore my backup from unifi 3.1.2 and everything works fine for me, though i went through a lot during the transition from airOstoUnifi at first place finding the files in 2024 was a real pain i dig almost all over the internet after some time i did find all i need and all went well, now i use the device to manage my customers without stress at least i can say that! i wont finish without say thanks for the video since video like this is what get my device working again. Cheer!!!!

[@MyPlayHouse]

ohh this was so long a go,, I have not used it sinces I did the video.

[@atkentravelafrica4361]

OK, i see ! Do you plan on using it! If not i will be glad to have it! 😀

[@ReissJerham]

Friday night = relax when mph uploads a video!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi ProliantPoweredge Friday night = relaxing after yet a week of making three videos :-) Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@lukegrocholl1320]

Great Video Norton, I really like the Ubiquiti Videos!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thank You,, It is Morten :-) Norton is the old anti virus program :-)

[@Hayatory]

Always love the networking videos, I hope you can get this thing to show up in the controller!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Dr.PanCakes Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@alexanderg9106]

As far as i know (and was posted on crosstalk solutions) with the newest unifi firmware that device is not longer supported. Even with the unifi firmware.

[@tarekmahmudbhuiyan7368]

Love your videos. I have a question. Recently I bought a gigabyte x58 motherboard (used) which has a couple of bent/broken pins in the socket. The board works fine expect 2 dimm slots are not working. paired it with an i7 960 and it is very stable under loads (aida64, etc.). Can I pair it with a 6 core xeon? or will it create problems because of the bent/ broken pins?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Tarek Mahmud Bhuiyan I am sure that if you was at a dinner party, and had the best engineer from Gigabit on one side, and Top engineer from Intel on the other. They would also say,, I do not know. :-/ Thank you for watching! :-)

[@matthewlandon1697]

More Networking Stuff I take it!! By the way did you get that wall one installed

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Matthew Landon Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

I am guessing that would be good for use in a outdoor pool area to get WiFi to the guests?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Knuckles the Echidna Ice rink, at the moment :-) Thank You very much! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@alexanderg9106]

Also want to mention the pico station is a REAL good produkt. Have some of them installed. The have a realy good signal in sending and reciving and also the throughput is good.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Alexander G Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@MVVblog]

Thumbs up in advance, i have to watch this and your last 4 video!!!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi MVVblog Uhh playing catch UP! Hope you like the videos :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@Eo_Tunun]

I may be exposing some kind of a cassandra complex here on my side, but I can´t stop thinking that if you put that device on a nicely high pole in your garden to get better wifi outdsoors, this will make your network infrastructure turn into an awesome lightnig conduction system. o.0

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Eo Tunun NOW that is POE!! Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@mety9325]

i own an ac-lite and a mesh outdoor AP from Ubiquity. they both support 48V PoE from my managed Netgear switch

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi M Mey Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@Shapandu]

Can you please help me? We have this piocstation in our local school everything was working fine before except frequently limited access , but now everything is down since there is red blink in picostation itself and no WiFi ssid won't even show up in any device both android and computer , how do i solve this please?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Sorry I’m not an expert on this,, I believe it has an reset button,, but then it has to be reconfigured,, and this is to old,, for unify now.

[@dennisolsson3119]

The products I've seen from ubiquiti allows for real PoE too (48V), but allows passive PoE of 24 volts too... I guess it's because the injectors are easier/cheaper to make.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Dennis Olsson 24v /48v,,, same price,, but ealyer, I think so to. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@CEDrsgaming]

Hello, This device is made for wISP, not for unifi controler. Unifi controler is used to manage end user large scale wifi like (home, school, hospital, ...) And the devise you try to flash is made for wireless isp. You put that on your roof and connect client to it directly. Ubiquiti have now a platform to manage the wisp products. It's called UNMS

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi CEDrs Thank You very much! I do not have a specific use for this Picostation yet,, so just playing with it,, I I know that putting it in UNIFI has been an option. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@nortonsima]

The latest unifi controller no longer support that device with that firmware. Read that on their webpage somewhere ;)

[@alexanderg9106]

Changelogs: Recomended firmware for devices. The pico is missing.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Simão Gomes Thank You very much! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@Cooper3312000]

Yah I don’t think these work with the unifi controller just like the EdgeMax series :( only the items under the unifi tab on their website.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Jonathan Williams Thank You very much! It seems that my unifi controler is to new :-/ Thank you for watching! :-)

[@christophesch4070]

I hearded that these tricks works with the old Unify not wiith the new 5.7.20.I don't know if that is correct I don't own one. Anyways it is always nice to see your videos.

[@alexanderg9106]

That's correct and can be found in the change log. Also when you have a picostation with the firmware and start the upgrade you get a warning popup that you have unsuported devices.

[@christophesch4070]

thanks for your info

[@MyPlayHouse]

I am to late :-/

[@christophesch4070]

Yes and no, you do own the square AP, that is old. You can use the M2 and the old AP at home with the old controller... e.g. :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Christoph Esch Yes I could do that. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@Guust_Flater]

Reset controller!?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Guust Thank You very much! But everything else popped in just fine!! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@StefanoBettega]

You can put a wireless network camera in the garage or over it and use this WiFi access point to bring network to it and to your new WiFi lawnmower which you surely need...

[@alexanderg9106]

Shure you can do dies. Bus Then I would suggest u use a nanostion with two Ports. Main = poe in. Use poe pathtrough and put the CAM on the secondary port. Makes for one poweradapter.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Stefano Bettega Thank You very much! I do actually need a new lawnmower. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@lukegrocholl1320]

Try to SSH into the PicoStation and telling it the IP of the Unifi controller. I had to do this with one of my UAP-AC access points. (set-inform ip-of-controller:8080/inform)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Luke Grocholl Thank You very much! It seems that my unifi controler is to new :-/ Thank you for watching! :-)

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

Sure is a pain when software and hardware don't work together. So much for plug and play.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Scott Downey It seems that my unifi controler is to new :-/ Thank you for watching! :-)

[@awesomefacepalm]

Wont work with latest version since they unifi just dropped support for the unifi converted pico Downgrade to an older version

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi awesomefacepalm Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Is a good IT number

[@thadrumr]

Try and download unifi firmware 3.3 instead of the latest. See this article linked below. docs.buf4.com/unifi/unifi-hacks/_205146010-UniFi-Convert-PicoStation-M2-HP-to-run-UniFi.html I have read that controller 5.7 LTS should work but version 5.8 is definitely not supported or working. UniFi firmware version 3.3 is definitely the end of the line due to flash size limitations.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi thadrumr Thank You very much! good info!! Thank you for watching! :-)

Are you bragging about your IQ again ?

[@DorianTokarz]

M2HP ! How many of them did I install ... If you’re interested, the guys and I wrote an article on UBNT forums about what we do with Ubiquiti in festivals and venues :) community.ubnt.com/t5/airMAX-Stories/Les-Vieilles-Charrues-Festival-France/cns-p/1994171

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Dorian Tokarz Thank You very much! That looked like an awesome projekt!! Did it work well or do you need to improve a lot this year? I can then tell you now that the Picostation M2 HP will not work with the newer UNIFI controller.. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@DorianTokarz]

My PlayHouse Hi Morten ! It is an awesome project every year :D Lots of things change from year to year and that’s cool ! I think we will need to improve this year. The first example is the M2HP replaced by Mesh UAP-AC :) (We had 4 UAP-AC HD last year : it is ... so so powerful :o ) We also need to whatch out for the APs not to mesh together and create broadcast storms ^^
