Field notes on UniFi installs. Plain English.
A UBB is not invisible fiber.
Sometimes you just bought a fair-weather link and named it a network. If the far building cannot lose bandwidth during a storm, you are shopping fiber, not a wireless PtP.
Buying a U7 Pro does not fix office Wi-Fi.
A U7 Pro on Auto channel and Auto power does not fix office Wi-Fi. The AP is fine. The RF plan is not.

Protect 7.1.87 and earlier have a command-injection bug. 7.2.105 is the fix. Stage it on a shop UNVR. Do not let auto-update run overnight.
