Compatibility between GS108 ev3switch and UniFi AP AC LR access point
Hi, I have just bought (in Switzerland) a brand new GS 108 ev3 and brand new UniFi access points AP AC LR. When I connect the access points directly to the router, no problem it works, I can see them in the controller and adopt them but when I connect the access points to the switch (i have tried all the ports and various cables) the access point go in permanent isolated state and cannot see them in the controller. Many thanks for your help.
- Hi, many thanks for the reply. I have been able to fix it. Had a kind of conflict with a TV BOX. I wired the TV box directly to the router, bypassing the switch and now the access points work perfectly.

Maybe as an addendum : I used the POE injector that is included with the Ubiquity UniFi Access Points

Hi Sbod,
Welcome to our community!
The GS108Ev3 is compatible to any Unifi APs as long as you are using a power injector that provides power to it. Do you have any VLANs created on the switch?
