Ryobi Garage Door opener
my panoramic wifi sees my Ryobi Garage Door opener, connects then dis connects, any suggestions?

I have an older Chamberlain setup that has a similar integration setup. Basically using the older setup you get a garage door remote that has an Ethernet port instead of a button to push. Plug it into the nearest Ethernet port within remote range of the garage door, setup the app, and it just works. I believe most newer openers have a wifi module built into the opener itself.
Strangely enough I found myself having to troubleshoot a problem with my setup and guess what feature doesn't come with a $1600 Unifi switch? 10Base-T backwards compatibility.
I am curious what model switch it is. Not that I am going to be buying a 1600$ switch any time soon. Heh.
Since you all asked: https://dl.ui.com/ds/usw-enterprise-48-poe_ds.pdf
Given my experience from the Unifi management console, I suspect they dropped 10Base-T on all their switching equipment. Documentation states 100Base-T/1G/2.5G/10G supported.
Interesting. I think you mentioned your switch before so sorry for asking you to repeat.
Can you use a dumb switch in-between the device and your switch to negotiate the connection? How did you solve the problem?
Yep, I suspected this might be the problem. The device being only 10Mbps was known to me and the problem started when the new switch got swapped in. I found one of my older GS series Netgear switches to put in the middle and I was able to get it to link. GS must stand for good switch, who knows.
The firewall has 8 unused Ethernet ports that support 10/100/1000 so that was the solution but even that wasn't plug'n play. The Chamberlain support literature says many routers are not compatible with their bridge due to the way they're internally wired. Ultimately I had to think back to some of my prior networking kung fu and decided to make a crossover cable which made it compatible with my firewall.
