Your videos are great! Thank you!
I'm new to Unifi and your videos help out, thanks for taking the time to create them.
UNIFI is amazing.
Hi Willie,
I have wifi issues in a 2 floor building and have just purchased 2 x AC pro units,
The broadband is minimum 23mbps - 39mbps however we could have 50 clients connected at anyone time ! Can you advise the best way to set up the ac pro system.
Cheers..
SOS Willie: power or internet interruption farks the system
Controlled via Win 10 PC 2 older UAPs powered by POE wall adapters.
After power or internet interruption APs get stuck at "adoption failed"
Tried with DHCP and then both static IPs are set outside the DHCP range of the ISP router
Uplink Connectivity Monitor and SSH authentication are both disabled
Only a factory reset gets them up and running
These MIGHT have been working properly before ISP switched router and bypassing the Edge Max POE 5 router and owner isn't inclined to invest in new equipment since ISP provides one free wifi extender and aftermarket extenders aren't too expensive. When these first fell into my hands, a firmware was suggested and I accepted. (Bad idea?)
There is one other UAP at the home that I assume hasn't been updated but I have no idea what controls it or how to see its Firmware version. If I unplug the ethernet cable, that one unit comes right back on line.
UPS won't solve th problem since even the internet blipping off will disrupt the system requiring factory reset.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Willie, I have watched many of your videos, and I really enjoy them, highly informative and well presented. I never got to write you a "Thank you" note, until now.
So thanks a bunch, for using so many of your private hours and doing this! This series with best practices are going to be epic :)
I run UniFi controller Software on a Raspberry Pi.
Do I still need a Cloud Key?
Trying to get to grips with UniFi and this is very helpfull. Thumbs up and subscribed :)
please I want all users on my AP WiFi to nothing more than 1GB, how do I do that
Was there a part two and beyond for this?
Does unifi controller version effect the performance of unifi device?
Terrific video! I'm really looking forward to the future video on set inform/FQDN processes.
Awesome videos! You and Chris have really opened me up to the Unifi world. Thank you, Sir, for doing what you do.
WIllie, great video. Can you maybe include a guide on configuring automatic sync of the auto backup configuration files on Debian to Windows SMB share?
Must rewatch this to see what I’m missing
What happened to this series? I loved this video.
I should join your Discord server, I am a Ubiquiti fan, and I love networking.
Just 'moved up' to a complete unifi system for my home. Your videos are great! I just subscribed, thank you!!!
You. I like you. Wish my network was this neat. I will get to it. I promise....
Nice video on a great topic. Seems like a video on the neat things possible with a Unifi controler and a synology NAS. How to automate backups and write out the syslogs for starters. I tried to set the synology up for the syslogs and enable remote logging and ran into issues. The unifi forum had a discussion on this topic that is fearsome... Splunk and all manner of scripting to get something useable. Is it possible to save out logs automatically to the NAS that a normal human can read? Logs for the controller and the APs? Or is it the case that for a small setup, the syslogs are much more trouble than they are worth? I am leaving the remote Syslog server turned off for now. I would love to automate storage of the backups on synology.
Haha 😻 anyone talking about "we don't believe in time, man" should not be configuring firewalls.
I'm new to Unifi also. Just got a USG for cheap to try it out, but i want to get the USG pro rackmount unit. When bundling this with Ubuquity switches and other devices, do you manage them with the USG pro or software running on your server in a dedicated vm ( ie Ubuntu )
You eat your own dog food?
After getting worked up about configuring I was about to take all this unfi crap to the back yard and use an AR15 on it, i found your videos. and the equipment still lives :) Thanks this saved a Unifi life..
Hi Willie, UniFi Best Practices is great to get started. In this you leave your installation untagged. During other videos you mention Management VLAN. Can you do a video about this and the tricks you'd have to do regarding the AP?
Is Unifi controller do roaming by itself or it has to be configured? What would be the channels if you have more than 8 PPs?
Hello, great explanation! Do you have any video showing how to block certain domains from being accessed?
There is no audio.
I have been watching your videos for about a year, I have to say this is a really good reference video for setting up a new network. However, this may come as a bit of a compliment, but on my home network (which is all UniFi) I tend to implement whatever I learn in a video from you and have been piecing together my own best practices list. I had hit on all the points you covered in this video. Will you do a video on Guest Portal usage? I use Spotipo and like that.
Great! Great! Looking forward for next videos. Very usefull and step by step explained.
Great Video. Does the Bandwidth limit you set for all connected devices or per connected device?
nice video, there is a way to block a web site using a unfi? and set only a time to use the particularweb site? thanks
unifi ap lr controller often makes dhcp not working problem
Again a nice video Willy
I foresee much more great vids in the nearby feature were even i can learn from :D
Nice
Great video Willie. Really appreciate your insight and tips!
Great post ! Keep them coming and we have a really nice series about the unifi system !
Thanks for all your UniFi videos. Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing! I feel a lot better about my setup now :D
FYI, I host my controller using a DreamCompute instance and I keep my logs/autobackups on a separate volume that I mount to /var so its easy to rebuild my VM.
Also, Loving the longer video format!!
Great Video with a lot of common sense tips. Thanks
Yes, this multi-part series could go on forever, as long as Ubiquity keeps updating the Unifi software -- well at least until the sun enters the red giant phase and expands to consume the earth 5 billion years from now
Unlikely to reach a red giant. It’s not big enough, we’ll just freeze.
Nice video Willie! Thanks for the help!
can't wait for the small business setup p.2
What is the best way to update firmware to all of the devices on the network? What sequence do you use?
Davis Fire & Security generally I look at the topography and do the updates from the far end (wireless uplinked AP), then wired AP, then switches., then USG. My sites are small and short down time isn't as issue for me.
Hey Willie, love the videos I was wondering if the list that you're checking off you could do a link to so that everyone could kind of see what they are doing and keep up with or maybe add to?
Willie Howe no problem I'll have to type one out. But if I was to start off the list although at this point it is kind of late I would say that a person needs to draw out the network and start to understand what the future may hold so they can plan accordingly.
Great help, thanks, much appreciated.
Great video, lots of awesome info! When you made the Guest user group you forgot to apply it to the access point ;)
Can i manage usg pro 4 (as PPPOE) upper on cisco asa
Usg pro 4 - - - - >ciscoasa----->switch----->unifi controller
Should be possible, but there is just no sense with a configuration like that
Thanks, i have wrong buy a hardware i think
4096 kbps is not 4 Mbps. 4000kbps is 4 Mbps. You're thinking bytes, not bits
No, he's thinking bits, not bytes. And I think you're splitting hairs here, much like I just did.
TMI
Thanks Howe, for your BPs, all of them are very helpful to me
Can event logging be disabled?
Thanks, great video!
Installing a new Unifi setup where I work and this is the video series I was looking for. Thanks!
why did unifi controller 5.6.36 come out after 5.7.20?
Gordon B the 5.6 branch is the long term support controller that is feature locked, and is for 1st Gen devices. 5.7.x is the current controller for 2nd and 3rd Gen devices (uap-ac-lite/lr /pro /m / etc, and HD she nanohd)
Thanks! the download page did not specify that i remember, but it is working on my ac/lr
First:
Thanks Willie!! Great stuff...... Seeing forward to the next one :-)
Ahh... Sorry! I was the first to comment. Thats all.
When is part 2?
When is part 2?
